VisuaLeadership

Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life

About this book

VisuaLeadership [noun]: The art and science of applying visual thinking and visual communication tools, tips, and techniques, in order to turn your vision into reality. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and finding the right words takes time, and time is money, then wouldn't it follow that business leaders could make more moneyā€”in less timeā€”if they simply took a more "visual" approach to how they manage and lead? Okay, it's not quite that simpleā€¦but VisuaLeadership will forever change the way you think and communicate by showing how you can quickly and easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, analogy, storytelling, and humor to help you take your game to a whole new level. The French novelist Marcel Proust famously wrote that, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." So, if your vision is to become a better communicator and presenter, a more innovative thinker, a more productive performer, a more efficient manager, a more effective coach, or a more visionary and inspirational leader, then this exciting new book will open your "mind's eye" to a whole new world: The world of VisuaLeadership. "Have you added visual communication to your leadership toolbox? According to Todd Cherches, if you haven't, you're missing out on a powerful tool to capture attention, aid comprehension, and enable your team members to retain the information you need them to use. Packed with examples, VisuaLeadership will help you develop this skill so that you can become a better communicator, innovator, and leader." ā€”Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive "The most effective communicators and leaders use the power of story to influence and inspire action. In VisuaLeadership, Cherches demonstrates how every role can express their ideas through the use of visual imagery and visual language. This book will help anyone discover how to become a visual leader." ā€”Nancy Duarte, CEO and bestselling author"I always say that 'what got you hereā€¦won't get you there.' To help you 'get there, ' executive coach Todd Cherches, in his wonderful new book, VisuaLeadership, demonstrates how we can all leverage the power of visual thinking to envisionā€”and to achieveā€”a more successful future." ā€”Marshall Goldsmith, the world's #1 Leadership Thinker and Executive Coach
