For too long, the world has adopted a masculine approach to leadership – leadership that is heavy on logic, mathematics and results. Kerry Swan’s Heartfelt Leadership model challenges this approach and proposes that if you want to lead people and projects to success, you need to reorient your leadership to a more balanced perspective. Developed from twenty years’ experience as a business coach and consultant, in Heartfelt Leadership, Kerry outlines her model that has helped hundreds of leaders, to solve their day-to-day management pain. Heartfelt Leadership is about two things: fixing work, people and team problems, and then understanding the deeper reasons why you have the issues in the first place. With a more balanced and courageous approach, this book will help you get more done with less stress regarding your people and projects. It will also support you in creating real change with less hassle from your team. Throughout the book, Kerry shares a range of practical stories about leading change and growing teams. These stories are supported with practical activities that illustrate how you can lead others and lead them the way they want to be led. Adopting the approach in this book will set you and your team up for high levels of accountability and teach you the importance of difficult conversations. You will understand the language of heartfelt leaders and focus on the brevity of life to make sure that your legacy lives on. Heartfelt Leadership is a roadmap, a way forward, and it offers simple straightforward advice to leaders in the trenches.
With more than 20 years of experience as a self-employed consultant, coach and teacher, Kerry has worked with hundreds of managers and leaders. For most of that time, Kerry has taught project management and provided strategic business planning advice and management consulting services to organisations large and small. Kerry is also an entrepreneur. Having survived two business start-ups and the volatility of business in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Kerry understands, personally, the realities and frustrations of business and leading a team through change. These days Kerry works with her husband Craig across their three diverse family businesses with a team of more than 35 people, Kerry loves the daily challenges of leadership.
* It is a practical book to provide immediate solutions to common team, work and life problems. It is also a philosophical book that asks the reader to think more deeply about life and authentic leadership. * Heartfelt Leadership was written for smart people who need to get things done. Senior leaders who are good at their job, but want direct, no-nonsense advice and need a mix of strategic and practical support. * Heartfelt Leadership is different because it has been written from lived experience. The author has built several small businesses and consulted with many large organisations. Rich with stories that will resonate with the harassed and busy leader, Heartfelt Leadership provides immediate practical relief and space for reflection. Publicity: * The author has engaged Scott Eathorne from QuikMarkMedia to deliver a three month campaign (February to April 2022). The campaign will focus on magazine editorial, newspaper and online coverage and later online, radio and podcast activities. * In late November I will run an informal launch and utilise my social media networks to encourage early readers to sample the book.
