Over the past 20 years, Mike Robbins has worked with people, leaders, and teams inside of a wide range of great organizations from Google to Citibank, from the U.S. Department of Labor to the San Francisco Giants, from small start-ups in Silicon Valley to family-owned businesses in the Midwest. His experience with such diverse and successful clients, as well as his extensive research, have taught him some important lessons about what it takes to thrive in today's complex business world. Mike shares the most important insights and techniques he's learned in this book.
The lines between our personal and professional lives are blurred more than ever these days. Whatever is happening to us outside of work - whether stressful, painful, or joyful - follows us into work as well. We may think we have to keep these two realities under wraps and act as if we "have it all together." However, we can work better, lead better, and be more engaged and fulfilled if - instead of trying to hide who we are - we show up fully and authentically.
Bringing our whole selves to work means acknowledging that we're vulnerable, imperfect human beings doing the best we can. It means having the courage to take risks, speak up, have compassion for ourselves and others, ask for help, connect with people in a genuine way, and allow ourselves to be truly seen.
This book will help you:
- Be bold and authentic in how you communicate, lead, and work
- Appreciate yourself and those with whom you work in a genuine and effective way
- Focus on and expand your emotional intelligence
- Embrace and deepen your growth mindset
- Connect, trust, and collaborate more easily and successfully with your team and those with whom you work
