What can loss teach us about leadership? In Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies, dozens of contributing authors explore this question by reflecting on the lives and legacies of those they’ve lost.
Guided by lead author Ian Ziskin, this unique project is more than a book about grief—it’s a roadmap for resilience, growth, and leadership. Drawing on survey responses from 150 leaders, as well as research into the neuroscience of grieving, Ziskin and the essay contributors unpack how loss transforms us, not only as individuals but also as leaders. Together, their voices share heartfelt stories of how the lives—and deaths—of “special somebodies” shaped their personal and professional journeys.
As a reader, you can expect the following from Lives Lost and Leadership Found:
- Broad and diverse perspectives from people who have experienced loss and learned how to be a better person and leader
- Real-life stories and lessons from real personal circumstances packed with emotion, insight, and wisdom
- Practical translation into useful learning and action that will make you a stronger person and a better leader
- Confidence and inspiration that you are not alone—in loss of a loved one or in your role as a leader.
