Description:

Total Leadership, invented by Friedman when he was global head of leadership development at Ford Motor, based on years of research and testing, is a unique resource that shows how you can become more successful and satisfied in all dimensions of life by:

Being real—acting with authenticity by clarifying what’s important: Understanding how crucial events in the past have shaped your values and aspirations; assessing the relative importance of work, home, community, and self; taking stock of how much attention you invest in each of these four domains; and diagnosing your satisfaction in each.
Being whole—acting with integrity by respecting the whole person: Identifying the most important people in your life and their performance expectations, determining how different expectations affect one another, assessing how your use different media for connecting with these “key stakeholders,” and preparing and conducting dialogues with each one to verify assumptions and see things through their eyes.
Being innovative—acting with creativity by experimenting with new solutions: After seeing both what and who are important in a fresh light, designing and implementing small, smart, potent experiments that swiftly produce better results in all four parts of life and that transform alienation, exhaustion, and resentment into feelings of purpose, authenticity, connection, and optimism.
