"From Mindsets to Heartbeats"

To help managers and leaders compete in the new knowledge era, Ron Foss has authored a book titled "From Mindsets to Heartbeats".

The book attempts to shift managers' traditional thinking about human performance from that of only ability to include the vital elements of motivation and emotional performance.

Ron puts it this way: "I have attempted to illustrate specific behaviours and the implications of these behaviours on the motivation of employees. Throughout my journey, I have always tried to manage and lead with some emotion and passion for each individual as an individual and not just an instrument for generating profits. Life is too short not to try and make the most of our interactions with people."

Testimonials

"As an experienced manager I would like to acknowledge Ron Foss’ efforts in his capacity as a Management Consultant for leadership and management coaching via his affiliation with EQ Management Group. From the feedback I received from individuals who participated in the one-on-one coaching sessions I believe the experience was very beneficial and brought a more diverse understanding of team and personal interaction that noticeably helped these individuals in their growth as managers within our globally dynamic business.”
– Karen Freshwater, Michigan

"I was fortunate to have been coached and mentored by Ron Foss in his capacity as manager and executive coach over a period of 4 years. During that time, Ron continuously amazed me at his ability to alter his management and leadership style to motivate each member of the team from front line sales employees to executives in senior management positions. He leads by example; he encourages individuals to focus on their positive attributes; he has the innate ability to keep his eye on the bottom line while personally helping each individual to be the best that they can be. The work environment he creates encourages those around him to take pride in their accomplishments individually as well as within a team. Having had the opportunity to work with Ron early in my career put me at a great advantage. I would highly recommend his coaching style and capabilities to individuals at various stages of their careers. Ron Foss is a leader beyond his time; we can only hope that others will catch up!"

"I found Ron to be genuinely interested in me as a person and as an employee within a large corporation, and this combination helped me to see what I could do to become a better leader and mentor. As a result of this coaching, I have actually had colleagues tell me they see a noticeable improvement in how I handle what were once difficult and frustrating situations.”
- Kathy Pittelkow, Michigan

"His ability to 'walk his talk' from 'mindsets to heartbeats', served to enhance my self confidence and overall effectiveness. He taught me to always 'think of others... not only in your mind but in your heart' too"
- Bill MacKenzie, Toronto

From chapter IV:

"The values of honesty, trust and integrity should be the foundation for all practices as a manager; or for that matter, any person."

From chapter VI:

"By facilitating leadership and working with employees in a learning session, managers will not only learn more about the subject matter but will also learn much more about the employees they are mentoring or coaching."
