Lead Well: 5 Mindsets to Engage, Retain, and Inspire Your Team
A holistic, research-backed framework to future-proof your leadership and unlock the full potential of your team
In the wake of the pandemic and on the cusp of the generative AI revolution, the world of work has undergone a seismic shift. Chronic stress, burnout, and employee disengagement have reached crisis levels, and leaders are struggling to keep their teams motivated and inspired amid relentless change and uncertainty. Conventional management approaches are no longer sufficient, demanding a new leadership framework to address the root causes of these challenges.
To meet this moment, Lead Well: 5 Mindsets to Engage, Retain, and Inspire Your Team provides a timely and practical blueprint for a new era of leadership. Drawing on extensive research and workshops with thousands of leaders, Paula Davis, CEO and founder of the Stress & Resilience Institute and author of Beating Burnout at Work, offers a transformative approach to building high-performing teams that can adapt and grow, even in the face of relentless change.
Lead Well offers actionable tools and insights to help you and your team today:
+ Discover the 5 Lead Well mindsets that can transform your team's well-being at work;
+ Explore research-backed strategies to foster a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and values alignment at work;
+ Gain techniques to improve workload management, work-life integration, and sustainable productivity;
+ Develop skills to build team cohesion and a culture of trust and support;
+ Cultivate practices that boost systemic resilience and help teams adapt to disruption; and
+ Implement Tiny Noticeable Things (TNTs) that can be quickly adopted by teams.
Davis's first book, Beating Burnout at Work, addressed individuals and teams experiencing significant stress. This new book offers a method for addressing the factors that can lead to counterproductive stress and disengagement.
Whether you're a seasoned leader or an emerging manager, Lead Well provides a holistic, research-backed framework to future-proof your leadership and unlock the full potential of your team. Navigating today's turbulent work landscape has never been more critical--or more achievable.
