In constant demand as a coach, speaker, and consultant to companies around the world, David Rock has proven that the secret to leading people (and living and working with them) is found in the space between their ears. "If people are being paid to think," he writes, "isn't it time the business world found out what the thing doing the work, the brain, is all about?" Supported by the latest groundbreaking research, Quiet Leadership provides a brain-based approach that will help busy leaders, executives, and managers improve their own and their colleagues' performance. Rock offers a practical, six-step guide to making permanent workplace performance change by unleashing higher productivity, new levels of morale, and greater job satisfaction. Reviews Quiet Leadership will help you improve other people's thinking, which is the best place to begin improving performance. —Marshall Goldsmith, founder of Marshall Goldsmith Partners Rock has broken the code on how to leverage our most basic human function-thinking! Both practical and profound - a must- read for anyone who wants to unleash the potential of their team. —Michael W. Morrison, Dean, University of Toyota Success depends on the quality of thinking. In the past, if we wanted to change our habitual forms of thinking, we operated in the dark - because nobody had taken the cutting-edge insights of neuroscientists and rephrased them in ordinary language or a business context. Now David Rock has done exactly that, and done it well. —Art Kleiner, Editor-in-Chief, Strategy+Business magazine Essential reading for any leader who has ever wondered, Why don't people do what I tell them to do? —Dianna Anderson, MCC VP Leadership Coaching, Metrix Global, LLC Thank you, David Rock!

The key to the future of leadership development lies in these pages. —Jeffrey Schwartz, MD, Author of The Mind & The Brain, and Brain Lock Quiet Leadership is an inspiring, clear, step-by-step approach to changing people, rather than processes. —Elisa Mallis, Human Performance Consultant, Accenture, London
