DALLAS, May 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Steinbrecher And Associates, a Dallas-based learning and consulting company, today announced the launch of a new website, The Institute of Heart-Centered Leadership (http://instituteofhcl.com), which brings together useful tools and information to help leaders and managers lead employees based on teachings from the book, Heart-Centered Leadership: An Invitation to Lead from the Inside Out.
Heart-Centered Leadership: An Invitation to Lead from the Inside Out, co-authored by Consultant Susan Steinbrecher, is a pioneering leadership approach that is characterized by care, concern, warmth, honesty and humility -- keys to career success and a healthy bottom line. "Traditional leadership and by-the-book management has become less effective in our constantly changing business world. The Heart-Centered Leadership approach is a personal choice and involves the whole person: mind, body and spirit. Through the application of the seven underlying principles and virtues, leaders set out on a clear path where they are inspired to become a 'heart-centered' leader through the process of developing healthy attitudes and responsive actions needed to convert inspiration into reality," said Susan Steinbrecher.
The new website features:
* The 7 Principles and Virtues of Heart-Centered Leadership -- Know Thyself; Don't Judge, Don't Assume, Come to Understand; They Need What You Need; Letting Go; Know Your Impact; Associates Have A Choice; and Care for the Heart * Articles and Tips on leadership, communication and how to motivate associates * Information on Heart-Centered Leadership Workshops held across the nation in 2007 * Testimonials from Heart-Centered Leadership participants * Customized services to improve personal or corporate leadership skills * Speaking engagement information for Heart-Centered Leadership as well as topics including Stress Management and Motivating and Retaining Employees
The "2007 Deloitte & Touche USA LLP Ethics and Workplace" survey released in April, revealed the important impact that management has in promoting ethical workplace behavior. Employed adults ranked the behavior of management and direct supervisors as the top two factors contributing to the promotion of an ethical workplace. Additionally, 60 percent of adults surveyed think that job dissatisfaction is a leading reason why people make unethical decisions at work.
Steinbrecher added, "Heart-Centered Leadership offers a unique perspective on how inward, mindful striving to do the right thing and be the best you can be yields leaders with integrity and who are responsive to their employees' needs and therefore, achieve even stronger financial results."
