About this audiobook
You can be the leader you want to be--today and every day. Do you find yourself wishing you had more hours in the day? Do you want to do more, yet feel you just can't add another thing to your plate without being overwhelmed by stress or compromising your health, relationships, and integrity? No doubt, as a leader, there are some days when you feel the flow. You're able to make a difference and achieve big goals. You feel confident and energized. On days like this, you're your best self--the leader you want to be. But on other days, you go down a different, negative path, with pressures and doubts making you feel like a lesser version of yourself. How can you be the leader you want to be, every day? The answer is more than a time-management system or a silver-bullet solution for changing your routines. Leadership expert and coach Amy Jen Su's powerful new book helps readers discover that the answer lies within. By focusing in specific ways on five key leadership elements--Purpose, Process, People, Presence, and Peace--you can increase your time, capacity, energy, and ultimately your impact, with less stress and more equanimity. Drawing on rich and instructive stories of clients, leaders, artists, and athletes, as well as on research by experts, the author brings together the best of both Western management thinking and Eastern philosophy to provide a holistic yet hands-on approach. The Leader You Want to Be is the indispensable guide to helping you tap into and expand your leadership capacity so that you can sustain your optimal level of performance and thrive as a leader.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved this book. I opted to read this book as a part of NetGalley and then forgot to download it. But I found an audiobook on Scribd and was able to read this GEM!
Whether you're a small business owner who is stuck and wants to expand, or you're an executive in a big organization, this book has huge lessons on how you can be a better leader. It has a clear roadmap with proper exercises that if done, will help you get a fair bit of mental clarity, and most importantly, peace. As a leader, you have to realize that your role is more than getting things done. Your role is holistic and actually impacts more people than you know. In such a case, making sure you're a leader who is kind and impactful is NECESSARY.
Many times, even when we're in leadership positions, we can't bring ourselves to mentally adapt to that level. This causes a lot of stress. Stressors can be related to overwork, improper delegation, lack of processes, or simply overcomplication. Sorting these out mentally can ensure a healthier lifestyle for us and for the people who work for us.
This book is powerpacked with learnings and I will definitely be re-reading it again to glean more insights. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Leader You Want to Be goes deeper than your average leadership book. I found myself making note of several new practices to try. In addition to the five principles, the author relies heavily on a comparison between two types of leaders, with the A being the one we all aspire to.
