GRIEF
LEADERSHIP

The emerging discipline at the intersection
of grief and leadership.

Every workplace is touched by GRIEF.

Grief Leadership helps leaders recognize how loss shapes people, teams, and organizations and respond in ways that sustain humanity, culture, and performance.

How you show up for people during the hardest moments of their lives is everything. In Grief Leadership, Mindy Corporon takes a personal tragedy and turns it into constructive lessons for all of us. Listening, emotional safety, and caring are all characteristics of a strong leader. Mindy walks us through how those traits can shine through, even in the darkest hours.

Peter Mallouk, President & CEO of Creative Planning

We all experience loss and transition in life; we all face grief, letting go, and the challenge of finding a new way forward. The workplace is often where we are expected to silently carry our losses, fears, caregiving responsibilities, trauma, and deep emotional transitions. Mindy Corporon has written a courageous and deeply practical book for leaders who want to meet grief with compassion, clarity, and strength. Grief Leadership shows that presence, listening, storytelling, and emotional connection are not soft skills; they are the foundation of resilient people and high-performing organizations. This is a powerful guide for becoming a secure base for others in moments of loss, fear, and uncertainty.

Mindy Corporon has taken an unimaginable personal tragedy and turned it into a powerful discipline for leading with humanity and heart. Her book Grief Leadership speaks to the reality that grief touches every one of us; and true leadership, at its core, is about caring for people and supporting them through life’s most difficult seasons. In doing so, we help others discover the power of resilience and the strength to move forward. Grief Leadership reinforces my belief that the best leaders understand that life’s challenges don’t stop at the workplace door. Meeting people where they are with empathy and compassion can play an important role in their healing journey. That belief was shaped by my parents, especially my late mother, whose strength, grace, and commitment to caring for others continue to influence the way I lead today. Mindy Corporon’s story is both moving and instructive. Her book is an insightful read for current and aspiring leaders because it speaks to a truth I hold deeply: When we genuinely care for people and do right by them, everything else falls into place.

As a pastor who has cared for grieving people for 38 years, I found Mindy Corporon’s Grief Leadership to be a compelling, beautifully written, and practical guide for all who care for those who mourn. Every leader, manager, and HR director should read this book.
