books

Here is a book review of The Inner Edge: The 10 Practices of Personal Leadership by Joelle K. Jay:

We are living in the world of chaos. The chaos is everywhere around us. As an entrepreneur, you have created your company and very quickly become aware that you find yourself in very unpredictable chaos where you will need to lead and manage yourself and others around you.

I just finished reading the book titled „The Inner Edge – The 10 Practices of Personal Leadership” by Joelle K. Jay an executive leadership coach and founder and president of Pillar Consulting, LLC. This book simply gives me a very different look at personal leadership, productivity, and doing the right thing in the right way.

The book will help everyone to achieve what really matters on a professional and personal level. In the book, the author defines inner and outer edge with the following words:

Every leader has an inner and outer edge. Your inner edge is you behind the scenes: your thoughts and motivation, your aspirations, your plans, your decisions, your strengths and weakness, your values, and your way of becoming a success. Your outer edge is you that you show the world: your words, your actions, and your interactions with the people around you. Your inner and outer edges are intimately related.
