\"Leadership strategies grounded in reality and focused on results. Recent polls show that 71% of workers think about quitting their jobs every day. That number would be shocking-if people actually were quitting. Worse, they go to work, punching time clocks and collecting pay checks, while completely checked out emotionally. In Reality-Based Leadership, expert Fast Company blogger Cy Wakeman reveals how to be the kind of leader who changes the way people think about and perceive their circumstances-one who deals with the facts, clarifies roles, gives clear and direct feedback, and insists that everyone do the same-without drama or defensiveness.

Life's messy, live happy : things don't have to be perfect for you to be content
\"A simple shift in thinking can change everything you believe about your own happiness. By the time we become adults, most of us have joined the religion of suffering, which preaches that unless circumstances are controlled, life will be a mess. We compare ourselves to others and speculate about an impossible-to-know future, holding out hope for an improved life through getting ahead, fulfilling passion, or finding true love. But the idea that happiness comes from putting effort toward altering one's circumstances is harmful and backward. What if we instead learned to understand that circumstances can rarely be controlled, and that life is, and always will be, messy? From that starting point, we could learn to use our minds to create happiness despite life's ever-changing circumstances and events. Life's Messy, Live Happy by Cy Wakeman is about dramatically changing the level of happiness you feel in your daily life, by learning to disconnect happiness from external forces, stop worrying about the future, and realize that most of your negative feelings are about things that never even happened. Wakeman is a credible, relatable teacher-a business owner, mother, and community member who has lived her philosophy and achieved profound happiness and success in a crazy, messy life. Filled with concrete daily practices and true stories that are hilarious, painful, and poignant, this book will change everything: your perspective, your focus, and your energy level for everyday life\"-- Provided by publisher.

PRIMED for CHANGE
[...]change is so constant and dominant that I now hear from people who say their companies cannot keep up with the pace of change, and their employees seem to be suffering. A 2019 Center for Creative Leadership study found that change fatigue is one of the top two challenges leaders face, and other surveys have found that change initiatives flounder because companies lack the skills to sustain change over time. If companies want to stay competitive, they must stop worrying about whether their employees are comfortable with the pace of change and instead drive their employees' development in a way that gives the organizations the ability they need to make change work for the business. Would you be surprised to know that, on average, a leader will spend 80 extra hours a year thinking about and working with a single person who's in a state of chronic resistance?

Close the door on what you think you know about leadership
Leaders are still subscribing to many things they have been told over the years -- even though the world around them has changed and those adages have stopped producing good results. Now is the time to question the concepts and ideas that are hindering results. Leaders have resistant employees because they hold the mindsets that it is impossible not to. Leaders incorrectly deduce that people should be able to approach them with anything they have on their minds. Recognition is good, but only when you tell employees when they do a good job and when they do something that's not so great. Leaders haven't changed the way they manage so they can be effective with the next generation. Positive psychology asserts that happiness is correlated to taking personal accountability for circumstances, thriving in given circumstances, not necessarily having cushy circumstances. The work climate is a reflection of your leadership. Make it a drama-free, peaceful, and successful place to work.
