About Light a Fire in Their Hearts 

Light a Fire in Their Hearts is a labor of love for people working around the globe. It seeks to spread the message that the state of leadership is a matter of public health: making the world a better workplace is essential for the advancement and continuation and evolution of our species, and for all living beings. Ultimately, the message to the new and future generations of leaders is that if you decide to take on a leadership role, you have a responsibility to do your part to inspire and engage employees, and to create healthier and more inclusive workplaces. As a collective, you hold the power to make the world a better workplace, which will ultimately contribute to a healthier planet for us all.

"Did you know that 50-75% of people who quit their jobs really quit their bosses?" 

Are you a high performer ready for a promotion, a manager or director climbing the corporate ranks, a founder who’s busy growing your start-up, or a formal leader in any field, you need to retain talented employees and inspire them to contribute their very best at work. However, traditional command-and-control leadership methods are increasingly failing employees and hurting businesses. So, how do you lead compassionately and effectively in today’s rapidly shifting marketplace?

In Light a Fire in Their Hearts, Leadership and Career Advancement Specialist Lisa Anna Palmer guides you through the modern leadership journey. She shares powerful perspectives, techniques, and stories drawn from her own experiences and from over 30 other great leaders—a team of virtual mentors who impart their wisdom about how you can:
-   Understand the impact of leaders on people, the planet, and the bottom line.
-   Reflect on your leadership journey and envision how you want to show up as a leader.
-   Overcome challenges they don’t typically teach you about in business school.
-   Transform from a high-performing individual into a great people leader.
-   Use the “Light Your Leadership” approach to tap into the top competitive advantage in twenty-first century business.

Using a fun-to-read, conversational style, this enlightening book provides modern leaders (and leaders-to-be) with a guide for lighting a fire in the hearts of your employees, boosting morale and igniting engagement, and helping you and your company succeed.

Get your copy of Guide to Setting Healthy Boundaries

Exclusively free for the readers of Light a Fire in Their Hearts

In chapter 17 of Light a Fire in Their Hearts there is a section entitled "Beware of Boundary Pushers,” which states that there are people at work (both leaders and non-leaders) who have a talent for getting others to work way more than is reasonable or healthy. I call these “Boundary-Pushing Archetypes.” They employ many different tactics and approaches to manipulate you into working to meet unreasonable deadlines.

You can download the Guide to Setting Healthy Boundaries for a tongue-in-cheek look, along with accompanying worksheets. In it you will learn more about “The Sugar-Sweet Complimenter,’ “The Buddy,” “The Chicken,” “The Victim,” and “The Bossy-Boss,” who are among the cast of Boundary-Pushing Archetypes that can make your life as a manager miserable at work. By the same token, ask yourself whether you are behaving like any of these with your colleagues and employees.
