T. R. Parker is a leadership consultant who believed she had leadership all figured out, until one day she noticed that the pep talks and how-to's were not sufficient to help her get through the challenges she was facing as a leader herself. She began to feel like her work was insignificant and possibly a lie. The words she used to encourage others were falling woefully short in their ability to uplift her in the midst of her own struggles - personally and professionally. It was from this personal experience that Dear Leader was born. When she began to see more and more high-functioning leaders hitting proverbial brick walls and lacking the space to have authentic conversation about what happens behind the scenes, she decided to create that space in a book. Dear Leader is a compilation of the conversations that every leader needs to hear, but most don't get the opportunity to engage in. It speaks to the inevitable challenges that every leader has faced and will face throughout their leadership journey. From the subjects of Identity to Ethics, Dear Leader provides inspiration and guidance for leaders of every level and at every stage of leadership. For leaders that have felt the pressures of their position and felt alone or unsupported, Dear Leader offers a realistic look at the hard truth of life as a leader and a safe space to experience it all. For leaders that are open to peel back the covers and expose the darker side of leadership, this is the read that will provide insight, preparation and support throughout the ever-evolving face of our world through peace, pandemic and protest.
