management thinkers in the world, according to the
Financial Timesfollows up her bestseller Hot Spots (over

These are individuals in organizations who radiate energy
and attract others to them, who can create, find, and
flourish in hot spots of innovation. Drawing on years of

to your organization, and do so in a way that will make
your work more satisfying and fulfilling.

Industry Reviews

"In both up and down economies, people need to feel energized and innovative. Rather than depend on others for this "glow," Lynda defines three principles and nine actions that help people engage in work. Lynda writes with practical passion that helps the reader turn the ideas into practice. Glow is timely, insightful, and helpful."
-Dave Ulrich Professor of Business Administration, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and Partner, The RBL Group

"Warm and encouraging, Lynda lays out a wise path for living well in today's connected, global world. For young adults, Glow's practical examples translate skills from your personal life into a rewarding work experience. For older adults concerned about remaining viable in a changing world, the book's thoughtful tools and reassuring themes provide the confidence for continued success."
-Tamara Erickson, author of Plugged In: The Generation Y Guide to Thriving at Work and Retire Retirement: Career Strategies for the Boomer Generation

-Marc Silvester, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Service Innovation, Fujitsu, and coauthor of Living Service

"Research shows that people perform their best and innovate the most when they feel excited and challenged. Glow is a provocative and insightful guide- book to engagement that will help you ignite your future."
-Richard Boyatzis, Professor in the Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology and Cognitive Science, Case Western Reserve University, and coauthor of Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence and Resonant Leadership: Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope, and Compassion
