A Sampling Of Testimonials:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0\u201cThis book is a testament to the wisdom of ignoring the well-meaning advice of experts who too often look backwards to formulate strategies for the future. Had Mark C. Crowley listened to an expert who told him to stop writing about the heart \u2013 about the role of emotion \u2013 in leadership, this wonderful book would not exist, and those of us who study or practice leadership would be the poorer as a result.\u00a0 Engaging, searingly honest, and deeply researched,\u00a0\u2018Lead From The Heart\u2019\u00a0is destined to be a classic.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lead From The Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In his thoroughly revised & updated edition\u00a0of his now classic book , Mark C. Crowley provides the roadmap workplace leaders the world over are seeking: How to most successfully & sustainably inspire & manage other human beings in the post-pandemic era.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Over a decade ago, Mark C. Crowley was first to assert that traditional leadership practices weren\u2019t just failing, they were doing profound harm to people. Signs were already clear that workers were neither engaged nor happy in their jobs \u2013 & that the era of working just for a paycheck had ended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his truly groundbreaking book, “Lead From The Heart,”<\/em> he also predicted that workers would one day quit organizations if they felt their deeply human needs for feeling valued, respected, appreciated & personally cared for weren’t being consistently met. And, after people had time to deeply reflect upon their careers and personal happiness\u00a0during the two-year-long COVID pandemic, tens of millions of workers globally have<\/em> quit. And, according to McKinsey Consulting, the number one reason people have given to explain why they resigned during the “Great Resignation” is\u00a0<\/span>“not having had a caring manager.”<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is people have greatly evolved in what they need and want in exchange for work, & this massive change in expectations demands that managers embrace an entirely new way of leading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his new and virtually re-written edition, which debuted as a “#1 New Release” on Amazon, Crowley brilliantly reinforces his groundbreaking thesis that human beings are most often influenced by feelings and emotions \u2013 & that it’s the heart, not the mind, that drives human motivation & achievement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding truly remarkable scientific research that has emerged since the first edition was published in 2011 <\/span>\u2013 <\/span>in addition to deeply moving and illustrative stories \u2013\u00a0he proves leading with an intentional balance of mind and heart has become essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we’ve passed on traditional leadership thinking from generation to generation, the idea of bringing heart into leadership has long been judged as being both preposterous and counterproductive to managerial success. In reductionist thinking, we’ve been conditioned to assume that managers who care about their people will also stop holding them accountable for performance and results. \u00a0What Crowley has proved is that caring leaders are the catalyst for high\u00a0<\/span>productivity \u2013<\/em><\/i> not less.<\/p>\n

On the cutting edge twelve years ago, the second edition of “Lead From The Heart” provides\u00a0irrefutable proof that Mark C. Crowley’s thesis hasn’t just held up, it provides the leadership solution organizations around the world are seeking in order to win back the hearts and minds of their workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLead From The Heart\u201d<\/em> has been taught at 11 American\u00a0Universities:\u00a0Northern Arizona\u00a0University, Embry-Riddle University, University of Texas, San Antonio,\u00a0Mount Saint\u00a0Mary’s College (NY), San Diego State University, Marymount University (VA), the University of Southern Maine, the\u00a0graduate strategic Leadership seminar at the University of Iowa, Purdue University Global, the Masters in Public Administration program at California State University, Northridge, & the\u00a0Organizational\u00a0Psychology PhD program at\u00a0the University of Massachusetts Global (formally Brandman University).<\/span><\/p>\n

In late 2020, fourteen Ph.D. students at the University of Massachusetts Global\u2019s Educational Leadership Ph.D. program began research on one of the four \u201c<\/span>Lead From The Heart\u201d<\/em> practices & its impact on leadership within elementary & secondary education. As of 2023, all of these students completed their thesis, earned their Doctorate degrees \u2013 & further confirmed the efficacy of the \u201cLead From The Heart\u201d philosophy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Amazon.com, \u201cLead From The Heart\u201d<\/em>\u00a0received nearly 600 reader reviews earning an average score of over 4.8 out of 5.<\/span><\/p>\n
