Heart-Led Leadership
Based on New York Times, Wall Street Journal & Amazon bestselling book, The Heart-Led Leader
18 Inches is the distance from your head to your heart. Such a short distance, yet most leaders never take the journey. Leaders and organizations that lead with their hearts are more successful and achieve better results than those that don’t. In Tommy’s keynote he shows that love and results are not opposites, they are two sides of the same coin. It is not love or results – it is love-driven results. If you love what you do, if you love the people you do it with, if you love your culture, if you love your mission, if you love your team, if you love your customers- you will achieve better results.
Heart-led leadership transcends numbers and spreadsheets. It is more sustainable and more rewarding. During this keynote, Tommy teaches that defining your leadership philosophy is one of the most important steps you can take as a leader and as an organization and for your life.
