The Biology of Leadership: Embrace Your Human Nature and Become a Better Leader
Learn how to manage your emotions, energy and actions so that you can better lead others. As a leader, can you say with assurance that you consistently show up as your best and inspire others to do the same? Too many leaders cannot, and the underlying message is that performance suffers. In The Biology of Leadership, expert executive coach Carl Oxholm demonstrates how leaders can harness their better instincts and tap into the remarkable potential that exists in every voice, to get the outcomes they want and need. Drawing on key scientific insights and his decades of experience in corporate leadership roles, Oxholm showcases the relevance of biology to business. He offers techniques that leaders can use to become more intelligent about their emotions and shows how doing so can influence the bottom line. In this book, you will learn: - What drives your reactions and responses, so you can be a more effective leader - The important implications of the physiological fact that 'we feel before we think' - How to direct the quality, focus, and expression of your energy as you lead others to success - The art (and science) of cocreating optimal results - How to develop conscious, intentional relationships so that the performance of your entire team flourishes - And much, much more Each person is a biological wonder, a one-of-a-kind expression of life itself. This book helps you understand how your unique biology affects your ability to be, and how to make the greatest positive impact for yourself, others, and your organization.

How to Work with (Almost) Anyone: Five Questions for Building the Best Possible Relationships
Your happiness and your success depend on your working relationships The people you manage. How well you work with your boss. The way collaboration happens with colleagues and peers. How you connect with important prospects and key clients. But the hard truth is this: most of us leave the health and fate of these relationships to chance. We say “Hi,” exchange pleasantries … and hope for the best. But every relationship becomes suboptimal at some point, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start. Mostly we are resigned to the fact that this is what happens: relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. Carry on. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Every working relationship can be better. This book shows you how to build the best possible relationship. One conversation. Five questions. Detailed guidance on how to prepare and set the relationship up for success. Key insights on how to maintain the relationship so that it will continue to thrive.

The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever
From the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Coaching Habit comes a book of advice...on how to give less advice. Ah, the irony. The Coaching Habit was an unexpected bestseller: over 750 thousand copies sold so far, a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and used by people and organizations around the world. If The Coaching Habit says, “Here are the seven essential questions to be more coach-like,” The Advice Trap is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behaviour so you stay curious a little bit longer. It sounds like it should be easy, but it’s not. To get there, leading coach and trainer Michael Bungay Stanier offers specific coaching strategies, particularly on how to focus on what matters most. The audiobook of The Advice Trap gives you tools to make your conversations, coaching and otherwise, irresistible. If you’ve already read The Advice Trap, thank you, and there’s a ton of added value content for you in the audiobook, too. Michael’s invited other voices to respond to what was most useful for them in each of the chapters, so there are different perspectives and less of a monologue of advice. You’ll hear from: • Pau Gasol, NBA All-Star • Dr. Alex Osterwalder, leading management thinker • Dr. Kofi Hope, co-founder of Monumental • Feyzi Fatehi, CEO of Corent Technology • Leanne Hughes, host of the First Time Facilitator podcast • Dr. Shannon Minifie, CEO of Box of Crayons • Sandy McIntosh, EVP and CHRO of TELUS • Tyson Yunkaporta, author of the acclaimed book Sand Talk In 2019, Michael Bungay Stanier was named the #1 Thought Leader in Coaching, and was short-listed for the coaching award by Thinkers50, the “Oscars of Management.” His work’s been featured in journals such as HBR, Fast Company, Forbes, and Inc., and his company, Box of Crayons, has trained more than 100,000 people, regular managers, leaders, and individual contributors in the tools and mindset required for this essential leadership behaviour: staying curious and being more coach-like. You’ll get all of that wisdom and experience when you listen to The Advice Trap. (And, by the way, thank you in advance for buying it and listening.) A Page Two Books production
