Healing Politics
Author: Abdul El-Sayed
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1683358139
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
A memoir about restoring the health of our people, and our democracy, from a physician and “one of the brightest young stars” of the progressive movement (Sen. Bernie Sanders). A child of immigrants, Abdul El-Sayed grew up feeling a responsibility to help others. He threw himself into the study of medicine and excelled—winning a Rhodes Scholarship, earning two advanced degrees, and landing a tenure-track position at Columbia University. At thirty, he became the youngest city health official in America, tasked with rebuilding Detroit’s health department after years of austerity policies. But El-Sayed found himself disillusioned. He could heal the sick—even build healthier, safer communities—but that wouldn’t address the social and economic conditions causing illness in the first place. So he left health for politics, running for Governor of Michigan and earning the support of progressive champions like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders. This memoir traces the life of a young idealist, weaving together powerful personal stories and fascinating forays into history and science. Marrying his unique perspective with the science of epidemiology, El-Sayed diagnoses an underlying epidemic afflicting our country, an epidemic of insecurity. And to heal the rifts this epidemic has created, he lays out a new direction for the progressive movement. This is a bold, personal, and compellingly original book from a prominent young leader. “In Healing Politics, Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t just diagnose the causes of our broken politics; he gives us a prescription and treatment plan.” —Representative Pramila Jayapal

Pages : 42
Book Description
How do you build trust as a leader? Why is building trust as a leader so hard? It comes down to understanding the foundations you must put in place before you build trust, the methods you can use throughout the regular course of your work together as a team and the mindset you have as a leader as you practice the behaviours and skills to sustain the culture of trust and performance. Trust is one of the hardest leadership skills to master, because it requires you (in your leadership role) to rise above the pressure and demands of the day to day to keep a bigger agenda top of mind while leading your team. When you make that shift you’ll look back and realise that whether you lead a team or cross functional work group, trust is the foundation of peak performance. Without it, nothing is sustainable. No action, commitment or belief lasts the distance. No one believes in the commitments they've made together long enough to sustain the change or innovation you’re working for. In truth, trust is critical to all of the valued relationships in our lives. It’s at work in particular that we often leave it to chance - realising too late that the trust we need to lean on during times of change or adversity isn’t strong enough to sustain the requests we need to make of each other. Work Culture shows you the importance of trust, its impact on culture and tips for actively building trust as a leader to improve the culture and performance of your team.
