Mario McCracken
“This week at my leadership team meeting with my direct reports, I set the tone by being vulnerable and sharing with them my self-reflection of not being the leader I know I need to be. Then I followed your guidance on setting a vision statement, resetting our team expectations, defined accountability, created a strategic plan…I just wanted to say thank you. I knew the direction I wanted to go but your book really outlined it for me in the very best way. Feels so good to have a reset for 2020.”
Lesa Foster
Wow! This book is the right balance of insight and practical advice for today’s leaders. If you are going to read one book for 2020 to grow as a leader, this is the one. I’m reading through a second time and have made more notes in margins and pages than ever before. Inspired and encouraged as I can lead others more effectively through these methods taught. Just purchased 4 more for my managers!

Many argue that encouraging, supporting, mentoring and coaching is the primary responsibility of a leader John Eades has written a concise, readable, and practical blueprint for leadership that goes beyond the leader, describing ways to elevate followers to be successful. Eades uses rich narrative and common sense, along with qualitative examples to demonstrate how leaders can empower their teams. The chapter summaries are great for a quick review of the major points. Bonus: Eades provides additional resources through the book’s website. An excellent book for aspiring leaders and leaders who want to improve.
