Crowley shows how trading in the old business playbook for heart-led leadership strategies will create purpose-driven, dedicated employees and higher levels of performance. Revised and updated to address the needs of those managing Gen Z and millennial employees in addition to the latest global research on employee engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a common belief in business that the heart has no place in workplace management. In fact, most of us were taught that the heart acts like Kryptonite in leadership—it inherently undermines a manager's effectiveness and lowers productivity and profitability. But in this completely revised and updated edition of his ground-breaking and now classic work, Mark C. Crowley provides irrefutable proof that we were wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book he will show:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHow traditional leadership practices are failing.

Today, pay barely makes the list of what inspires people to put their hearts into their work and contribute to their highest capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeople have evolved in what they need and want in exchange for work. 21st century employees are seeking to find purpose, meaning, and feelings of significance. What drives their engagement is being made to feel valued, respected, appreciated, developed, and cared for, and managers who demonstrate empathy and compassion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTraditional leadership practices are failing and an entirely new model of leadership is needed to match up to the needs and motivations of 21st century workers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecent medical and social science discoveries prove it's the heart, not the mind, that drives human motivation and achievement.
