Overview

Written by six experienced coaches, all members of the Institute of Coaching at McLean (an affiliate of Harvard Medical School) who have over 100 years coaching experience between them, MYPRISM emerged from pandemic lockdown discussions and addresses the critical issue of managers and executives relying on 'autopilot' to guide them, their leadership practice and their organizations through the challenges they encounter. This short but highly readable book uses the MYPRISM acronym to guide the reader through the seven elements of their intentional leadership framework. The prism metaphor reminding us how illuminating the process can be, allowing us to turn confusion and chaos into colour and clarity. Defaulting to an 'autopilot' is efficient only when there is no time to think or when circumstances have not substantially changed. In today's complex world decision-making and organizational management requires something more intentional: mindful leadership. Autopilot is a natural default choice in the face of change, when it is scary or uncertain. However, if left unchecked, autopilot creates blind spots, distorts reality and clouds perspectives and frequently can lead to suboptimal solutions. MYPRISM brings the collected insights and wisdom of the authors executive coaching experience together and provides a simple framework to turn off your autopilot and choose mindful leadership.

"This valuable book, based on scientific research findings as well as real-life experience from experts in the field, will equip you to leave your default ""autopilot"" mode and engage instead on a fulfilling, exciting and purposeful life journey. Prof. Philippe Rosinski, Master Certified Coach, Author of ""Coaching Across Cultures"" and ""Global Coaching"" MYPRISM is a brilliant addition to leadership literature. The authors' five-country breadth of experience gives the reader a useful perspective on the commonality of leadership dilemmas, and practical applications for what to do. ""Key take-aways"" summarize the high points in chapters. Case studies offer opportunities for reflection. This is a practical book, and will be a reference you will return to again and again. Margaret Cary, MD MBA MPH PCC Fascinating propositions for any leader who wants to lead in adverse times and ride the waves towards excellence. The book is a useful compendium as it clearly articulates how a leader can be deliberate in mindful thinking and move towards actions. Ishak Ismail, Brigadier-General (Retired), Singapore Armed Forces, Former CEO, Consultant Good leadership does not happen by accident. MYPRISM makes this very clear. It is not only a unique acronym but also a thoughtful way of approaching the art of leadership (...) Based on real science, deliberate analysis, and informed insights, MYPRISM grounds the reader while driving home the point that good leadership is not automatic, accidental, or unconscious. Rather, it is well considered and based in fact, analysis, and a desire for constant improvement. Rick Arai, Managing Director, Deloitte Global Technology Shared Services, Deloitte Services LP Sometimes we need to go a step back to move forward. MYPRISM is the perfect reminder on how important it is to listen, question the matter of course, reflect - and finally make better decisions moving forward. In a world that seems to become more dynamic and volatile day after day it is crucial to have a reliable compass. Who could offer this better than experienced coaches from different countries with different backgrounds and perspectives like the authors of MYPRISM? Birgit Dengel, Director Corporate Communications & Public Relations, o2 Telefónica Germany; Expert for Positioning and Strategic Communications With the intention of being a book at the service of leaders in their eternal process of evolution, it is an invitation to the self-development of our human consciousness. The 7 Facets of MYPRISM present a coherent and instructive approach for all those who directly or indirectly work with people. José Augusto Figueiredo, The Adecco Group Country Head Brazil, Country Head Brazil & VP LHH AGG Latin America This book is something I have been waiting for for a very long time. It promises to close a gap that many practitioners have been struggling with: if I know all the theories, if I am aware of the consequences of my actions, then where can I spot in my inner self when things are about to go ""wrong"", moving into autopilot even though I know and can do things so much better. Six highly qualified experts sensed this important gap and what they came up with, based on their global experience, is truly fascinating. Dr. Matthias Lichtblau, Managing Director, Global Chief Operating Officer, WTS Global A practical, insightful roadmap for personal, professional, and organizational transformation that combines outstanding academic research with real-world leadership coaching experience. Paul Kinscherff, Former President, The Boeing Company Middle East"
