“I have coached hundreds of CEO’s over 25 years and have witnessed firsthand the importance of self-care in the midst of high-pressure environments. It is high time we have a book that tackles this problem head-on. The 11th Habit gives leaders practical advice about how to design a high-performance culture while ensuring the well-being of their employees. It is possible to build your organization without sacrificing the health, happiness, and security of yourself or your employees. Every leader should put this on their ‘must-read’ list of books.”
