Elite executive leaders use proven tools to lead their team and experience greater success!
If you are like most executive leaders, you have experienced a challenge or run into a wall that you were not prepared for. You may be struggling to determine priorities. You may have challenges identifying future leaders and equipping them for upcoming opportunities. You may be asking the question, how do I communicate with those I lead, those who lead me, and my peers?
In this book, you will find tested and proven solutions for executive leadership problems. I know these are tested and proven solutions because I have implemented them in my leadership, and I have taught my clients to do the same in their organizations.
I gave myself three rules when I wrote this book. 1. I will only share what I know to be beneficial based on my experience coaching and training highly successful leaders. 2. I will share true stories, but I will change the names and industries to protect my clients. 3. I will give practical tips that can immediately be put into practice.
I am not a natural-born leader. I had to read many books, attend an outrageous number of meetings, webinars, and training, and paid tens of thousands of dollars to earn degrees to learn what I know today about leadership. I say that because I want you to know that it is normal to be in a leadership role and feel in over your head. This book will give you the tools necessary to lead your team and experience greater success! – Drew T. Jackson
My first impression of this book came from the title itself. When I see the word Executive, I instinctively think of those in the C-suite of very large corporations. Thankfully, the author addresses this in the first paragraphs of the text. It turns out, the book is aimed at a much larger audience than I initially thought and is very accessible with its concise and digestible chapters, real-world examples, and poignant, lead-in quotes. The questions punctuating each chapter make the book a good choice for discussion groups or journaling. As a business and leadership coach myself, this book occupies a place on my shelf and on my recommended reading list next to titles such as From Supervisor to Super Leader. To cite John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership, I recommend this book to those leaders that want to take their leadership level from position (must follow) to permission (want to follow).
