In her new book, Crossing MeridiansTM: Engineering Disruption to Become a More Effective Leader, the author shares her tested approach to leadership enrichment and provides a workbook to help leaders plan their development journeys.
Cynthia thoughtfully shows aspiring to mid-career leaders how to move from their familiar ways of working and thinking to heightened leadership. With her Crossing Meridians approach, which is both a mindset and a method, Cynthia provides the framework for a deeply personal, step-by-step approach to leadership development that guides leaders through learning cycles.
In Crossing Meridians, leaders are encouraged to engineer their own disruption-taking on uncomfortable, more complex development actions that allow them to cross divides while gaining the essential leadership capabilities of empathy, openness, and resiliency. Leaders are shown how to define their Beginning Meridians, those early, pervasive influences that shape us. They also are shown how to envision their larger leadership and target, select, and execute development actions that move them from their Beginning Meridians to their New Meridians.
