Hinkle, PhD Director and Associate Professor, MS in Business Communication Program, Spalding University Deep Thoughts and Practical Applications for Modern Leadership Challenges You're busy, your to-do list is lengthy, and your commitment to your people and your organization is unflagging. In the midst of it all, you're seeing new trends and challenges - and you're eager to embrace fresh, proven approaches to leading, coaching, managing, developing, communicating, and innovating. That's exactly what you'll find in the pages of HOPE for Leaders Unabridged Volume 1, where authors and editors Dr. Hope Zoeller and Dr. Joe DeSensi take the best leadership topics from their popular HOPE for Leaders newsletter and dig deeper into the topics, the research, the lessons, and ultimately an invitation for the reader to take meaningful action. "The HOPE for Leaders authors share valuable insights into human behavior and leadership - grounded in theory, based on observations, and drawn from personal experience. Taking a good look at leadership through the different lenses offers in this book left me with a renewed understanding of how personal (and yet universal) leadership is. I am confident that both experienced and new leaders will find practical guidance - as well as food for thought - in this book."
