We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

It can feel like a rigged game. Executives set impossible goals, so managers drive their teams to burnout trying to deliver. Employees demand connection and support, so managers focus on relationships and fail to make the numbers. The fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement, and not just among team members - two-thirds of managers report being disengaged.

In the world of work, the single greatest asset of successful individuals, teams, and organizations is their mindset - what happens in between their ears. It's not the corporate strategy, the sales compensation plan, or the market segments they're pursuing. It is what each leader, team member, and employee chooses to focus on, to believe, and to create for themselves and others.

Running a business should be exciting and rewarding, not a burden. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs fall into the daily grind of stamping out fires and doing everything themselves because they’ve unknowingly become their own best employee and the bottleneck of their business. Do questions, decisions, and problems always funnel their way back to you? Has your business become a revolving door for employees or the permanent residence for under-performers? Are you tired of burning the candle at both ends and not living life on your terms?

Publisher's Summary
How do you build the career and life you want - especially with chaos swirling around you, throwing out roadblocks at every turn. Only when you understand that the world isn't set up to optimize, can you begin the journey to uncover your best and lead your life with intention. Bottom line: life is the ultimate experience model. You don't come with an operating manual that tells you how to be your best. You just have to figure it out to find the things that work. And the discovery is never done. You have to stay engaged, curious, and willing to admit you don't know everything, so you can learn more to be your best. Dedicating yourself to the lifelong discipline of practice outlined in Grounded allows you to see what works and most importantly stay in tune with what grounds you at every turn of your journey.
The questions change as people move through their lives. In their 20s, people wonder where to begin. In their 30s, people wonder if they are headed in the right direction. In their 40s, they may begin to wonder if this is all there is. And in their 50s and beyond, they wonder what should happen in the next chapter. This notion of being grounded isn't about age, it's about attitude. Your life will have impact. Choices will be made. Grounded is dedicated to building the skill so you decide, not someone else. Your life is simply too important to leave it to chance. And if you choose to lead others, Grounded is dedicated to inspiring others to be their best because you have done the work to understand how to lead first yourself and now others.

Loved this book!
I really enjoyed listening to this book!
As a young professional interior designer building my business and growing my clientele basis, I took tons of notes as to how I can create even better experiences and expectations for my clients. Coming from a different design background than my co-workers, I always struggled with not fitting into their typical sales mold. After reflecting on how I do things very differently I realized how this is actually my greatest asset. Grounded gave me the much needed confidence to learn, un-learn and re-learn what works for me or how to reach a goal. I know these key teachings will continue to project my career forward.
As my clientele builds and projects come in faster than I can work on them, navigating work/life balance I’m finding is also a challenge. Nancy’s advice reminds me that my time spent alway from work is what really defines me. Truly living my best life will bring success to all areas of my being.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to live with intention and/or build their career.
