Being one-hundred percent human has been the state of being for organizational leaders and their teams for all time. Despite this obvious and undeniable fact, humanness as a principal factor in leadership has historically not been the top priority.Seeing and hearing team members as wholly human is not only relevant to talent attraction and retention but is an asset which astute and courageous leaders can leverage for improving communication, bettering collaboration, enhancing creativity, and achieving greater prosperity.In this book, explore these opportunities from the perspectives of a leader and a coach of leaders.
