Growing the Distance: Timeless Principles for Personal, Career, And Family Success

by Jim Clemmer

At home or in the workplace, change is an inevitable fact of life. How we choose to respond to it - as leaders or as followers - determines our personal and professional growth. Growing the Distance is about developing the leader within all of us. This helps us to continue "growing at the speed of change." A central theme of the book is that leadership is action, not a position. We all need to be leaders regardless of our formal title or role. This starts with inner self leadership and moves outward to influence, guide, support, and lead others. Leadership ultimately shows itself in what we do "out there," but it starts "in here."

I will start by saying that it is a beautiful book, lovely fonts, pieces arranged like poetry, art on the page. Lovely.
Content wise, everything here is stuff that people need to hear, it is quite an inspirational book. But for me, I'm past the inspirational stuff and I want to seem more concrete, here's how to do it stuff. There was a little tiny bit right near the end, and it at least left me interested in what else Clemmer has out there.

A book about what makes it being a leader - in personal and professional life. Good idea, nice stories to illustrate the message, but that is it.
