Heart Leader: A Personal Journey to the Heart of Business and Life
by Daryl Wizelman

Heart Leader is an inspiring and instructive business biography that teaches and advocates for a different way to conduct our professional lives, with the hope that we can enhance productivity at the workplace and create a more satisfied and rewarding life in general. The book illustrates how the personal journey affects the professional one, and asks why we can’t create more businesses that offer a more humanistic experience. Redefining the economy will take years. It might never return to what it was, and in many ways, this could be a blessing. In this period of flux, Heart Leaders will need to change the places we work. Heart Leaders must help define the new economy, working to create optimum employee performance and loyalty. Heart Leaders need to create an atmosphere of positive energies not driven by the constant accumulation of raises and bonuses. Anytime lessons from the heart are expressed, they can often be perceived as “soft”. The intention of Heart Leader is to provide the reader with an opportunity to make an immediate and tangible impact in the workplace and the world around them. Each chapter concludes with a Heart Leader ROI (Return on Investment), guiding the reader into action.
