Chris is a wise and articulate author, with a genuine heart for humankind. I highly recommend this new book for an insightful roadmap to figuring out why we do what we do (especially when pressure comes) and how to live and lead with impact!
There are two paths you can take as a leader.
You can lead for validation or you can lead for impact.
One path leads to joy, satisfaction, and healthy relationships.
The other path leads to regret, resentment, and ruined relationships.
Unfortunately, too many leaders are leading for validation, not impact, and modern leadership development isn’t helping people become great leaders.
In Lead for Impact: Why Mindfulness, Empathy, and Psychological Safety Don’t Make Great Leaders, authors Chris McAlister and Bret Burchard redefine what it means to be a world-class leader and provide a formula to get there.
If you want to become a leader who leads for impact, you’ll have to go further than the popular leadership fads of our time.
It will take more than gimmicky retreats, overpriced seminars, and motivational hacks. It will take more than mindfulness, empathy, and psychological safety.
You will have to gain a deeper understanding of who you are, where you are, and where you are going.
When you become a leader of impact, you will finally become a leader that changes people’s lives for the better.

I like the thought of leading for impact and contrasting to leading for validation. The book challenges some of the norms we are told and looks deeper. Thought provoking
Solid and Concise!

This book concisely articulates a foundational leadership concept! If you get this wrong as a leader you won’t get yourself or those you lead where you ultimately want to go. Well done.
