A few years
ago, I named David Grossman’s book, Heart First, as the
best new leadership book for 2021.
So, you can
imagine how excited I am to learn that Grossman just published the second
edition of the book, titled Heart First: What Exceptional Leaders Do in Extraordinary Times.
This updated
version is for leaders at all levels who are seeking critical insights for
guiding their organizations through a pivotal time of change and complexity for
companies today.
Defining “Heart First Leadership,” Grossman explains
that it is “all about championing empathy, humanity, and authenticity to build
stronger, more trusting relationships and a thriving, purpose-driven
organization.”
The book
features:
- Proven best
practices in leadership today. - Guest columns
from a variety of senior leaders (AKA “Change Makers”). - Access to
actionable tools for direct practice (exclusive access download). - Clear
situational guidance for high-impact communication. - Contemporary
real-world examples of issues and future-focused solutions.
“We have
learned a lot since 2020 and 2021 about what makes for great leadership. As we
all know, adversity can be a great teacher, and the biggest lesson from that
period was that leaders should shed their masks,” says Grossman.
For more than
three decades, award-winning leadership and communication expert David Grossman
has helped scores of leaders become great leader communicators who drive
impressive results for their organizations.
He wrote the
first edition of Heart First in the midst of the global pandemic
and ensuing social unrest, when leaders faced a level of turmoil not seen in a
century. Despite the upheaval, many leaders rose to the occasion, often by
drawing not just from experience, but from being human as they led.
“For me, great
leadership and communication are at the heart of building a strong, positive
company culture. My hope is that Heart First (first and second editions) will continue to be a
valuable resource for leaders and communicators looking to be even better in
their roles,” shares Grossman.
As part of
David Grossman’s desire to pay it forward, his vision is to empower every
leader and communicator with insights on leadership so they can Lead with Heart
and lift others up—for free.
