Become the leader who encourages your team to greatness

Getting extraordinary things done in organizations is hard work. To maintain the sparks of hope and determination, you as a leader must be able to motivate your team with appreciation, courage, and hope.

Designed to work within the context of The Encouraging the Heart Workshop or as a self-study guide, The Encouraging the Heart Workbook, from bestselling leadership experts Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner helps you understand the seven essentials of Encouraging the Heart and then develop within yourself the qualities of a true leader—one who recognizes your people's contributions, celebrates their values and victories, and "Encourages the Heart" of your team to achieve superior results.
