The Mentally Strong Leader: Build the Habits to Productively Regulate Your Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors

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 leadership superpower of our times. Mentally strong leaders are in control of themselves and their environment; they have endurance, are disciplined, and external stressors make their decision-making sharper.

The Mentally Strong Leader gives listeners a mental exercise plan to become such a leader. Listeners will walk away with a menu of over fifty proven tools they can choose from to build a tailored set of habits in six areas that will make them mentally stronger: fortitude, decision-making, confidence, goal-focus, boldness, and messaging.

Inspired by Mautz's hit LinkedIn Learning course, "10 Habits of Mentally Strong People," his twenty-five years leading some of Procter & Gamble's multi-billion-dollar businesses, and over thirty years of studying this topic, The Mentally Strong Leader relies on data and research, habit-building science, and practical tools and exercises to create enduring understandings for listeners. Mautz begins with an explanation of the power of mental strength and offers a Mental Strength Self-Assessment. He finishes by providing a Mental Action Plan (MAP) to help listeners create their own, tailored practice.
