For the first time, Robb presents his proven and purposeful Inside Out Leadership™principles as a practical guide to transform your leadership and help you lead the way!In a 2014 survey by Deloitte University Press, nearly 90% of workers interviewed admitted that they were not excited about their careers. Business owners and leaders aren't too far behind at 80%. The main reason is plain and simple: a lack of purpose and passion in the workplace. A rigid separation exists between one's personal and professional life. What's even more alarming is that nearly 80% of organizations know they have an engagement problem. Concerned leaders have employed a variety of techniques in attempts to motivate their team members. Such strategies have given us decent results, but not nearly the transformational change needed to maximize workplace performance. These approaches almost always operate from the outside in. Thankfully, there is a better way to transform workplace culture and conquer low engagement rates once and for all - a way that empowers leaders to inspire and invigorate their teams rather than trying to squeeze productivity out of them. That's where Inside Out Leadership comes in. Robb Holman masterfully unveils and unpacks these three life-changing areas in Lead the Way:Foundations for Inside Out Leadership™The Core Convictions of An Inside Out LeaderThe Big "Why" Behind Your Business
