Rescuing the Corporate Exhausted Hero


Book Description

"The goal is to rescue exhausted heroes and the companies that rely on them. Are you an exhausted hero--a manager on the brink of burnout? Your team isn't working on full throttle, expectations are upside down; you keep getting feedback to change, but you're too crushed under the responsibilities you're already carrying to figure out how. Are you a leader who's losing your high-potential talent in droves? Maybe you're tasked with coaching a promising manager into a new leadership role, or you see that a manager you value is struggling, but you don't know how to help them. ... and this book will help you create an actionable game plan to become a more strategic leader."--Edited summary from Amazon.com
