A question I often ask executive leaders is this: How often are you giving away your power in a given week?

In those moments, you are always making a choice: Are you responding in a way that creates future possibilities, or are you reacting in a way that shuts other people’s listening of you down?

Self-awareness is the capacity to notice what is happening within you and around you so you can choose your response rather than being driven by automatic reactions.

From mastering strategic thinking to leading with empathy, these titles offer wisdom worth gifting (to yourself or someone on your team).
