El experto en psicología del liderazgo y autor best seller de Integridad, Necessary Endings, y Límites para líderes identifica el ingrediente crítico para el bienestar personal y profesional.
La mayor parte de liderazgo se enfoca en ayudar a líderes a desarrollar sus capacidades y conocimientos y cerrar las brechas en el desempeño. Esto es necesario, pero no suficiente. Utilizando evidencia de neurociencia y su trabajo con líderes, el doctor Henry Cloud demuestra que los mejores líderes se basan en otro recurso vital: relaciones personales y profesionales que potencian el crecimiento y les ayuda a superar los límites actuales.
La sabiduría popular sugiere que no debemos permitir que otras personas tengan poder sobre nosotros, pero la realidad es que lo hacen, para bien o para mal. Piensa en el jefe que te menosprecia mediante comentarios cortantes versus uno que te reta a superarte. O el colega que siempre busca el protagonismo versus el que te da la confianza para terminar un proyecto difícil. O el cónyuge que es honesto y te apoya versus el que se resiente con tu éxito. No importa cuán talentosos, inteligentes, o experimentados son los grandes líderes, todos comparten algo en común: el poder de otros en sus vidas.
Combinando estudios de caso cautivadores, resultados convincentes de investigación cerebral vanguardista, y ejemplos de su práctica de consultoría, el doctor Cloud argumenta que no importa si eres miembro de la milicia o un ejecutivo corporativo, el rendimiento sobresaliente depende de tener el tipo correcto de conexiones para potenciar el crecimiento personal y minimizar las asociaciones tóxicas y sus efectos. Al presentar un modelo dinámico del impacto que estos distintos tipos de conexiones producen, el doctor Cloud muestra a los lectores cómo obtener más de sí mismos basándose en la fuerza y la pericia de otras personas.
No puedes elejir si otros tienen o no poder en tu vida, pero puedes elegir qué tipo de relaciones deseas.
Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary, but not sufficient. Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits.

Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives.
