The Leader's Playlist: Unleash the Power of Music and Neuroscience to Transform Your Leadership and Your Life

by Susan Drumm

Overview

Is your internal playlist holding you back from being the leader you could be?

In The Leader's Playlist, leadership coach Susan Drumm unveils a groundbreaking process that outlines how our childhood wounds influence our ability to lead others and how music can heal those wounds. Maybe you're having a hard time retaining or engaging your people. Or perhaps you're feeling burnout or that you can't delegate or trust your team to deliver. These problems and other leadership challenges can be addressed by shifting how you show up as a leader, and music is the catalyst.

Drawing on neuroscience and leadership research, Drumm's process uses the power of music to, first, help you recognize when an old, detrimental neural pathway (the old playlist, established by childhood wounds) is activated and, second, guide you to strengthen a new neural pathway (a new playlist). This book will help you:

• Make better decisions instead of defaulting to old neural pathways
• Attract others who are as committed as you are to a mission
• Scale your business more efficiently and effectively by influencing and inspiring instead of defending and controlling

With newfound freedom from the weight of the old playlist, you will unleash energy to focus on a meaningful mission, find more joy, and lead in a way that brings out the best in others.
