Thanks for your encouraging words. I’m chipping away at a new book about this topic. Just fyi, you might also like Parker Palmer’s new book on the importance of heart for democracies to flourish.

Best wishes,
Mike

Truly excellent post.I’m pleased that the phrase/idea ‘don’t wear your heart on your sleeve’ is now being challenged and surprisingly by men.Women have been directly or subtly reminded not to show much emotion when climbing the corporate ladder.They work against nature and their own feminity just to prove they are equally good leader in their own natural way.

Just through reading this article, I believe there will be a big shift of mindset, especially back to being what ‘feels’ right, treating human as human no matter what their given title at the workplace is.

Thank you so much Michael! Look forward to own your book!

Nice post. The salient point seems to be to remain true to yourself. Behar had the conviction that his style wasn’t broken and that another company would be a better fit for him. Then he made a decision that was life-changing… for him and his employees!

Great thoughts on building a connected culture at work — and how amazingly successful CEOs act. I am working my way though Fired Up now!
