The authors identify the principles of uplifting leadership, showing readers: how to identify and articulate an inspiring dream or destination that is coherently connected to the best of what the organization has been before;how to fight for and drive to achieve the realization of that dream with resilience and tenacity;how to take the opposite path to reaching that dream which opponents do not expect by heading into the winds of resistance;how to pursue the dream at a sustainable pace that does not squander resources, incur excessive debt or burn people out;how to navigate direction and monitor progress by using metrics and indicators in a mindful and meaningful way that everyone values and understands;how to build teams that pull people into change rather than pushing them through it; andhow to collaborate with competitors from time to time instead of trying to vanquish them altogether. Uplifting builds on the authors' original research of 17 corporations, organizations, and systems in business, sports and public education that dramatically improved their performance against unfavorable and even overwhelming odds. Their research answers: What does it take to do a lot with a little, better than you did, or better than your peers ? How do you turn losses into wins, near-bankruptcy into strong profitability, and abject failure into stellar success ?
