The leader
humanity needs:
How to Lead with Heart and Become a Force for Good in the World

True leadership isn’t about power, it’s about people.

While most leadership books focus on strategy and success, The Leader Humanity Needs focuses on the soul of leadership, the part that changes people from the inside out.

Join Dr. Daniel Tataje as he shares his journey from immigrant dentist to founder of one of the fastest growing dental groups in America. Along the way, he discovered a surprising truth:

The most effective leaders are those who lead with heart.

You’ll learn how anyone, no matter their position, can become the kind of leader humanity needs—one who changes lives through compassion, courage, and faith.

  • Do you want to inspire those around you?
  • Do you want to lead with love, not fear?
  • Do you want to change lives?
