John Baldoni

In his book Grace Under Pressure: Leading Through Change and Crisis, John Baldoni argues that leaders need to do three things when times are tough: take care of their people, take care of themselves, and prepare for the future. He also emphasizes that leaders should do all of this with a sense of grace, meaning calmly, collectedly, and compassionately. Baldoni, a highly sought-after executive coach, has worked with senior leaders in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, real estate, packaged goods, automobiles, finance, and healthcare. He shares his expertise in this book, focusing on how leaders can prepare for change by focusing on their people. The book explores themes such as fear, loss, empathy, resilience, and hope. It also provides a roadmap for leaders who want to create community and meet challenges with dignity and grace.
