Deliberate Calm

How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World

De: Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, Michiel Kruyt

Narrado por: Samantha Desz

A trio of McKinsey & Company veterans draws from a unique combination of psychology, neuroscience, and consciousness practices plus a combined 50-plus years of international board room experience to offer a unique approach to learning and leading with awareness and intentional choice, even amidst the most challenging circumstances.

As the speed of change in our increasingly complex world accelerates daily, leaders are tasked with performing outside of their familiar zones both in their personal and professional lives. This requires us to adapt. Yet, the same conditions that make adapting so important can also trigger fear, leading us to resist change and default to reactive behavior. The authors call this the “adaptability paradox”: when we most need to learn and change, we stick with what we know, often in ways that stifle learning and innovation. To avoid this trap, leaders must become proactive so they can lead ahead of the curve.

Enter Deliberate Calm, a tangible guide that combines cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, and consciousness practices, along with the authors’ decades of experience working with leaders around the globe. By practicing Dual Awareness, which integrates our internal and external experiences, leaders can become fluid and respond to challenges with intentional choice instead of being limited by their old success models. With Deliberate Calm, anyone can lead and learn with awareness and choice to realize their full potential, even in times of uncertainty, complexity, and change.

Really insightful and also practical

The examples in the book made the points from author clearer and relevant. I paused several times and reflected my behavior and impact during our Dailey business interactions. The awareness of triggers and how your awareness level evolves over practice really help to set up intentional goals and improve over times. Very helpful.

Excellent!

If you only listen to one book on leadership this year, this should be it! Excellent content and narration.
