 An absolute "must read AND heed" for every leader! June 3, 1999
Scores of books have been written that preach The Golden Rule--and corporate America has largely turned a deaf ear. Why? Because while these works correctly hypothesized that encouragement should cause performance increases, they lacked the "punch" of hard data to back up that assertion.pNow comes Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner to the rescue! Case studies involving real people, not management superheroes. Reams of data, extracted superbly to reinforce the theme. Any leader who is satisfied with the performance of his or her organization, and chooses to ignore their message is courting danger on two fronts. First, they are leaving a huge amount of untapped potential for their competition to devour. Second, they will experience organizational decay at some point--and wonder why!pEncouraging the heart is a fast read, and it's easy to assimilate its principles into a leader's daily life. I used their concepts for 24 years in a military environment--they work. Now my clients reap the same benefit.pJim and Barry--tremendous job!pJohn Katchka, BlueSky Leadership

This book will touch your heart and your mind, which is where every leader must learn to work from to truly be a leader-- to "walk the talk" with integrity and to inspire others to take action and to want to follow you. pEncouraging The Heart is one of the five key leadership practices presented in the Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner both leaders and experts in this field. Encouraging the Heart is more than a set of skills. It is a way of being and valuing, a perspective that moves leadership from the left side of the brain to a combination of mind of heart. This encouraging of the heart is also one of the most difficult leadership practices to "walk" and "talk". Kouzes and Posner acknowledge this difficulty and the vulnerability entailed in adopting and enacting this way of leadership at work and at home. pEncouraging the Heart goes beyond a simplistic "just do it" to show us how to REALLY do it-- to encourage the hearts of self and others. This newest book of Kouzes and Posner is powerful because it provides realistic ways to enact and live the principle of leadership. These changes can be a springboard for enhancing effectiveness in their other four practices of leadership-- "Challenging the Process, Inspiring a Shared Vision, Enabling Others to Act, and Modeling the Way." I suggest a standing ovation and shouts of "encore" for Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner so that we may encourage their hearts to give us four more books, one on each of the other leadership practices on which they have enlightened us. Thank you and Bravo!
