If you and your organization are ready for change, No More Status Quo will give you clear, easy-to-use skills and tools to open your thinking, adapt your work behavior, and get more impactful results right away.

Lead smarter. A handbook for your brain at work.High pressure. High conflict. High stress. Today, too many leaders believe that these states are not just natural, but inevitable. Nothing could be further from the truth.Using his skills as a medical doctor and his knowledge from many years in executive positions in the biotech pharmaceutical industry, in Five Brain Leadership, executive coach Carlos Davidovich walks you through the latest breakthroughs in the burgeoning fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and cognitive behavior to help you better understand your multilayered, magical mind, and how to work with it instead of against it in leading your team and building relationships. Neuromanagement is at the intersection of neuroscience and daily life in the business world. It is leadership that is based on a full understanding of all five of our interlocking brains-our reptilian, emotional, rational, and, yes, even our heart and gut "brains." Through practical tools and exercises, you'll learn how to build your capacity in each of these control centers, and to recognize all the ways they are at play in how humans operate, interrelate, and react to change. Five-Brain Leadership is your pathway toward turning good leadership into great leadership, and reaching new levels of success in all of life's domains.

Discover the power of whole and integrated leadership We tend to think of our lives as being split between the professional and the personal-believing that in order to lead successfully, we must separate our roles at work and at home. But managing two divided identities exhausts us and derails our ability to be effective, skillful leaders in all the spheres we inhabit. In this ground-breaking book, therapist, consultant, coach, and family enterprise advisor Deena Chochinov shows you how to integrate your professional and personal selves to show up whole, in both places. Drawing on her more than thirty years of experience working with families, private companies, public organizations, and family businesses, Chochinov uses client and patient case studies, lessons, and activities to help you strengthen your leadership. You'll learn the eight essential qualities of whole and integrated leadership, and how to develop and apply them for greater impact-whether you're leading staff, directing a board, working with family members, or parenting children. As you make the paradigm shift to whole-person leadership, you'll experience the joys of psychological congruence and stability, and a fuller integration of your undivided, messy, textured, complex, and beautifully appointed self. After all, leadership isn't just about what you do-it's about how you show up. You can have success at work and harmony at home . . . being the exact same person.
