A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "For nearly thirty years, my
life's work has been to help people like you find ways to bring the
often warring aspects of life into greater harmony." -- Stew
Friedman, from Leading the Life You Want You're busy trying to lead
a "full" life. But does it really feel full--or are you stretched
too thin? Enter Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to
leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the
misguided metaphor of "work/life balance" with something more
realistic and sustainable. If you're seeking "balance" you'll never
achieve it, argues Friedman. The idea that "work" competes with
"life" ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity--the
interaction of four domains: work, home, community, and the private
self. The goal is to create harmony among them instead of thinking
only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done. Building on his
national bestseller, Total Leadership, and on decades of research,
teaching, and practice as both consultant and senior executive,
Friedman identifies the critical skills for integrating work and
the rest of life. He illustrates them through compelling original
stories of these remarkable people: * former Bain & Company CEO
and Bridgespan co-founder Tom Tierney * Facebook COO and
bestselling author Sheryl Sandberg * nonprofit leader and US Navy
SEAL Eric Greitens * US First Lady Michelle Obama * soccer
champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy * renowned artist Bruce
Springsteen Each of these admirable (though surely imperfect)
people exemplifies a set of skills--for being real, being whole,
and being innovative--that produce a sense of purpose, coherence,
and optimism. Based on interviews and research, their stories paint
a vivid picture of how six very different leaders use these skills
to act with authenticity, integrity, and creativity--and they prove
that significant public success is accomplished not at the expense
of the rest of life, but as the result of meaningful engagement in
all its parts. With dozens of practical exercises for strengthening
these skills, curated from the latest research in organizational
psychology and related fields, this book will inspire you, inform
you, and instruct you on how to take realistic steps now toward
leading the life you truly want.
