The Journey of Not Knowing

Autor Julie Benezet Editat de Gail Kearns
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2016
The Journey of Not Knowing is a fast paced, entertaining read that gets to the heart of a critical state in today's business climate and society overall: the constantly changing, ambiguous 21st Century and the uncharted waters ahead. This book will inspire leaders of any size organization to come to grips with the scariness of the unknown while it advances a new approach to leadership that leverages the discomfort of the new as a powerful source of inspiration rather than a deterrent to building a better future. Written by former Amazon executive, coach and lawyer Julie Benezet, the book combines storytelling, business experience and human psychology to create a roadmap through the ambiguity of building something better in the context of the realities of humans in organizational life. The book tells a story of a day in the life at Arrow, Inc., a fictional company. It follows the defended behaviors throughout that day of its eight very recognizable leadership team members as they work first to avoid and then finally to solve the mystery of why a client fired them. The reward of the discovery is a critical piece of new business and substantial personal growth. To get there, each of team members must face their past, present and future. The memorable characters in the book are persons with whom the readers may cringingly identify. The book creates a framework them to confront their own resistance to change, and tools to start them on their way toward pursuing new possibilities for their lives once they can confront and embrace the scariness of the unknown. The author opens the book with a description of an experience at Amazon that led to her belief about leadership and the unknown. It ends with a primer on the Journey of Not Knowing leadership model, using the Arrow story to illustrate its principles. The Journey of Not Knowing forms the core of a leadership program that been attended by executives from around the world over the past five years. (www.journeyofnotknowing.com)

Notă biografică

Pursuing dreams has molded Julie Benezet's life. As a self-described hard wired entrepreneur she spent 25 years in law and business navigating the unknown to put into place the dreams of others as well as her own. Julie has devoted her professional life to building companies, real estate and careers. She currently works as an executive coach, author and leader of The Journey of Not Knowing leadership program (www.journeyofnotknowing.com). Julie earned her greatest stripes for navigating the unknown when she spent four years as Amazon's first real estate executive through the company's early steep ramp up phase to its emergence as an established business. Before joining Amazon.com, Julie poured her energy into growing management and real estate consulting companies whose clients ranged from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups and working as a finance lawyer in New York and Seattle.  Julie led for 10 years the "Challenges of Leadership" program for executives at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. She speaks on the challenges of building companies in the 21st Century, and has appeared in numerous publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Office & Industrial Properties and Corporate Real Estate Strategies.  She lives in Ashland, Oregon with her husband, garden, jazz albums and two orange cats.
