*Overcome imposter syndrome and develop unshakeable confidence.
*Transform from a tactical expert to a strategic leader.
*Develop leadership presence that people naturally respect and follow.
*Engage and inspire your team through empowerment and growth.

This book was written smack in the middle of a world crisis of epic proportions — the COVID-19 health crisis. The crisis tested the skills of some of the best leaders in those industries most impacted by the crisis — healthcare, hospitality, real estate, education, transportation, and many others. Our in-depth interviews with CEOs and other senior leaders in these businesses revealed the biggest challenges they faced and how they dealt with them, what positive outcomes they were able to create under highly stressful conditions, what mistakes and miscalculations they made, and what leadership lessons were learned during this time. It was these leadership lessons that they have carried forward and will make them more successful leaders in the future.

"Grace Under Pressure: Leading Through Change and Crisis" focuses on three things leaders need to do when change and adversity strike: take care of their people, take care of themselves, and prepare for the future. And they must do it all with a sense of grace—calmly, collectedly, and compassionately.

Baldoni's timely and much-needed new book, describes what it takes to remain calm and in control in moments of urgency. When "fight or flight" seem like our only options, good leaders do neither. Instead, they stay put and lead with grace and compassion, knowing that their own futures and livelihoods are bound up with those they lead.

Among the themes Baldoni explores are fear and loss as well as empathy, resilience, and hope. This book also provides a roadmap for leaders seeking to create community as they meet the coming challenges with dignity and grace.

Compassionate Leadership draws on new and established research in psychology, behavioural science, neuropsychology and leadership theory to show that compassion, when correctly understood and applied is, in fact, a formidable and sustainable force for positive leadership. This book explores the common myths, pitfalls, and concerns about leading with a compassionate approach. It discusses the leadership, organisational and individual benefits of compassion and shows how leaders can design an organisation which establishes, then reinforces, a compassionate culture. A practical guide, this book presents a new model of compassion and provides evidence-based tools, appraisals, and frameworks which emphasise everyday applications that leaders, managers, and business students can adopt both individually and for their organisations. It gives leaders a theoretical and practical underpinning they can use for deeper reflection and personal growth to turn their new-found knowledge into action.
