Transact Transform Transcend: Becoming a Thoughtful Leader: Stories from the Journey in Bloomington, MN

Are you ready to be . . .
better
? Navigating the path to becoming a better, more thoughtful, leader requires an understanding and awareness of how individuals grow and evolve, how everyday transactions can morph into significant transformations, and how mindset, intent, and an informed heartfelt approach can drive organization value. This book examines the activities, capabilities, and experiences of three types of leaders:
transactional
,
transformational
, and
transcendent
(as well as the transitions between each) to help navigate and clarify a path toward becoming a more
thoughtful leader.
Leadership knowledge, skills, values, and a strong belief system enable and equip an individual, but more is required to rise
above the fray
and become the leader required for a given moment or situation. What is
thoughtful leadership
? At their core, a thoughtful leader
listens
- not just with their ears, but with their heart, their experiences, and with an
informed gut.
The thoughtful leader also routinely
empathizes
with their team - taking the time to lean in and share experiences, pay attention to the epidata swirling around everyone, and being aware of what is going on within the organization. Being a sponge and
absorbing
and synthesizing activities and happenings is a hallmark of a thoughtful leader, as is having the skills, proficiency, and fortitude to comprehend the whole environment of their organization -
discerning
, participating, and not retreating.
BE ready to become a next generation leader - ready to optimize and advance connections, conversations, and collaborations!
