About Leadership Starts With You - The podcast for the book

Today, managers are trained, coached and evaluated in 360-degree surveys. Many know everything about feedback rules, goal agreements and motivational mechanisms. Does that make them excellent leaders? Usually not, because a message that only reaches the head and does not reach the heart does little. Leadership involves the whole person, and people love good stories. So what could be more natural than conveying leadership excellence in the form of a gripping story? Whitney Breer, international management coach and experienced trainer, has been guiding leaders around the world for 25 years. She achieves the feat of a business novel that packs the current state of research on self-leadership, leadership communication, teams, project management, and other building blocks of leadership success into a story that is as entertaining as it is impressive. Before Kathleen, an ambitious but less than emphatic executive, is entrusted with the management of the family farm machinery business, her father sends her on a journey around the world. On this journey, which takes her from Lafayette, Indiana, to Bangalore, Stockholm, Sao Paulo, New Zealand and back to the States, Kathleen learns a lot about herself and about the secret of true leadership excellence.The insights and empirical values of her international sparring partners are underpinned by insights from business psychology. The result is the PRISM model of leadership, which compactly covers all facets of successful leadership. Each chapter concludes with a brief overview that managers can use to reflect on and apply the core messages for themselves. And indeed, you can learn a lot about your own leadership mission from an Indian start-up and a lot about leadership failure from the sinking of the warship Vasa during its maiden voyage in 1628.In this blog, Whitney Breer guides you through her book, the PRISM model, and the theoretical background of positive psychology.
