Synopsis

You’re in the middle of everything. You are a boss. You have a boss. And being in the thick of it at work—dealing with change while leading your boss and your team through it—can be difficult and exhausting. It can also be deeply rewarding.

In the Thick of It takes you on a journey of awareness, growth, and purpose to help you become the kind of leader who delivers results while valuing every human being, engendering trust and loyalty, and bringing out the best in others and yourself.

With a lighthearted, humorous, and self-deprecating style, Teatro explores choosing to lead, changing the narrative, and leading with purpose. She cracks the “lack of communication” myth, identifies the pitfalls that hinder effective communication, and challenges the misleading warm glow of inclusion surrounding the word “team.”

You’ll learn how to confront change—including by leading your boss—and navigate planned versus unplanned change while incorporating autonomy, mastery, purpose, innovation, and creativity into your leadership toolkit.

Failures, bumps, and potholes are all part of the shift from what is to what can be. From your place in the middle, there is opportunity to expand your horizons and create more productive and satisfying spaces where people are not simply cogs in a wheel, but individuals searching for purpose.

You are a leader in the middle of it all. You want to encourage others to do, and be, their best and accomplish something meaningful for yourself and others.

In the Thick of It will show you how.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Gwyn Teatro started her career in the mailroom of a large financial institution in Toronto, Ontario. At the tender age of eighteen, her education as a student of human nature was to begin there, as she sat between two middle-aged Scottish veterans, Dave McNeillie and Eddie Killen. There she opened letters and listened to their opinions about the leadership skills of various managers to whom they delivered mail. Dave and Eddie also taught her more than she needed to know about "the language profane." But, over the ensuing years, even that has had its useful moments.Today, Gwyn is a Certified Professional Coach with a Master of Science degree in management. She has spent the bulk of her career as an HR professional in the financial services industry where she coached senior business leaders and groups on leadership, organizational effectiveness, and strategic business planning. Active on social media and an award-winning blogger on HR and leadership trends and issues, Gwyn has learned a lot about building, that is, building relationships, building bridges, building alliances, and building credibility.
