Overview
The New York Times bestselling author of Boundaries outlines a step-by-step action plan to rid yourself of the limiting patterns and thinking that are holding you back from reaching your highest potential as a leader or a person.
In this big think book, Dr. Henry Cloud focuses on how you can move from your current state (here) to a desired future state (there) using intentional actions, practices, and structured strategies that every successful endeavor must contain.
Introducing five components that are essential to results, to leadership, whether you are leading a business, rebuilding a relationship, developing a space program, or are making permanent changes to your lifestyle. Your Desired Future introduces a profound, yet straightforward framework inspired by how the human body functions, combining psychology, physiology and neuroscience, showing why these sometimes fail and how to do them in the way that achieves the desired result:
- Vision: Establishing a clear, compelling, and desired future state that serves as a guiding force.
- Talent & Resources: Identifying and engaging the right people and tools necessary to achieve the vision.
- Strategy & Plan: Developing a structured approach to achieving goals, including specific steps and strategies.
- Measurement & Accountability: Tracking progress against objectives and holding oneself and others to account.
- Adaptation & Problem-Solving: Quickly recognizing issues and implementing solutions to stay aligned with goals.
