Continual improvisation on a theme is a more useful way to think of how to bring the various parts of life together.
Stewart D. Friedman
You really can choose to be the leader you want to be, in all parts of your life, if you take seriously the idea that there's a purpose to your life worth pursuing because it matters not just to you but to others. Consciously and deliberating devoting effort to realizing this idea is ennobling, though never without some struggle.
Stewart D. Friedman

My purpose is to help people understand that leadership skills are useful and relevant for pursuing meaningful aspirations in all aspects of life, and that this is a choice, a decision, not a default.

Stewart D. Friedman
Firms that fully embrace the needs and interests of the whole person will win today's competition for the best talent.
Stewart D. Friedman
If you shift your mindset to asking How can I initiate change that's good for my family, and my community, and my career, and my private self (mind, body and spirit)? then you are more likely to produce harmony in your life, over the course of your life.
Stewart D. Friedman
I believe each life has value and that we're on this earth to leave it better than how we found it. I want people to take this to hear and to try as hard as they can to improve their capacity to do so.
Stewart D. Friedman
The only failure is the failure to learn from conscious and deliberate efforts to make things better, even if those attempts fall short of the mark.
Stewart D. Friedman
Boundaries are shifting between work and the rest of life for men and for women at different life stages. Work is becoming home and home is becoming work. The progressive CEOs who grasp this emergent reality and adjust to embrace it will be at a competitive advantage in the marketplace for talent.
Stewart D. Friedman
Instead of the metaphor of scales in balance, I prefer the idea of a jazz quartet: you're trying to make music that feels and sounds good, and sometimes you only hear the trumpet or just the bass and piano. Sometimes all four are playing at the same time, but perhaps at different volume.
Stewart D. Friedman
Leading is about mobilizing people toward valued goals.
Stewart D. Friedman
The really good news is that when you give people the tools and the support to pursue what I call four-way wins - that is, improved performance in all parts of life - they are actually much likely to achieve these wins and, through the process, develop further their leadership skills.
Stewart D. Friedman
The principles that apply to engagement for employees are the same as those that apply to supervisors.
