Stop Rewarding Selfish Leaders: New York Times #1 Author Joseph Michelli's Launches New Book

How do the worst leadership behaviors gain so much attention in traditional and social media?  Isn’t it time we celebrate and learn from leaders who navigated the crises of 2020 by:

1) Practicing effective self-care so they could care for those they served

2) Saying, “I don’t know but let’s find out.”

3) Listening for understanding and demonstrating empathy

4) Communicating calmly, consistently, and purposefully

5) Sharing hope and realistic optimism

6) Making morally challenging decisions in keeping with mission, vision, and values

7) Placing safety supreme

8) Speaking with humility, vulnerability, and authenticity

9) Inspiring others to grow, develop, and rises to challenges

10) Positioning organizations for success in a post-pandemic world

Joseph Michelli, Ph.D., reached out to and captured insights from more than 140 corporate, nonprofit, academic, and public safety leaders. Dr. Michelli shares their wisdom in his 10th book published by McGraw-Hill titled Stronger Through Adversity: World-Class Leaders Share Pandemic-Tested Lessons for Thriving During the Toughest Challenges.

Book contributors include CEO’s, Presidents, Board Members, and Vice Presidents of organizations like:

Microsoft, Marriott, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Starbucks, Target, Verizon, United Way, FTD, American Red Cross, Farmers Insurance, International Dairy Queen, H&R Block, & Logitech  

While political leaders have contributed to divisiveness, Dr. Michelli highlights individuals who have united and transformed their organization. Stronger Through Adversity is a candid look into strategies, tactics, fears, successes, mistakes, and lessons learned by leaders from diverse industries.  Filled with inspirational stories, Stronger Through Adversity offers actionable tools to effectively lead organizations, teams, family, and community groups in tranquil and turbulent times.

A portion of the book’s proceeds are being donated to Direct Relief, an international nonprofit organization that provides medical supplies and funding to those affected by the pandemic.
