Chris Roebuck

Across the world millions of people aren’t inspired at work or given the opportunity to give their best and fulfill their potential because they have ineffective leaders. Many leaders aspire to be the best they can be but have never been given the tools to achieve that. Having an ineffective leader impacts on everyone, on their families, on their organization and the wider society through a waste of the potential to achieve more.

A few simple actions by these leaders would transform the working lives of those they lead for the better, enhance their team’s family lives, help their organizations succeed and deliver economic growth for their community. This book sets out on a mission to help leaders who wish to enable that transformation become reality and join the best of the global leadership community.

Lead to Succeed builds on Chris Roebuck’s first highly successful book – Effective Leadership – that was translated into 11 languages and used by the American Management Association as a “best practice” guide.

Jeff Nischwitz

Unmask is a road map for navigating your own personal journey as a leader in your business, career, relationships and life, and a must-read for any leaders seeking to enhance their influence. Jeff Nischwitz’s focus on what it means to be an authentic leader and, more important, what it takes to get there will help anyone grow in leadership, influence and impact. Jeff’s new concept of integrated leadership goes so far beyond traditional leadership strategies and tactics and introduces what he calls livingship—a new way of living, thinking and leading in every part of your life. It is this commitment to an entire life lived awake, aware and on purpose that unleashes the leaders our businesses and our world so desperately need.

Jeff Nischwitz is a forerunner of this change. In the words of leadership thought leader Tommy Spaulding, author of the New York Times bestseller It’s Not Just Who You Know, “It is so refreshing knowing the author of Unmask actually LIVES the message of this important book. Jeff Nischwitz not only introduces the world to Livingship, but he puts us all on a journey to living, leading and loving differently.”

Jeff’s transformational book is based on the truth that there is only one you and that same person is the leader of your business, your career and your life. As a result, your professional and personal leadership will be most determined by who you choose to be as a person, how committed you are to that choice and how accountable you are to that commitment. Leadership is about influence and impactful leaders are passionately committed to living lives of integrity and authenticity in order to unleash their true leaders. As C-Suite TV host, bestselling author and sometime cowboy Jeffrey Hayzlett said, “Unmask: Let Go of Who You’re ‘Supposed’ to Be & Unleash Your True Leader is such a good book, you are going to think you robbed a bank! Make a deposit for your career and read this book.”

Jeff Slutsky

Additionally, local businesses suffer from advertising price increases despite eroding audiences from the local media, especially newspapers, radio, and TV. This book could be the answer to your current and future marketing problems.

You’ll learn how to mold and manipulate traditional advertising methods while supplementing or supplanting them with alternative, novel techniques for lower cost and higher reward.

Josh Linkner

Companies, communities, and individuals fall for many reasons, but one of the most common–and easily avoidable–is the failure to reinvent. When people and organizations rest on prior successes rather than driving purposeful transformation, they discover too late that they have lost their market position altogether to competitors and external forces. The most successful companies, brands, and individuals make reinvention a regular part of their business strategies. Transformation demands an ongoing process of discovery and imagination, and The Road to Reinvention lays out a systematic approach for continually challenging and reinventing yourself and your business.

Venture capitalist and serial entrepreneur Josh Linkner identifies six elements in any business that are ripe for reinvention and shares examples, methods, and step-by-step techniques for creating deliberate, productive disruption. Throughout The Road to Reinvention , Linkner also explores the history–the great rise, unprecedented fall, and now rebirth–of his beloved hometown, Detroit. First rising to greatness as the result of breathtaking innovation, Detroit had generations of booming growth before succumbing to apathy, atrophy, and finally bankruptcy. Now, the city is rising from the ashes and driving sustainable success through an intense focus on reinvention. Linkner brings an insider’s view of this incredible story of grit, determination, and creativity, sharing his perspective on Detroit’s successes and setbacks as a profound example of large-scale organizational and personal transformation.

Change is inevitable. You need to decide: Will you drive that change, or be driven away by it? Will you disrupt or be disrupted? By choosing to deliberately reimagine your own status quo, you can secure a strong future for both your company and your career.

Karen Friedman

In today’s high-tech world, there are more ways than ever before to communicate: email, text messaging, voicemails, blogs, tweets, video conference calls, and remote meetings. But one thing is still exactly the same as in the old days: there are effective and ineffective ways to express yourself. All business professionals need to know how to communicate clearly, concisely, and passionately if they want their intended message to impact others.

Shut Up and Say Something shows readers how to convincingly communicate their expertise in any business situation. This book demonstrates how to condense complicated concepts, minimize communication mistakes, avoid misinterpretation, convey vision, and quickly influence decision makers. Strategies for expressing yourself succinctly and clearly, dodging “loaded” questions, thinking fast on your feet, humanizing inscrutable information, and using humor to engage an audience are examples of the topics covered. The importance of prioritizing outcomes is emphasized throughout the book.

Michelle Tillis Lederman

Michelle Tillis Lederman shows how networking can be as easy, enjoyable, and fulfilling as having a conversation with friends—and still be highly beneficial to career goals.

“When networking feels like something you have to do rather than want to do, it’s hard to motivate yourself to do it at all, let alone do it well,” acknowledges Lederman. In her book, THE 11 LAWS OF LIKABILITY: Relationship Networking…Because People Do Business with People They Like she will show you just how to achieve those relationships in business that last.

Forget the conventional emphasis on business transactions, work-related topics, targeted objectives, and self-serving thoughts. Lederman encourages networkers to radically shift their thinking and place a priority on something everyone can relate to, something at the heart of honest, engaging conversations and meaningful connections: liking and being liked.

This book, featuring activities, self-assessment quizzes, and real-life anecdotes from professional and social settings, shows readers how to identify what’s likable in themselves and create honest, authentic interactions that become “wins” for all parties involved.

Readers will discover how to:

  • – Start conversations and keep them going with ease
  • – Convert acquaintances into friends
  • – Uncover people’s preferences and tweak their own personal style to enable engaging, reciprocal interactions
  • – Create follow-up and stay in others’ minds long after the initial meeting

The worst thing we can do when trying to establish a personal bond with someone is to come across as manipulative or self-serving. Authentic connections go much deeper—and feel much easier—than trying to hit self-imposed business card collection quotas. This book presents a new paradigm that shows how even the most networking-averse can network…and like it.

Ted Rubin

In today’s digital world it’s all too easy for us as brands and individuals to let our relationship-building muscles atrophy. We get caught up in a multitasking whirlwind of emails, social updates and text messages where it’s easy to let a connection or a conversation fall through the cracks. We’re super-connected, yet somehow disconnected at the same time. This puts us at risk of losing the very relationships that help us prosper as companies and people.

In How to Look People in the Eye Digitally, Ted Rubin re-introduces us to the one-on-one communication skills we’ve forgotten in our rush to new technologies. He shows us how we’ve let social and mobile technologies hold us back, and teaches us new ways to use the people skills we already have to stay connected in an authentic, human way. Through anecdotes from his own experiences as a busy, socially connected executive and single dad, plus examples from brands that are getting it right, Ted inspires new ways to build relationships online that truly grow and prosper.
