Aprašymas

Whether powerfully good or dispiritingly bad, the bosses and leaders we encounter can have an enormous impact on our overall performance and the quality of our workday. However, they can also have a profound effect on the rest of our lives, and on the lives of each of our family members.

In his candid, thought-provoking autobiography, David H. Swendsen draws from his own experiences with authority figures to share invaluable insights on what makes a good leader. Leadership in Our Lives examines just how important those key individuals have been in the world seemingly beyond that person's reach. From his first encounters with teachers, coaches, and employers to examples from US Air Force days and as a Special Agent for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the author offers a rare examination of how these relationships contribute to immediate and residual stresses, accomplishments, and failures.

Throughout many of his interactions with leaders, Swendsen also explores their impact on the well-being of his special lady, Jackie. The result is an arresting and probing look at this all-important, universal topic to ensure that the leadership in our lives, and in the lives of our loved ones, is as healthy, productive, and as meaningful as possible.
