Summary

We are in the middle of a leadership crisis. CEOs are grappling  with an onslaught of forces  growth in their companies has  stalled, and productivity is flat. At the same time, they are  contending with a distrustful, cynical workforce along with their  own personal burnout. They are surrounded by volatility and  impermanence in everything from the economy to industry shifts.  Many are uncertain and ill-equipped to withstand these forces.  This book shows how great leaders are staying rooted and  aspiring to new heights by applying a unique model of leadership,  based on the idea that what makes a successful leader is who a  person is, not what he does. This new leadership is defined by the  Six Dimensions of Healthy Leadership: physical,  emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual health.  Great execution begins inside a person; leaders need to step back  from their actions and begin to think about themselves as people.  They need to look inside themselves, into their values,  personalities and experiences, and commit themselves to being  healthy. Only then can they lead.  What makes Grounded unique is that it focuses on a deeply  human, personal approach to leadership, looking at leaders not as  icons or heroes but as real people with aspirations, fears,  concerns and emotions. The Six Dimensions model is illustrated by  interviews with dozens of leaders such as Dennis Nally, PWC  Chairman; Kay Koplovitz, CEO of USA Networks; Graham Allen of the  British Parliament; Tim Ryan, Ohio Congressman; Eric Schoomaker,  Surgeon General of the US Army; and Mike Puzziferri, Battalion  Chief of the New York Fire Department. This multifaceted approach  is also supported by the latest results of HCIs unique  Healthy Leader 360 Assessment, which was developed based on  hundreds of face-to-face interviews with executives around the  world. Above all, the authorsoffer inspiration and motivation.  Without glossing over the difficulty of readers leadership  challenges, they show that change, while difficult, can happen, and  give readers the insights and tools for revitalizing their personal  and work lives.
