CARE to Win: The 4 Leadership Habits to Build High-Performing Teams

Become a better leader with this four-step plan for fostering creativity and innovation through creating a people-first workplace. "Quiet quitting, hybrid workplace, toxic boss . . . How do you lead today? A good place to start is by reading this book. This fresh look at leadership cannot be ignored, shouldn't be denied, and must be taken to heart. CARE to Win will show you the importance of caring as a leader of today." —Keith Ferrazzi, New York Times–bestselling author of Who's Got Your Back? and Never Eat Alone Build a Psychologically Safe, Courageous, and Successful Team through CAREing—Clarity (C). Autonomy (A). Relationships (R). Equity (E).

These four components of the CARE Equation are as vital today for business leaders and the teams counting on them as they ever were. Across the globe, companies simply continue to lose employees for a reason that's entirely avoidable: direct managers who, despite their best intentions, lack the insight and tools to build high-performing, psychologically safe teams.

For Alex Draper, founder of leadership development firm DX Learning, it all starts with one question: Are you providing your team members what they need to be their best selves so that they can do their best work? It's from here that his four-step playbook steps in to remind us that leading is and remains a human endeavor built on effective communication, real trust in individuals, authentic connections, and unceasing fairness.

In this revised edition of CARE to Win, Draper goes even deeper to outline each CARE component and break down internal biases that keep leaders from transforming their teams into unified powerhouses of creativity and innovation. Through personal stories, up-to-date research on positive psychology, and prompts and reflection exercises, he provides a modern guidebook to help any leader create a people-first environment where one not only wants to stay, but where they feel they can express themselves and perform to their highest potential.

The time is now to become the leader that can set a team free to win—every single day.

"The CARE Equation is exactly what high-performing leaders need to build high-performing teams. Make the commitment to practice CARE daily, and you'll be rewarded with higher engagement and retention." —Shep Hyken, New York Times–bestselling author of The Amazement Revolution
