What is the value of blending reason and emotion in business? Susan Ní Chríodáin believes that if we reintroduce humanity into the workplace, it will have a positive impact on people, performance, and profit. And in her well-researched book, Leading Beyond the Numbers, you'll find out how.
If the pandemic taught us anything, it is that our humanity connects us. So, why have we for generations tried to keep emotions out of the workplace? Aren't passionate, emotional people responsible for some of the greatest discoveries in the world?
The author used an easy to follow format, bolding sentences of importance, adding helpful charts, and asking thought-provoking questions. She speaks of a personal balance sheet and asks what would make up your assets and liabilities and how would you calculate your equity. She explores how the brain works and how it constantly changes throughout our lives. She talks about body budgeting and how we can't expend energy if that energy is depleted. Chríodáin talks about HeartMath, gut instinct, how your mood impacts your day, and what makes conversations difficult. Then she explores RULER, the acronym for five key emotional skills. And as she winds down her book, Chríodáin reminds readers that numbers can't do anything without people.
A helpful appendix includes key questions chapter by chapter, followed by a notes section also broken down by chapter. Further resources conclude the book.
Leading Beyond the Numbers is a fascinating read.

I downloaded a digital copy from NetGalley. This review contains my honest opinions, which I have not been compensated for in any way.
