"In a field rich with scholarship and advice on how to be an adaptive leader, one that is capable of leading through the complex and complicated challenges arising in the workplace today, Mike has written an important prologue. He's addressed a mission-critical starting point, a first step for leaders who aspire to show up as the best versions of themselves. In Leaderfluence , Mike tackles a piece of the leadership puzzle often overlooked in other books on the subject: How should you lead yourself? How can you self-assess, calibrate, and improve yourself, such that you will show up in deliberate, considered ways that allow you to be the person you aspire to be, while optimizing the impact, performance, and output of the teams you lead? In Leaderfluence , Mike anchors his observations and advice in candid examples from his own journey, sharing the wisdom gained over a remarkable career as a senior leader across decades and diverse industries. The self-awareness, circumspection, and thoughtful approach that Mike articulates here will allow leaders at all stages in their careers to more fully realize their potential and to maximize their intentional positive influence." --Keith Enright, Chief Privacy Officer, Google.
