In Leading With Wisdom, Jann Freed takes the several years she spent interviewing more than 100 respected leaders, and distills their advice into eight practices that underpin leaders who connect and inspire others to achieve high performance. She takes the words of heavyweights such as Warren Bennis, Peter Senge, Stephen Covey, Marshall Goldsmith, Peter Block, and Margaret Wheatley, and presents their insights on what works and what doesn’t. Each chapter concludes with a practical application section that details ways to integrate the concepts into workshops and personal development.
Don't pass by this book because you think it is about business leadership. It is about living a life of balance, giving back, mentoring and growing in wisdom.
The principles outlined in Dr. Freed's work can apply to leadership within your business circle, your civic organizations, your family...anywhere that you have influence on other people and can share insights.
After reading this marvelous book, I feel compelled to write my "ethical will" and give great thought to my eulogy. Thank you, Jann Freed for sharing the fruit of your own personal quest to be that "sage."
