Grief is somewhere in every workplace. One employee may be mourning the death of a family member. Another may be missing a manager or close coworker who's died or taken another job. Still another may be going through a divorce or coping with a serious illness.

Would you know how to support a grieving team member and enable them to transition successfully back to work after a devastating loss? Do you understand how to balance their needs with those of the rest of the team and the organization as a whole? If you experienced a shattering loss, would you know how to manage your grief while continuing to lead?

Leading Through Loss provides practical tools and ideas from leaders at all levels who've dealt with grief at work and offers insight into the perspective and experience of grieving employees: what they need and want, what helps and what hurts, what support they were grateful for and what they wish their leaders had done differently.
