The Enlightened Edge for Leaders: Ignite the Power of You Barbara Bouchet

Who is in charge of your life?  The Limited You or the Essential You?Despite your best intentions and efforts, the Limited You often stands in the way of full leadership potential and limits your vision. But when you ignite the power of the Essential You, you have a hotline to a smarter and wiser you. The Essential You optimizes your impact when you need it the most. As clarity replaces confusion, as you connect rather than react, your ability to influence and inspire others will soar.  You will learn how to work with your enlightened edge so you can unleash your full leadership potential and:

• Be as confident, powerful, and visible as you need to be
• Bring out the best in yourself and others when the heat is on
• See your blind spots and move out of your comfort zone 
• Go into challenging conversations fully prepared 
• Recover gracefully from painful mistakes 

This book will strengthen the clear thinking and clear feeling that is necessary for effective leadership in any area of your life. By working with your enlightened edge, you can be a leader anywhere, anytime. It provides a foundation for working with both the light and the dark aspects of who you are. It will show you how to shift from the Limited You, who is confined, guarded and constricted, and can even do more harm than good, to the Essential You, who is wise, expansive, centered and can inspire others to join you. Your integrity, vision and personal power will become more stable as you develop skill in challenging what isn't serving your best interests. This equips you to both lead yourself and others so that when the heat is on, you bring out the best in yourself and the best in others. You'll learn to work creatively with tension, optimize your impact by making focused contact at critical moments and go into challenging conversations fully prepared.
