Packed with practical tips, Sleep Intelligence will show you how you can show up as your best self and exhibit sleep leadership so that everyone on your team can do their best work. * Kim Scott, New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor *
I have literally never had a big idea or breakthrough when tired… Sleep is not just for the tired. Sleep has magical powers. It drives performance more than anyone knew. Els van der Helm rests her case. * Jim Clifton, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of It’s the Manager, and Chairman of Gallup *
Els [van der Helm] has written a very powerful primer on the importance of sleep for all of us (particularly those of us who may not think it’s important for them). She offers evidence-based ideas for getting more and better sleep and challenges us to be sleep leaders in our own organizations. Should be required reading for the modern manager. * Gary Pinkus, former Chairman, McKinsey & Company in North America *
