Total Leadership

Stewart D. Friedman – faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and director of the Leadership Development Center at Ford Motor Company – helps you improve your performance in four “domains”: “work, home, community and self.” He asserts that when you identify your core values and align your actions with these values, you can achieve harmony in all areas of your life and excel as a leader. His book is a take-home version of the Total Leadership program and workshop he developed and teaches at Wharton.

“Total Leadership”

Friedman laments that many people believe that excelling in one area of life means sacrificing in other areas. He cites CEOs who seek more time with their children and stay-at-home parents who believe their careers are over. This lack of integration leaves people unfulfilled, resentful and guilty. Friedman’s Total Leadership approach addresses these conflicts by providing tools to strengthen all four life domains.
