Healing Leadership Trauma: Finding Emotional Health and Helping Others Flourish

There are countless leadership resources, but most neglect the underlying emotional struggles of leaders who are often isolated and suffering in silence. This book lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders begin to face their pain and heal.

Countless books are designed to help leaders to become better leaders. But most resources neglect the underlying emotional struggles of both emerging and established leaders, who are often isolated and suffering in silence. Leadership professor Nicholas Rowe and counselor Sheila Wise Rowe offer their expertise in helping leaders process painful and traumatic experiences. Trauma contributes to how we lead others in either empowering or dysfunctional ways. Understanding how these experiences formed us is the beginning of the path to healing.

Woven throughout each chapter are five themes--invitation, attachment, remembrance, healing, and reconnection. Healing Leadership Trauma lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal.
