The Human Operating System: Recovering the Heart and Soul of Your Leadership

By Jack Nicholson & Dr. Rob Murray

The Human Operating System is like the Amazon in that it flows through the heart of leadership development like a mighty river. Applying the five transformative principles and processes in the HOS is so much more effective than hacking through the forest of leadership trade books, workshops, and management techniques. Many of these tools can be helpful, but they often function more like “Apps” or accessories rather than a deeper Operating System that can offer meaning, direction, and coherence to everything you might do as a Leader.

Jack Nicholson and Rob Murray have been developing the Human Operating System over many years of work with executive leaders, teams, and organizations. The deep change process and principles embedded in the Human Operating System have made a significant difference with leaders who have become frustrated, depleted, and fragmented, trying to build enterprises with tools and resources no longer sufficient.

Fighting for Heart: How emotional intelligence can transform the way you live, love, and lead

By Dr. Rob Murray

Leaders are tired and don't know what to do about it. For far too long, they've built their lives and work around some version of the same message, "Get up, get out there, and deliver results. You can't stop, and don't you dare drop.” No matter how hard they try, it is never enough — they are never enough. It’s exhausting, but what if it doesn’t have to be?

Fighting for Heart shows leaders how to harness the power of their hearts to transform the way they live, love, and lead.

Drawing on his extensive research and experience working with high-capacity leaders, Dr. Rob Murray offers individuals, teams, and organizations a practical roadmap for recovering their hearts using the Heart-Engaged EQ System.

The Heart-Engaged EQ System will help leaders:

  • Integrate their head (IQ) with their heart (EQ) to create lasting transformation

  • Deepen their connection with themselves and others for greater effectiveness

  • Embrace their meaning and purpose and influence those around them

In a time when the world desperately needs heart-based leadership, Rob Murray makes a compelling case to corporate leaders that getting to know and express feelings is key to their success.
