About the Book

"This is a great book for both experienced and beginning leaders looking for a fresh outlook on the leadership development cannon."
Jon Kaplan, Principal & Founder, Corvantus Consulting and former CLO, Discover Card

"Success without balance is often more disastrous than failure with balance." So begins Dr. Andrew Temte's collection of candid observations on the challenges facing business leaders today. From top student to high school dropout, from aspiring rock star to successful business leader, Temte shares lessons learned on the importance of balance in all aspects of life and work.

Balancing Act explores the characteristics required of a new generation of leaders who must find balance between strength and vulnerability; confidence and selflessness; passion and measure; single mindedness and inclusivity; determination and curiosity; and leadership and followership. He stresses that balance is a journey, not a destination.

In Balancing Act, readers will learn:

  • How to identify and curtail organizational entropy
  • How leaders can facilitate a culture of trust
  • How to realize the benefits of a diverse organization by fostering a culture that encourages everyone to bring their 'whole self' to work.
  • How embarking on a continuous improvement journey can result in more balanced individuals, teams and organizations.

We are all seeking opportunity, joy, and purpose; the commitment to "teach, coach, mentor, and inspire," is a contribution we can all make as we seek balance in our workplace and home life.
