In his book\u00a0<em>Authentic Leadership<\/em>\u00a0he claims tapping\u00a0employees&#8217;\u00a0&#8220;passions and their desires to make a difference through their work&#8221; is what has enabled great companies like Procter &amp; Gamble, Microsoft, Dell, 3M, and J&amp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.CoachCert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Picture16.jpg\" alt=\"Leading With Heart\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Picture16.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Picture16-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Picture16-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Picture16-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>J to sustain growth even during down markets.<\/p>\n<p>Yet companies can&#8217;t expect to tap into their employees&#8217; passions and desires without leaders in touch with their hearts. The research HeartMath has done shows the heart contains intelligence. Many of my clients comment on how powerful it is to visualize connecting their head and heart before making decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Rosen, in his book\u00a0<em>Grounded: How Leaders Stay Rooted In An Uncertain World<\/em>, says &#8220;The best way for you to inspire passion and performance in others is first by aligning your own head and heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leadership is an interesting role to play; leaders are responsible for the work of their team and\u00a0guiding their employees to\u00a0make\u00a0sure they have the resources to thrive and\u00a0do their jobs well. Sometimes it feels like a leader&#8217;s\u00a0hands are tied since they can&#8217;t dive in and do the work for their employees. In working with\u00a0many leaders over the past few years, I&#8217;ve heard how they are able make a true difference for their teams by leading with heart.<\/p>\n<p>After all, what kind of legacy do we want to create? What do we want to be remembered for when we&#8217;re gone? The great financial success of our company or the way we made a difference for those who work for us? How about both? Leading with heart makes this possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ConsciousSuccess1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ConsciousSuccess1\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Jacqueline Brodnitzki, President, Conscious Success The best leaders lead with their heart more than their brain.
