CHICAGO, IL <\/strong>\u2013 In the midst of an unprecedented year marked by C 19 and social unrest, leadership and communications expert, David Grossman, interviewed a remarkable group of leaders inside large corporations and small businesses. The leaders were both candid and wise as they reflected on the key lessons they\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n Those interviews, with a host of other guidance on how to lead teams through crisis and change, are featured in a new leadership book being released this week by Grossman, founder and CEO of The Grossman Group, an award-winning leadership and communications consultancy that focuses on organizational consulting, strategic leadership development, and internal communications for Fortune 500 clients.<\/p>\n The book, Heart First: Lasting Leader Lessons from a Year that Changed Everything<\/em><\/strong>, includes interviews with more than 30 top leaders inside a variety of organizations, each of whom share stories and unique experiences from a year full of challenges and surprising triumphs.<\/p>\n One of Grossman\u2019s biggest takeaways from his many interviews was the length leaders were willing to go to connect on a personal level with their teams, and to lead with both their heart and their heads.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is what this book is all about \u2013 applying those lessons learned to become the very best leader and communicator you can possibly be,\u201d Grossman writes in the Preface to the upcoming Heart First<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cLet\u2019s face it: It\u2019s relatively easy to lead when times are good. It takes a lot more courage, grit and heart to lead during tough times. Now more than ever, leaders play a pivotal role in connecting, calming and inspiring their teams. A big part of that is leading with the Heart First<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the interviews, Grossman\u2019s new book includes some of his most important learnings from several decades advising on leadership, communication and change.
