Leading by empathy

More than just a leadership guide; A Test for our Time is a journey into the soul of effective management. Stephen Tang blends the principles of empathy, intentionality, and spirituality to paint a new paradigm for modern leaders. This isn't about controlling; it's about understanding. By embracing various work styles and adapting to them, one doesn't merely manage a team but inspires and elevates it. The focus on 'sensemaking' provides the tools needed to make smarter, more aligned decisions. A must-read for anyone in a leadership role, whether in a corporation or in life.
