Facing The Seduction Of Success
Jodi Katz with Jan Michell
Lead In Business While Living Your Life
Business leaders are constantly faced with the dilemma of how to embrace the work they love while keeping it from eclipsing the other parts of their lives. It is easy to get sucked into feeding work’s end-less hunger. Work is infinite. Work is unforgiving. It is also exciting and joyful. And that’s what makes it so seductive. The challenge is to give ourselves fully to our work, which is necessary for success, without getting drained by work’s immense neediness.
In Facing the Seduction of Success, you will learn poignant insights from conversations on how beauty industry leaders strike that balance. Or valiantly try. If you are serious about the balance of success and its pursuit – and enjoy a spot of humor and authentic emotion along the way – then this is the book for you!
