Summary

“This inspiring book belongs on the desk of every CEO and politician. With eye-opening case studies and recommended behaviors in every chapter, it's an indispensable user guide for servant leaders.” 
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and coeditor of  
Servant Leadership in Action 
 
On the most fundamental level, leaders must bring divergent groups together and forge a consensus on a path forward. But what makes that possible? Humility—a deep regard for the dignity of others—is the key, says distinguished leadership educator Marilyn Gist. 
 
Leadership is a relationship, and humility is the foundation for all healthy relationships. Leader humility can increase engagement and retention. It inspires and motivates. Gist offers a model of leader humility derived from three questions people ask of their leaders: Who are you? Where are we going? Do you see me? She explores each of these questions in depth, as well as the six key qualities of leader humility: a balanced ego, integrity, a compelling vision, ethical strategies, generous inclusion, and a developmental focus.  
 
Much of this book is based on Gist's interviews with a dozen distinguished leaders of organizations such as the Mayo Clinic, Costco, REI, Alaska Airlines, Starbucks, and others. And the foreword and a guest chapter are written by Alan Mulally, the legendary leader who brought Ford back from the brink of bankruptcy after the 2008 financial collapse and whose work is an exemplar of leader humility.

    Learn how you can apply the main lessons & principles from Without Saying a Word in a quick, easy listen! Are your professional and personal relationships being sabotaged by your body language? Many times positive verbal communication is undermined by negative nonverbal communication. In Without Saying a Word, body language experts Kasia and Patryk Wezowski examine the secret language of gestures and facial expressions. After decades of research and personal experience, the couple understands the correlation between success and body language. Superior salespeople and negotiators know how to read the nonverbal cues that speak volumes about what the folks across the table from them truly think. In addition, skilled salespeople and negotiators know how to make their body language enhance their presentations. Without Saying a Word delves into the ways body language can help or hurt any relationship, from giving a presentation to a room full of strangers to closing a sales call to improving a person’s friendships and romantic involvements. The Wezowskis decode the positive and negative meanings underlying body language and microexpressions, and then they teach readers to make authentic inner changes that will be reflected in the ways the outside world perceives them. Kasia and Patryk Wezowski founded the Center for Body Language, the foremost company for training business people in the art and science of body language. In addition, they are pioneers in the field of Micro Expressions, and they are the executive producers of “Destressed”, an award winning documentary.

So, if your vision is to become a better communicator and presenter, a more innovative thinker, a more productive performer, a more efficient manager, a more effective coach, or a more visionary and inspirational leader, then this exciting new book will open your "mind's eye" to a whole new world: the world of VisuaLeadership.

    The risk when venturing into a new business from scratch is that you can easily get so absorbed by building your business that you forget to clearly establish where you want your business to go in the long-term. That is why you see very few people conscious enough to direct their attention not only on the entering aspect but also on the exiting one. You need to be aware of the advantages of planning the finish just as you’re starting up. Exit Strategy: The Art of Getting Out Smartly teaches about the importance of making exit-planning part of your start-up planning. Besides the fact that it’s healthy and common sense to consider that one day you will leave that business already having in mind alternatives and the way in which to do it will make the whole process much easier and increase the chances that your decisions will be those that will best serve you.
