You Lead, How Being Yourself Makes You A Better Leader (2021)

Your biggest asset in leadership is you. How can you expect people to trust and believe in you, if you aren’t truthful and don’t embrace your whole self at work?

There is a need for a new kind of leadership; one that bleeds personality and rings true to employees and customers alike who crave authenticity. You Lead, which won the Business Book Award 2022 in the category of Leadership, argues that business leaders deliver superior results, communities of engagement both inside and outside of the company and true values-driven success when they are themselves and come across as genuine.

The book is out as a paperback, ebook and an audiobook as well. Find out where you can get your copy here. Il est sorti en version française (VF) en mai 2023, sous le nom La Boussole du Leader, aux éditions Diateino, Guy Trédaniel. Pour plus d’informations, voir c-dessous ou cliquez ici.

“Avec La Boussole du leader, Minter Dial nous montre qu’il y a une nouvelle façon d’être un leader d’envergure en sachant être authentique et pragmatique, en étant synchro avec sa vie personnelle, et en donnant un cap puissant éthique. C’est un livre essentiel pour l’entrepreneur tout comme pour l’exécutif en affaires.” – Lubomira Rochet, ex-Chief Digital Officer du groupe L’Oréal

La Boussole du leader est à LIRE IMPÉRATIVEMENT. Comme Minter Dial le souligne, les grands leaders de demain seront ceux qui savent être eux-mêmes tout au long de la journée, que ce soit avec la caissière de l’épicerie du coin ou leur conjoint, ami, client, distributeur ou collègue. Ce livre dessine un moyen pratique d’être un tel leader, tout en produisant de bons résultats. La Boussole du leader est un guide complet sur le leadership.” – Nicolas Bordas, vice-président international de TBWA/Worldwide et membre du conseil d’administration d’Omnicom Europe

The Last Ring Home, A POW’s Lasting Legacy of Courage, Love, and Honor in World War II by Minter Dial II (2016)

The Last Ring Home is the story of Lt Minter Dial’s Annapolis Naval Academy ring, that miraculously made its way home 17 years after he was killed as a POW of the Japanese in WWII. The Last Ring Home is a tribute to Lt Dial, the producer’s grandfather, and all members of the Greatest Generation. It is also a journey of self-discovery, having an impact on the filmmaker, his wider family and many other people in its wake. This story, which took over 25 years of research, illustrates the importance of serendipity and the role of good and bad luck in piecing together a personal history of someone who died 70 years ago. The Last Ring Home is to inspire everyone to uncover their own personal history, to keep a foot in their past and the other in the future, and to be thankful for the tremendous present in which we live, thanks to the sacrifices of the those who fought in WWII. Click here for more information, photos and about the eponymous award-winning film.
