Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential
Harvard Business Review Press
See publicationAs a leader, it’s easy to point the finger at someone else when something goes wrong—expectations aren’t met, peers are slow to act, or pressure from the top adds to an already stressful environment. Leaders spend so much time trying to control others, stressing and ruminating on how to force a situation to bend to their will, when instead they should be focusing on themselves.

Leaders spend so much time trying to control others, stressing and ruminating on how to force a situation to bend to their will, when instead they should be focusing on themselves.
In Leadership Unblocked: Break Through the Beliefs That Limit Your Potential, Muriel outlines seven hidden beliefs that are holding leaders back. These unconscious beliefs actively block progress if leaders aren’t aware of their existence, preventing leaders from seeing a situation clearly, solving problems effectively, and ultimately, advancing their careers. From “I know I’m right” to “I need to be involved” to “I don’t belong here,” Muriel offers signs and signals to determine which hidden blockers might be at play, where they come from, and the cost of those blockers both on leaders and on their organizations.
Leadership Unblocked provides practical tools for leaders to identify, unpack and break through these barriers to get out of their own way to achieve individual goals, deliver organizational results, and lead with more ease, better vision and higher impact. -

Harvard Business Review Magazine
See publicationHigh-performing leaders often face internal limiting beliefs that hinder their effectiveness and career growth. Identifying and reframing these hidden blockers can unlock greater leadership potential and improve team and organizational outcomes. Common limiting beliefs include the need to be involved in every detail, an urgency for immediate results, a belief in always being right, a fear of making mistakes, expectations that others should perform like oneself, an inability to say no, and…
High-performing leaders often face internal limiting beliefs that hinder their effectiveness and career growth. Identifying and reframing these hidden blockers can unlock greater leadership potential and improve team and organizational outcomes. Common limiting beliefs include the need to be involved in every detail, an urgency for immediate results, a belief in always being right, a fear of making mistakes, expectations that others should perform like oneself, an inability to say no, and feelings of not belonging. Overcoming these blockers involves recognizing and naming the limiting belief, understanding its origins and impact, and reframing it into a more productive belief. Leaders can then support their teams in identifying and overcoming their own limiting beliefs, fostering a culture of growth and improved performance.

Own The Room: Discover Your Signature Voice to Master Your Leadership Presence
HBR Press
People are drawn to and influenced by leaders who communicate authentically, connect easily with people, and have immediate impact. So how do you become one of them? How can you learn to “own the room?” This book will help you develop your leadership presence.

So how do you become one of them? How can you learn to “own the room?” This book will help you develop your leadership presence.
According to Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, leadership presence is the ability to consistently and clearly articulate your value proposition while influencing and connecting with others. They offer a simple and compelling framework, as well as practical advice about how you can develop your own powerful personal presence. No matter where you sit in an organization, you can develop this if you are able to do two things well: first, demonstrate your authentic value and distinction and second, connect to others in a positive way. Leaders who are able to be authentic while connecting with and impacting others have what the authors call a “signature voice”—a means of self-expression that is uniquely and distinctly their own. Once you discover and express your own signature voice, you won’t believe the impact you can have on those around you.
Filled with real-life stories and examples, Own the Room demystifies the concept of presence and gives you the tools you need to identify and embrace your unique leadership voice—and have a greater impact on the world around you.Other authorsSee publication
