THE BOOK
The Human Next to You.
Executive Self-Leadership for Legacy Capital Continuity · Clara Vanine
The Human Next to You connects the leader's inner life with how people are treated, how culture is experienced, and what is passed to the next generation. We insure our buildings, secure our data, and guard our capital, yet often overlook the one asset carrying everything we build: the human beside us.
At its center is the VA9 CONNECTED Framework™, nine values a leader can practice: Center, Own, Notice, Nourish, Embrace, Commit, Tend, Elevate, and Deliver.
Given freely
The book is offered as a complimentary digital edition so that anyone may read it and use the framework for their own self-leadership, under the permissions stated in the edition. Professional application through summits, programs, and speaking is arranged separately through the Forum's Programs.
