Focus (Daniel Goleman)

£4.00

Focus by Daniel Goleman explores how the ability to direct and sustain our attention has become one of the most important skills for navigating modern life. Goleman examines three forms of focus: inner focus, which helps us understand ourselves and manage our emotions; focus on others, which strengthens empathy, relationships and connection; and outer focus, which helps us understand wider systems, environments and challenges. The book argues that attention is a skill that can be developed, and that learning to manage where we place our focus can improve decision-making, performance, relationships and leadership.

  • Mind Shift by Brian Solis connects strongly with GLAS through the idea that meaningful growth begins with awareness. GLAS encourages individuals and organisations to recognise when existing ways of thinking, working, or making decisions are no longer serving them. This aligns with Solis’ focus on challenging assumptions and developing a mindset that can adapt to changing environments. Through Harnessing Awareness and Art of Reflection, GLAS creates the space to understand what is changing, why it matters, and what may need to change internally in response.

    The book also connects to Leveraging Direction and Designing Your Next You, as adapting to change is not simply about reacting to what is happening around you. GLAS encourages a more intentional approach: understanding where you are, clarifying where you want to go, and making conscious choices about how you move forward. Rather than allowing technology, disruption, or external pressures to dictate the future, individuals and organisations can use awareness and purpose to shape their response. This turns change from something to manage into an opportunity for deliberate growth.

    Ultimately, Mind Shift reinforces the GLAS principle that sustainable growth requires both adaptability and alignment. Change without direction can create confusion, while direction without adaptability can become rigid. GLAS brings these together by helping people remain grounded in their values and purpose while being willing to rethink behaviours, strategies, and assumptions. In this sense, the mind shift is not simply about becoming better at responding to change — it is about developing the awareness, clarity, and resilience to continually evolve without losing sight of what matters.
