Inspired by Robert Kistner's journey into leadership across borders and over multiple decades, this book offers a practical, no-nonsense guide to bold leadership and making things happen in the workplace. From humble beginnings as a street salesman through mid- and upper-level management, Robert has developed successful strategies that leaders of all levels can implement to embolden their own careers. To that end, this book provides research-based, actionable methods and tips for the following skills:· Motivating peak performance · Measuring results· Sparking creativity in teams and leaders· Implementing mindfulness in management · Sampling functional meditation practices for business leaders· Anchoring culture in values · Sparking cultural evolution· Boosting resilience and inspiring responsibility · Making smart decisions by understanding values, tradeoffs, and subconscious drivers· Cultivating inner strength and centered leadership Harnessing the metaphor of blueprints, which provide core structural information for architectural creation, this book helps leaders build stable foundations and a trajectory of growth for the people they manage. Like blueprints, this book provides solid methodologies and strategies but leaves room for every leader's unique fingerprint in implementation. Touching on the human side by incorporating aspects of mindful management and characterizing leadership as stewardship, this book proposes that bold leadership is not only strategic performance but also a catalyst for transformation. With actionable suggestions in each chapter, this book links the "why" with the "how."
