Merge Your Intelligence With Your Soul

by David Meyer

Leadership expert Kirstin Ferguson shows you how to combine your conscious rational skills and your soulful, reflexive understanding to be the best possible leader.

Leadership expert Kirstin Ferguson, co-author of Women Kind: Unlocking the Power of Women Supporting Women, shows you how to put both your brain and your emotions to work as a leader. She catalogs both “head” and “heart” skills and shows you how to use them and how to help those you lead to do the same.

Head Leaders

Ferguson identifies head skills as “curiosity, wisdom, perspective, and capability.” She finds that curiosity can help you become more creative, get along more smoothly with others, and put strategy to work. She warns against tendencies that can undermine curiosity, including excess efficiency, love of routine, fear of appearing ignorant, reliance on assumptions, and avoidance of testing ideas or hypotheses.
