by Hortense Le Gentil (Author), Caroline Lambert (With)
The most effective leaders are "human leaders: " leading with empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity. But many still adhere to the outdated myth that leaders must be "superhero leaders: infallible, unflappable, and fearless." Tragically, their innate ability to inspire remains locked within, blunting their impact.
In The Unlocked Leader veteran executive leadership coach Hortense le Gentil combines real life stories, rigorous research, and practical tools to explain how superhero leaders can become effective human leaders. You'll discover:
- How to identify the mental obstacles that stand between you and leadership authenticity, and sap your energy and impact - your mindtraps.
- How to confront your fears and escape those traps by operating a mindshift.
- Practical strategies to better connect with yourself and others - a mindbuild.
The journey from superhero leader to human leader not only transforms the lives of leaders themselves - both at work and beyond. It also makes a profound and lasting difference in the lives of people around them and the organizations they lead. This is how human leaders make an impact and shine their light in the world: by changing the way they connect with themselves and other people, they start a chain reaction that reverberates throughout their organizations and beyond them, because we are all part of interconnected networks of human relationships.
An indispensable leadership manual for people who wish to lead not just with their heads, but with their heart and soul as well, The Unlocked Leader belongs on the bookshelves of leaders and aspiring leaders at all levels looking for a fresh new perspective on effective, powerful leadership in service of something bigger than themselves.

Today's employees are more disconnected and burnt out than ever--despite the often heroic efforts on the part of leaders at all levels to motivate and engage them. It's tempting to blame outside factors like technology and the economy. But the truth is, leaders intrinsically have what they need to transform this situation. In The Unlocked Leader, Hortense le Gentil reveals the secret--leaders need to become less heroic, and more human--and tells how we can do that.
Combining real life stories, rigorous research, and practical tools, le Gentil concretely walks us through how to identify the mental obstacles that stand between us and leadership authenticity, and sap our energy and impact--our mindtraps; how to confront our fears and escape those traps by operating a mindshift; and practical strategies to better connect with ourself and others--through a mindbuild.
