Summary

From one of the world's preeminent leadership coaches, an insightful, indispensable guide to effective leadership.

For the first time, leadership expert Jeffrey Hull shares the secrets, strategies, and science underlying his and his clients' successes. Interweaving real-life stories with practical tips and the latest evidence-based research, he equips listeners with the insights they need to thrive in today's world.

We are in the age of the postheroic leader. Once, to move up the corporate ladder and succeed at the top, you simply had to set goals, motivate the troops, delegate to underlings, and groom a successor - probably one who looked and behaved just like you. But this white knight has become an anachronism. Whether a person is 25 or 50, if they're leading a team now, chances are that they're managing a kaleidoscope of people from a variety of cultures, across a range of ages, all of whom are wired together 24/7. These changing demographics and structures have led to a seismic shift in terms of the tools needed to successfully manage and grow within a company: Charisma and strategic thinking abilities now matter less than qualities such as vulnerability and relatability.

Based on his popular classes with Harvard Medical School physicians and New York University business students, Hull has identified the six key elements that leaders in this new workplace need to succeed, known as F.I.E.R.C.E.: Flexibility, Intentionality, Emotional Intelligence, Realness, Collaboration, and Engagement. From start-ups to universities to Fortune 500 companies, he's been able to help leaders across the board develop the skill sets that have advanced their careers and won them accolades.

Includes a PDF with leadership self-assessments.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Flex is a tour de force combining the art and science that makes for great leadership. With real-life stories, the latest science, and actionable strategies, this book is like a great coach: helping leaders up their game to a whole new level of success." (Marshall Goldsmith, number one New York Times best-selling author of Triggers, Mojo, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There)

"Finally, a highly readable book that brings the science of effective leadership down from the Ivy tower into the real world! In Flex, Jeff's engaging stories about the struggles - and triumphs - of real-life leaders, not just famous CEOs, make it clear that anyone, truly anyone, can become the agile leader the world sorely needs today." (Susan David, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Emotional Agility)

“A world-class workout to strengthen the muscles of adaptive leadership - developing the powers of mind, body, and spirit to become the leaders the world needs now. As with all great coaches, Jeff embodies the skills and capacities he asks us to develop. With a series of in-depth exercises and compelling stories, he encourages us to assess our capacities as leaders and commit to working out with as much discipline and focus as we do at the gym.” (Margaret J. Wheatley, best-selling author of Leadership and the New Science and Who Do We Choose to Be?)
