Called "ideal reading for people who want to make a positive impact in
their organizations" by best-selling author and top-rated TED speaker
Daniel Pink, Do Good to Lead Well - The Science of Positive Leadership
by Craig Dowden (Ph.D.) is resonating with top corporate executives and
international thought leaders, with endorsements from best-selling
authors and world-class TED speakers such as Adam Grant and Marshall
Goldsmith, as well as over 24 CEOs of leading organizations.
A long-time columnist for the Financial Post and the Huffington Post,
with an upcoming column slated for Forbes, Dowden combines years of
interviewing and coaching top CEOs with his extensive knowledge of
business psychology to share six pillars of positive leadership:
self-awareness, civility, humility, focus on the positive, meaning and
purpose, and empathy. Although these qualities are not often
traditionally associated with the corporate boardroom, research provides
a compelling business case for their importance and effectiveness.
His book provides an evidence-based roadmap to positive leadership,
outlining the return on investment of these six pillars. Do Good to Lead
Well also shows how executives can effectively demonstrate these
behaviors within their day-to-day leadership practice, for their
benefit, as well as for the benefit of the teams and organizations they
lead.
