About the book
The Self-Aware Leader is a practical framework for professional reinvention. Reinvention teaches leaders to look forward and anticipate evolving leadership practices rather than simply reacting to the peaks and valleys of professional life.
This presence of strong self-awareness teaches leaders to be intentional as means of creating both value and purpose. Leaders know why they want to reinvent and how it will add more value.
SAL teaches leaders to be proactive in order to identify opportunity – you see what you need before you actually need it. Learn more about the SAL model here.
“There are many different types of leaders, but the successful ones know themselves well. This book teaches leaders how to become more self-aware and balance the human and business sides of leadership.”
Steve Burke, former Chairman and CEO

Many other books have focused their attention on getting leaders to reinvent their approaches and styles for better results. Others have taken on the topic of servant leadership or business transformation as a pathway to this better result.
This book fully presents a comprehensive model that teaches all leaders (and specifically middle managers) how to achieve professional reinvention. Readers will learn of a new mental framework for leadership and build a specific plan for putting this new mindset into daily practice.
This book also has several profound activities embedded including two favorites focused on Professional Authenticity and Generosity Quotient®.
“This book is filled with practical advice and examples that directly translate into actions each of us can take that will make a difference. This is the ideal companion if have a desire to become a more effective leader and you are willing to self-reflect and change.”
