"Taking the Lead and Keeping It"

Why You Need This Book

This book will help you measure your own effectiveness as a leader and provide practical guidance on applying these principles in your professional and even personal lives.

LEADERS COME IN ALL SORTS OF PACKAGES

If you want to contribute to society and make a difference for as many people as possible, figure out your strengths, what you love to do, and how you can purposely place yourself in a position to add the most value. As Albert Einstein said, “Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value.”

Become a person of value. Anyone can be a leader. Anyone can add value. Everyone should be a leader. Everyone should do his or her best to add value. Being a leader is up to us. It is our responsibility to seek congruent leadership roles, so we can make the biggest possible contribution to life, while here on earth.

DO YOU HAVE A TRUTH TRACK RECORD?

What is your truth track record? Can people count on you to “tell it like it is?” Have you told white lies because you thought it was in the best interests of employees? Hedging the truth, even when done with the best of intentions, often backfires because it means people will forever wonder if we’re spinning the facts for convenience sake.

The good news is, even if we’ve been less than honest in the past, we can “come clean.” Pull a mea culpa. Mea Culpa means “my fault” in Latin. People will often forgive us for past transgressions if we confess and proclaim our intentions to do better.

It comes down to this. Do you want to be trusted? Then tell the truth. People may not enjoy hearing it; but they’ll give you credit for having the courage and decency to tell it.
