Recommended Reading: Lead from The Heart

Twenty-first-century employees need to feel… valued, respected, developed, and cared for. Their work has to matter. Recent scientific discoveries tell us that it’s the heart, and not the mind, that drives human performance and achievement.  It’s also interesting that the real pioneers in being a more “feeling” person or to lead with your heart is those from country music.

“Anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.”

Brad Paisley  

“Don’t break my heart, my achy breaky heart”

Billy Ray Cyrus

Listen to advice, but follow your heart”

Conway Twitty

Interesting quotes from some interesting sources.  You may laugh at these at first, but allow it to sink in for a moment.

There is one author that seems to agree with the notions that being more in tune with the heart, even when it comes to business and leadership, can be quite successful.  Mark C. Crowley’s latest book, Lead from the Heart , discusses a new transformational type of leadership for the 21st century. 

If you are looking for a new way to lead a company in the 21st century along with how to lead the new breed of employees and not write them off as “generation x,y,z” or “lazy”, I highly suggest this book.

In Lead From The Heart, Crowley presents compelling new evidence that the solution leaders need lies in  the last place traditional business would seek it: the human heart
