The Axiom Business Book Award 2023 Bronze Co-Medalist,Leadership Category, has been awarded to the author of "The Emotionally Strong Leader." This book offers leaders an opportunity to transform their leadership and lives by learning to harness the power of recognizing and understanding their feelings. By managing their emotions and leading with a strong mind and kind heart, leaders can connect more authentically and communicate more effectively with their colleagues and teams, creating an environment of trust and belonging that spur engagement, spike curiosity, and engender fraternity in the workplace.

Unfortunately, too many leaders choose another path, one that eschews their emotions and those of their employees as bothersome and unimportant to the task at hand. This limited and damaging viewpoint tends to make people feel as though they are simply task-managing machines and not the terrific and complex individuals full of energy, passion, and unlimited potential that they are.

What we need are leaders who understand themselves from the inside out, who know why they do what they do, and who use the information their feelings provide to help them make informed, rational decisions—especially when the stakes are high. We need leaders who express humility, engage in genuine and caring conversations with the people they lead, and who are not afraid to admit when they make a mistake. We need executives who are both emotional and strong.

Author Caro believes that we need leaders who are both emotional and strong to create a successful and fulfilling workplace. She encourages leaders to embrace their emotions and use them as a source of strength and inspiration to lead with empathy, authenticity, and resilience. By doing so, leaders can create a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration that will drive innovation, growth, and success for their organizations and communities.
