The Leadership Dojo: Build Your Foundation as an Exemplary Leader
by Richard Strozzi-Heckler —
Describing leadership as both a role and a way of life, the author provides an alternative to the glut of quick-fix motivational books that are becoming all too familiar.
He shares the same teachings he has brought to Fortune 500 executives, top-ranked military leaders and social entrepreneurs — a unique blend of martial arts mastery with time-tested business strategies that have worked for tens of thousands of clients.
Based on the increasingly popular bodywork method of somatics (a unity of language, action, energy and meaning), Strozzi-Heckler provides an innovative approach to leadership that allows practitioners to take new actions that increase trust, motivation and effectiveness in their organization.
In addition, to help you learn about leadership, each chapter includes sets of “practices” that serve as simple, everyday strategies for incorporating this methodology into one’s life.
The book combines the precision of the military with a set of spiritual and mental practices that allows the reader to develop lifelong leadership skills.
