Book Description

Thoughtful leadership is alive and well in every corner of the world, and in every corner of our lives. Some demonstrations of it are more obvious than others. And, sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to recognize it when it's coming from someone who will never have an opportunity to sit in the seat marked "leader."The more thoughtful leadership is practiced, the more it becomes a way of life. And, it's that way of life that makes it easier to transform an ordinary, underperforming culture into an environment that fosters growth, extraordinary results and sustainability for future generations - a healthy culture.Leadership, in general, is a mindset that helps us continue to discover, grow, develop new skills, reinvent, innovate, and then share our learnings with others. This continual process of examination and rebirth leads to our ability to plant seeds of greatness in others - leaving a legacy of leadership. The concept of planting seeds is a key element to mastering thoughtful leadership and healthy culture, and is referenced in several chapters throughout the book.Thoughtful leadership and healthy culture have no boundaries of demographic that divides people. Like art and music, these concepts tie people together from every walk of life.This book represents a collection of articles written by Bonnie Sussman-Versace, and published in various editions of the Lehigh Valley Business magazine. The collection has been modified into a series of short recipes for achieving thoughtful leadership and healthy culture, then blended together with actual food recipes designed to make your reading experience more flavorful. Please feel free to read this book in your office or kitchen, and mix and match the recipes for learning, with food recipes by preference. Bon appetit!
