From the Publisher:

"If you want to find a genuine mystic, you are more likely to find one in a boardroom than in a monastery or a cathedral." With this provocative opening, corporate consultants Gay Hendricks and Kate Ludeman introduce the "visionaries with their feet on the ground" who will be the most successful business leaders of the 21st century.

In an engaging, easy-to-read format, The Corporate Mystic combines pithy advice, memorable quotations and enlightening true examples drawn from interviews with more than 45 executives.

From how to make meetings more interesting to handling office affairs, from "high-firing" to turning failures into breakthroughs, it offers spirited solutions to everyday business problems based on actual case histories from today's corporate mystics. It shows how to tap the power of integrity, vision and intuition to provide creative leadership at every level--from the C.E.O. to the newest employee.

From the Inside Flap:

Who will succeed in the twenty first century?

Today's creative business leaders already know the answer and it's not about cutting overhead downsizing or meeting next quarter's budget.  Corporate
leaders of the twenty-first century will be spiritual leaders-- grounded in vision, integrity and intuition--and they will know how to nurture these
qualities in others.

Gay Hendricks and Kate Ludeman have been training top executives for more than twenty-five years.  They have distilled the experience of the hundred wisest
businessmen and women they know into nuggets of just-in-time wisdom that take no more than a minute or two to read.  You will discover:

*       The twelve qualities of twenty-first-century leaders

*       How to make breakthrough decisions with intuitive ease

*       The visionary's ability to think twenty years down the line

*       How to spot and correct integrity problems in your organization

*       How to create a mind-set of prosperity in yourself and your company

Drawing on insights and observations from legendary CEOs like Bob Galvin ofMotorola and Ed McCracken of Silicon Graphics, The Corporate Mystic also
offers spirited solutions to the day-in, day-out problems of business.  You'll learn what these visionaries with their feet on the ground say about:

*       Giving and receiving honest feedback

*       Ending destructive turf battles

*       High-firing people who drain your energy

*       Handling big wins and big losses

*       Protecting your creative think-time

*       And much much more.

Whether you're a new hire or already division chief The Corporate Mystic is a book to nourish your soul and light your path to professional
success.
