An essential blueprint for designing a vibrant, cutting-edge organization—leading from love, not fear.

  • Reenergize your organization’s purpose
  • Enhance employee engagement and experience
  • Develop a purpose-centered strategy and culture

"A must-read for leaders at all levels who want to move beyond fear-based beliefs to create teams and organizations shaped by purpose. A great resource for those in search of meaning at work in the twenty-first century."

Dr. Tasha Eurich, principal of the The Eurich Group; New York Times best-selling author of INSIGHT and Bankable Leadership; and proud member of the Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches Project

"The Evolved Executive provides a thoughtful and provocative blueprint for the future of leadership and organizations. A must-read for any enlightened leader."

Jandel T. Allen-Davis, MD Physician Executive

"This book is a must-read for any leader or executive who comes to work daily knowing there is a better and more purpose-derived way to serve the people who serve our patients and other customers. The quiet and not-so-quiet desperation for a path that is absent from today's disconnected workplaces is the subject of this book. It is written with heart from a leader with a heart...who has seen this type of leadership done well and also lived through and alongside the opposite. It is my hope that this practical body of work will become the way we lead and that we will do so unabashedly and even proudly. It will make a difference in our health: mind, body, and soul."
