Invest Your Heartbeats Wisely is based on the concept that each of us has a limited number of heartbeats while on this earth and how we choose to spend, or invest, those heartbeats really does matter. We trade our heartbeats for money we receive from employers, experiences we have, and possessions we choose. The money, time spent, and things are really quite valuable when held to the finite heartbeat test.
Similarly, leaders and people of influence in organizations have the choice as to where to invest their heartbeats in forming the future of their companies, firms, even family. The book explores areas in the business that yield great dividends from the invested heartbeats of the leadership. Traits of effective leadership and actual practices, organizational culture and accountability, mentoring up and coming leaders are all discussed with philosophical outlines as well as practical implementation and examples.
More than just focusing on the dollars and cents of the business, the book lays out a strong case for the ethical treatment of all people associated with the business. This starts with the behavior of the leader and the transparency and consistency by which he or she chooses to live. The book leans on the Judeo-Christian heritage and Biblical wisdom to make a case for doing the right things for people in all cases. Practical examples of getting and retaining teammates and providing purpose for their involvement in the vision of the leader and corporate goals are discussed and described.
Rather than being a flash in the pan and trying to make a quick buck, Invest Your Heartbeats Wisely lays out the long term benefits of living, stating, and acting in an honorable way that will lead to a more profitable life overall and one that provides a foundation of principles by which to work. Thank you for investing some of your precious heartbeats here; you won’t be disappointed.
