Finally a DYI manual to guide executives to master the daily challenge of managing their responsibilities AND their personal needs

Anyone with executive responsibilities – entrepreneurs, business managers, directors of large organizations, even busy parents – needs to be focused, in command, and able to make wise decisions at any moment. And they must be able to reliably sustain this performance capacity for the long term. On the surface, it seems like a daunting and stressful task. Yet many people not only excel at this daily, but also derive great satisfaction and joy from the process.

These are not corporate secrets. Anyone can learn and implement the methods of successful CEOs.

While some are natural-born leaders to whom this comes easily, most have struggled and learned the strategies over many decades. Dr. Kahn's book helps the reader identify and master the core mental, emotional and interpersonal skills executives need to perform optimally.

Synthesizing data from his own research (CEO Stress Project), complex science, and clinical acumen, Dr. Kahn dispels the myth of natural talent. He provides empirically based practical guidelines for self-improvement, and guides the reader through a skill-building process to develop an ideal executive performance state. The book is like having your own personal leadership coach.

It is for anyone who has the gnawing feeling that they are capable of more or feels that life shouldn't be so stressful. The strategies are applicable to:

companies wanting to increase staff productivity and creativity, and decrease stress related work problems,
businesses committed to the success of newly placed executives,
ambitious people determined to succeed in career and business, and devoted to staying healthy, to having satisfying relationships, and to enjoying life.
