  Great leaders and teams don't know everything, and they don't get it right every time. What sets them apart is their commitment to continual learning and vertical growth. Vertical growth is about cultivating the self-awareness to see our self-defeating thoughts, assumptions, and behaviors, and then consciously creating new behaviors that are aligned with our best intentions and aspirations. 
   
   
   
  By embracing the deliberate practices and processes for vertical growth laid out in this book, you'll not only radically improve your leadership and personal wellbeing—you'll also foster the highest levels of trust, psychological safety, motivation, and creativity in the teams and groups you work with. 
   
   
   
  You'll to discover how to: identify when, where, and how to develop new leadership behaviors to get better results; regulate your emotional responses in real time and handle the most difficult challenges with balance, wisdom, and accountability; cultivate practices for self-awareness that foster lifelong internal growth and personal happiness; uncover and change the limiting assumptions and beliefs that keep you, your team, and organization locked in unproductive habits and behaviors; and create practices and rituals that enable the highest levels of psychological safety, innovation, and growth.

  What is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions. 
   
   
   
  Characterized as the "backstage" family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers—exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality. 
   
   
   
  Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labor, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future—not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.
