<p>The Mentally Strong Leader</p>

<p>“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</p>

<p>Train your brain for achievement.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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:</p>

<p>+ Fortitude</p>

<p>+ Decision-making</p>

<p>+ Confidence</p>

<p>+ Goal-focus</p>

<p>+ Boldness</p>

<p>+ Messaging</p>

<p>Inspired by Mautz’s hit LinkedIn Learning course, “10 Habits of Mentally Strong People,” his 25 years leading some of Procter &amp; 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.</p>
