Mentally Strong Leader

“This book will prove an indispensable resource again and again."
—Dan Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret, When, and To Sell is Human

Train your brain for achievement.

Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Mautz defines mental strength as the ability to self-regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to achieve exceptional outcomes, despite adversity. It’s the superpower of our times. Mentally strong leaders are confident and in control of themselves and their environment; they have endurance, they stay disciplined, and stress only makes their decision-making sharper. They manage themselves internally to lead others externally.

The Mentally Strong Leader gives readers a mental exercise plan to become that person. Readers begin with a diagnostic Mental Strength Self-Assessment, and receive a customized plan of 50 proven, science-based tools to build their six core mental muscles:

• Fortitude
• Decision-making
• Confidence
• Goal-focus
• Boldness             
• Messaging

Inspired by Mautz’s hit LinkedIn Learning course, “10 Habits of Mentally Strong People,” his 25 years leading some of Procter & Gamble’s biggest multi-billion-dollar businesses, and over 30 years of studying this topic, The Mentally Strong Leader relies on mental models, data and research, habit-building science, and practical tools and exercises to create enduring strength for readers.
