It illustrates how teachers can both lift people up and let them down. It proposes that the best teachers are also leaders, and the best leaders are also teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn examining how to lead and teach, renowned Harvard Business School professor Thomas J. DeLong takes the reader inside his own head and heart. He notes that, as teachers, we often focus more on our inadequacies and missteps than on our strengths and unique talents. He explains why this is so by dissecting and analyzing his own experiences--using himself as a case study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's goal is to help readers learn about the intricacies of teaching and managing, and to impart lessons about how teachers can create a unique teaching atmosphere. To do this, the author analyzes the process of creating a curriculum, preparing for an eighty-minute class, managing the fifteen minutes before class begins, and evaluating the nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, he connects specific classroom behaviors with leadership issues--in organizations, in teams, and in personal relationships. He also asks--and answers--some provocative questions, such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat happens on multiple levels when I teach or lead--with me, students, or professionals?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat am I thinking and feeling as I process what students are thinking and feeling?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow are my internal conversations affecting how I teach and lead?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do I manage my biases, including having \"favorite\" students?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo what extent can I use teaching methods in the arena of management?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eTeaching by Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, DeLong discusses why empathy and authenticity matter. When teachers embrace this mindset, students have the opportunity to have a unique learning experience. Teachers and managers will learn how to create moments of transformation for students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a university professor, a student, a business leader, or just someone fascinated by teaching, this book will instruct, entertain, and--hopefully--inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas J.
