New Book Praised by John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market, THE YOGA OF LEADERSHIP Wins Four Book Awards
First time Author, Tarra Mitchell, wins four awards for her new leadership book - The Yoga of Leadership: A Practical Guide to Health, Happiness, and Inspiring Total Team Engagement.
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass., July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "It is time to redefine leadership and business in noble terms. It is clear to me that a sustainable society requires it. The Yoga of Leadership shows a leader how to become a happy, healthy, and connected leader that is motivated through purpose and principle," continues Mitchell.
The Yoga of Leadership is the WINNER of the 12th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards in both the Leadership and Motivational categories and the FINALIST in Wellbeing. The Yoga of Leadership is also a FINALIST in the Motivational category in the 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Award contest.
"I am truly honored and humbled for the recognition of two nationally known award contests," says yoga teacher and financial services professional Tarra Mitchell about her new book, The Yoga of Leadership: A Practical Guide to Health, Happiness, and Inspiring Total Team Engagement.
To help leaders achieve and maintain qualities essential to leadership success while fostering team engagement, Mitchell has designed a novel approach to leadership growth and development. Leveraging time-honored techniques from the traditional practice of yoga, The Yoga of Leadership explains how, by taking care of their holistic well-being, leaders are better able to:
- control emotions and manage stress,
- focus and concentrate,
- strengthen relationships, connection, and engagement,
- lead through an embodied set of principles,
- think more clearly and decisively, and
- make life-enhancing choices that improve overall well-being.
"Personal well-being is not only principle centric, but also a leading indicator of success at work and in life. When the rubber meets the road and we have to perform as leaders, it all needs to be in check," Mitchell says.
"As I've seen time and again, it's better to get folks to enlist than be drafted. True winning is about winning people over, inspiring them. Leaders must connect with their teams, know them well, and communicate the right messages to them so they willingly 'enlist'. People want to follow principled leaders who are ethical and supportive," furthered Mitchell.
