Recommendation

In this new age, you must do more than manage your career. You must act bravely and with “authenticity” in all social arenas. This requires developing an understanding of each social milieu that surrounds you. When you act authentically, you embrace different aspects of yourself depending on your context. Authentic leaders go beyond self-awareness to “selves awareness,” which takes discipline, application and skill. Executive coach Karissa Thacker details how to recognize and inhabit your authentic selves in her comprehensive, insightful leadership manual. She describes the journeys and transformations that develop your authenticity and includes helpful “workouts” at the close of each chapter. getAbstract recommends her methods to senior executives, managers and all professionals who would like to maximize their abilities through productive self-examination.
