Thermostatic Leadership: Setting the Tone, Inspiring Balance, and Igniting Growth

Are you a thermostat or a thermometer? This groundbreaking book introduces the concept of thermostatic leadership, a fresh approach to leading with intention, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. Much like a thermostat regulates the environment with subtle adjustments, great leaders influence their teams and organizations with quiet yet powerful precision.

Sheri Holt, an experienced DEI professional and leadership coach, draws from decades of real-world experience to unpack the skills that define thermostatic leaders. Through engaging anecdotes, practical tools, and thought-provoking insights, this book explores how leaders can:

• Foster trust and psychological safety.
• De-escalate tension and resolve conflicts with a restorative mindset.
• Reignite motivation in stagnant environments.
• Balance firmness with compassion to create enduring cultures of balance and innovation.

Complete with exercises, reflection prompts, and actionable strategies, Thermostatic Leadership equips leaders at every level to assess and adjust their leadership "temperature" to meet the needs of their people and goals. Whether you're managing a small team or driving change across an organization, this book will inspire you to lead with impact, integrity, and heart.

Discover the quiet power of thermostatic leadership and learn how to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
