Rippee lays out his relationship with the author and shares his personal insight into the value of what is to come next. A Heart for Leadership first articulates why heart and emotional power are needed for success. Your decisions become clearer, stress is reduced, focus intensifies, and people are more willing to work with you and support your vision. Author Tim Schneider also provides great guidance about the symptoms that show up, telling you that your heart needs some work. Many times, we are not even aware that we are limiting our abilities and successes because of drains on our emotional composition.Before unlocking, and in some cases healing the power of our heart, we must get a full and complete understanding of who we are. Unlocking the works that simply tell you to “dig deep and find yourself”, A Heart for Leadership provides the tools and steps needed to do just that. Schneider talks about this being one of the primary motivations for writing this book in that not a lot of specific guidance was available on this subject. The ingredients for deeper self-awareness include understanding your motivations, projections, influencers, patterns, and emotional composition. Schneider breaks new ground in these areas and challenges readers to look deeply into some often-overlooked elements that impact success, and how to really gauge where our emotions are at. Schneider moves the science significantly forward in unlocking the power of the heart in a straightforward and easy to understand direction.A Heart for Leadership guides readers through a 40-day process to break through limitations that hinder happiness and success and build a consistent approach to using emotional power in our everyday lives. Beginning with the simple steps of making a time investment, acquiring a few simple items, and selecting a space for our work, the book never assumes and always provides the needed steps and details.Using some wry humor, the book jumps into meditation and some of the stigmas that exist about the practice. Citing successful people who meditate and explaining what you won’t become is a significant part of this section. Schneider provides realistic guidance on meditation, beginning with the baby steps and continuing through more advanced practices.The practical guidance continues with building a genuine gratitude practice and the superpower associated with it. A consistent theme throughout the 40-day journey to unlocking emotional composition and your heart is growing and evolving gratitude. From there, Schneider gives readers more tools including forgiveness, giving, having fun, removing judgment, and creating intention and purpose. Each practice is explained in detail and includes the instructional steps to implement these heart-powering tools.A Heart for Leadership concludes with a 40-day and beyond guide to help you achieve the amazing power of your emotions and heart. This section is invaluable as it brings all the prior narratives together in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format. Follow the advice and road map and become awestruck at what you were missing in your life.Schneider concludes with a bit about his own journey, including the incredible ups and dark downs that drove him to engage these practices.
