In contemplating our personal and professional journeys, we all have encountered individuals who have significantly influenced us, propelling us toward greater success. These individuals, the Elevated Leaders, have not only guided us but ignited our personal growth, underscoring their profound impact.What sets these Elevated Leaders apart? What actions or words have they used to make such a profound impact? The answers to these questions are encompassed in The Six Core Elements of Elevated Leadership, a framework we will delve into in this book. Leadership voids occur on a regular basis, in ourselves, our teams, and our organizations, impeding progress toward our goals, and often our personal well-being. No one leader or select group of leaders will ever be capable of preventing or filling all the leadership voids that occur. It takes a team of leaders. Leadership is a collective effort. The key to elevation lies in nurturing the leadership potential of everyone across the organization. The power of E3C3 lies in its simplicity, practicality, scalability, and impact when leading ourselves, leading others, or leading other leaders. When these six elements are embraced and exemplified by all with the right mindset and heart-set, they have the transformative power to elevate you, your team, and your organization to new heights of effectiveness. They also foster a culture of respect, trust, and inclusivity as you strive for the summit.
Mark is an award-winning author born in Philadelphia and educated at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.
After spending 35 years as a leader in the public sector, Mark has turned his attention toward examining and writing on America's cultural and social issues.
His opinionated, muckraking style of writing exposes the underbelly of business and political practices. While he explores mainly American economics, business, education, and politics, Mark’s focus is on the difficulties of getting by in America, especially for the middle class. Sociological patterns underlying business, cultural, and political behaviors are analyzed through a critical, sarcastic, and sometimes humorous lens.
America, We Have the Country We Want, is a set of centrist observations and reflections intended to entertain and enlighten with commentary on some of today's most talked about social issues: business, education, society, religion & guns, and the media. Mark shares why he believes Americans are comfortable with the familiar, even when the familiar is bad for us.
Mark's newest book, America We Need a Raise examines America's disappearing middle class and offers a set of remedies to offset poor political and business decision making. Middle class income continues to shrink while the prices of commodities and services grow. Higher paying middle class skilled jobs have been replaced with low paying retail and service work. It doesn’t have to be this way. Mark’s proposed solutions could vastly improve the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans and their descendants while at the same time strengthen America’s economy.
