Strategy with a Heartbeat

Great strategy without heart is just a plan. Great heart without strategy is just good intentions. The best leaders master both.

In Strategy with a Heartbeat, Nathaniel H. Benjamin uses the four chambers of the human heart as a framework for leadership that is both rigorous and deeply human. Leaders learn to Receive what their people and data are telling them, Process it into sound judgment, Inspire a vision that gives life, and Execute with discipline and force.

When these four chambers work together, leadership stops feeling like a choice between being effective and being human. It becomes both.

Written for leaders and individual contributors in mission-driven organizations, this book is a practical guide for anyone who wants their strategy to have a pulse. Whether you are leading a team, an organization, or a movement, you will learn to lead with both precision and purpose.

Your strategy needs a heartbeat. This book will help you find it.

Nathaniel H. Benjamin is President and CEO of Vertical Works, with 25 years of experience leading organizations and developing executives through change.
