All too often, simple acts of human kindness are often overlooked and under utilized 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. Recognized experts in the field of leadership, authors James Kouzes and Barry Posner show us that, through love, leaders can encourage, and indeed allow those around them to be their very best. Both practical and inspirational, Encouraging the Heart gives readers a thoughtful approach to motivating individuals within an organizational structure.

Getting things done in today's workplace is hard work. Employees become exhausted, frustrated, and sometimes entirely disenchanted-and often, they are tempted to simply give up. But the research conducted by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner over the last two decades clearly shows that successful leaders find ways to combat these negative feelings by encouraging the hearts of their team members. This workbook, based on the model presented in the bestselling book Encouraging the Heart, guides readers through seven essentials of encouraging the heart: set clear standards, expect the best, pay attention, personalize recognition, tell the story, celebrate together, and set the example. The authors also provide a 21-question self-assessment to help leaders determine how they are doing and where they should focus their development efforts.

A Leader's Legacy

by James M. Kouzes

Published 1 January 2006
In what is their most personal work to date, Kouzes and Posner zero in on the core challenges leaders face and offer up a thoughtful and reassuring perspective any leader, or aspiring leader, will learn from and enjoy. Over a span of nearly four hours of audio, they explore the thorny and often ambiguous issues of today's leaders through a series of 22 short essays, grouped into four parts (significance, relationships, aspirations, and courage.) The topics discussed include: Commitment: people don't commit to plans, they commit to causes; Vision: it's not the leader's vision, it's the shared vision; Solutions: there is no silver bullet; Leadership: being a leader changes who you are; and, Legacy: the legacy you leave is the life you lead. Its length is 3 hours, 53 minutes.
