Former Grupo Bimbo Executive, Visionary Food Industry Leader Releases Practical Guide to Cultivating Effective Leadership
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (PRWEB) September 10, 2018 -- A longtime innovator in the global food industry has released his accessible and engaging roadmap to becoming a truly impactful leader through the development of a personal and professional mission and vision and consistent reinforcement of strong values and clear communication.
In “Balanced Leadership: A Pragmatic Guide for Leading,” author Leonard W. Heflich draws on his four-decades-plus career in the food industry and his own experience turning around a large, failing manufacturing facility to encourage readers to dream about the future they want. Ultimately, Heflich aims to provide his audience with the necessary tools to become flexible leaders who can strike a dynamic, changeable balance both in and out of the workplace.
“I started writing this book while I was taking trips every Sunday to visit my grandmother in a nursing home. During those trips, I often had plenty of hours to think, and inevitably my mind drifted to questions about leadership and what made leaders effective,” Heflich said. “As the pieces of the puzzle started to materialize and come together, I tested my theories on the job and found that they worked. The ideas in this book helped me to succeed, and my hope is that this book will help you to be a more successful leader as well.”
Peppered with bits of wisdom from leadership sages both fictional and real, “Balanced Leadership” delivers a frank, conversational and relatable approach to the benefits any person can reap by choosing to grow their leadership skill set and invites readers to move forward in pursuit of their personal and professional passions and goals.
