Description
Book Selection - "Encouraging the Heart: A Leader's Guide to Rewarding and Recognizing Others" by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner
All too often, simple acts of human kindness are often overlooked and underutilized by people in leadership roles. Advising mutual respect and recognition of accomplishments, encouraging the heart shows us how true leaders encourage and motivate those they work with, by helping them find their voice and making them feel like heroes.
