The Brilliant Leader ModelTM: for the Executive Evolution

By Jennifer Whitaker

A LEADERSHIP MUST-READ! According to Executive Coach Dr. Jennifer Whitaker, "For some executives, the view from the top includes loneliness and a lack of support. Habitual workaholic tendencies are the norm among leaders, so much so that even relaxation time becomes a forum for discussing work. Activities like golf can become so competitive they feel like a continuation of business dynamics." At last, executives are given a bright torch to explore the inner self, with practical tips for self-mastery and leadership mastery.

Written by Executive Brilliance founder Dr. Jennifer Whitaker, "The Brilliant Leader ModelTM" Copyright 2011 shows you how to use the essential components of inspirational leadership and master your own "executive brilliance." Learn to integrate your inner gifts to shape outer circumstances, producing better relationships and results.

Having worked with hundreds of executives in her career, Executive Coach Dr. Jennifer Whitaker is an expert in bridging business growth, psychological transformation, and spiritual values. She encourages expression of soul at work.

"The Brilliant Leader ModelTM--for the Executive Evolution" is an evolutionary model for today’s leader. In the past, corporations focused only on a leader’s performance--what the leader does--his or her external activity and results. Even though a leader may be uncomfortable in exploring the hidden regions of his or her identity, the powerful yet unseen ‘qualities of being’ are the lifeblood of the person and, by extension, the organization.
Founder of Executive Brilliance, Dr. Jennifer Whitaker says that "The Brilliant Leader ModelTM" will help you find new ways to create an enduring legacy and to 'Know Thyself.' Increased profit is a natural result of consistently using this model that represents an active, ongoing relationship to self. According to Dr. Whitaker, leadership improves with self-mastery. She adds, "While the soul is impossible to describe, we recognize its vibrant, expressive, and transformational qualities...There’s vast potential in discovering your inner treasures while softening your business mask."

Executive Brilliance is an Atlanta-based business consultancy providing executive coaching and consulting services in the area of succession planning, leadership transition and employee engagement.
