About Our Book
Any emotionally traumatic event will cause a person to grieve
These events can be personal such as a divorce, a significant illness diagnosis, or the death of a loved one.
However, the workplace can also be the source of such events. Think about the dynamics of an organizational restructure, closing facilities, cultural transformations, or work redesign.
Grief and change go hand in hand
Some may call it stress or burnout, but in reality, it is the emotions of grief playing out and impacting the person, the team, and the organization.
What started as a project quickly turned into a passion and then a mission for Anthony and Guy. The Dying Art of Leadership is the only leadership book dedicated to addressing how leaders can, and should, help grieving, and emotionally traumatized employees excel at work.
In this book, leaders will:
- Learn about adapting their leadership style to meet all employees “where they are” in their development
- Learn how grief impacts the performance and potential of an employee and how to mitigate the potential productivity losses that grief, or any emotionally traumatic event, can inflict on a person, team, function, or even an entire organization
- Learn about the types of loss a person can experience and how the depth of the relationship and modality of the loss impacts their emotional state and level of grief
- Learn about the grief process to better understand the effects grief has on a person
The Dying Art of Leadership is a practical guide to tackling one of the most awkward leadership challenges-one that no one likes talking about and isn't taught in any other leadership programs-to for the benefit of the employees and the company.
Grief is the elephant in the room.
