Jeffrey Hull

The Art and Science of Leadership in a Changing World

This essential and timely book is for fans of Adam Grant, Simon Sinek, and Daniel Coyle; and for readers at any stage of their career hoping to become better leaders at work.
For the first time, leadership expert Jeffrey Hull shares the secrets, strategies, and science underlying his, and his clients', successes. Interweaving real-life stories with practical tips and the latest evidence-based research, he equips readers with the insights they need to thrive in today's world.

We are in the age of the post-heroic leader. Once, to move up the corporate ladder and succeed at the top, you simply had to set goals, motivate the troops, delegate to underlings, and groom a successorprobably one who looked and behaved just like you. But this white knight has become an anachronism. Whether a person is twenty-five or fifty, if they're leading a team now, chances are that they're managing a kaleidoscope of people from a variety of cultures, across a range of ages, all of whom are wired together 24/7. These changing demographics and structures have led to a seismic shift in terms of the tools needed to successfully manage and grow within a company: charisma and strategic thinking abilities now matter less than qualities like vulnerability and relatability.

Based on his popular courses at Harvard and NYU, Hull has identified the six key elements that leaders need to succeed in this new workplace, known as F.I.E.R.C.E: Flexibility, Intentionality, Emotional Intelligence, Realness, Collaboration, and Engagement. From start-ups to universities to Fortune 500 companies, he's been able to help leaders from across the board develop the skillsets that have advanced their careers and won them accolades.

DJeffrey Hull, PhD, is an author, educator, and consultant with over twenty years' experience partnering with C-suite executives on issues of high performance leadership, change management, organizational strategy, structure and culture. He is a highly sought after facilitator, keynote speaker, and executive coach to both non-profit and for-profit global organizations. The CEO of Leadershift, Inc. a management consultancy based in New York City, he is also a clinical instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and an adjunct professor of leadership at New York University.
