Publisher's summary

In this short, easy-to-listen fable, best-selling author Mark Miller reveals five habits that underlie leadership character and that determine a leader's success - and he teaches leaders how to develop these habits.

Like Miller's previous books, this one follows the life, learning, and influence of Debbie Bruster. Here she finds herself mentoring Blake Brown, the son of her former mentor. Rather than answer Blake's questions about leadership directly, Debbie introduces him to other leaders, each of whom shares a unique perspective on what really makes a leader successful. As Blake puts the pieces together, he discovers his problem is not one of skills but of character - that leadership is more about the heart of the leader than the head or hands. In fact, Miller summarized these traits with the acronym HEART: Hunger for Wisdom, Expect the Best, Accept Responsibility, Respond with Courage, and Think Others First.

With the help of his new friends and mentors, Blake is able to build a plan to transform his heart. The good news is that leadership is not just the purview of the few - it is within reach for millions of aspiring leaders around the world.

This book is the road map they need to get their lives and careers on track.

Clear with examples and heartfull

This is a book that should be shared and read by all especially at high school level to help young people develop into the best they can be. It sums up so much more than being a " company leader".

Wow. This was eye opening!

I honestly didn't have super high expectations as the other leadership book I read seem more theoretical than practical. This was what I was looking for!

Changed my Heart

When I started reading, I didn't like how it was a conversation( the whole book) but as I reached the second chapter, I started seeing why it was like that. I look forward to talking about it to friends and co workers. A really good quick read.
