Pause

You can’t get your team’s attention if you yourself are driven to distraction. Vanderhoven gives you the tools you need to focus on the things that matter. Essential! * Kim Scott, author of bestselling books Radical Candor and Radical Respect *I’ve spent years writing about the power of questions. But for good questions to make a difference, there needs to be space to hear them. This is the book you need to create that space. * Michael Bungay Stanier, author of The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book *This book isn’t just a theory. Shawn did the work to find out what leaders are doing to lead great work instead of driving teams to burnout. * Liz Wiseman, author of best-selling books Multipliers and Impact Players *Shawn Vanderhoven names something every overwhelmed professional feels but often can’t articulate: the invisible wake of digital detritus that managers mindlessly create for their teams. Pause is a sharp, research-backed argument for why the best leaders tap the brakes - and a clear guide for how to do it without losing momentum. Read it before your next meeting, and then cancel half the meetings on your calendar. * Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive, When, and The Power of Regret *
