Dave Ferguson

Employees rarely go to work to follow anyone for more than money. They certainly aren’t there to follow the vision of the person in charge. But you can change that!

In Boss or Leader, internationally recognized leadership coach and speaker, Dave Ferguson, cleverly defines the difference between a boss and a leader. In his direct, no-nonsense way, he uses his experience as a leader and as a leadership coach to help you first decide if you are a boss or a leader, then goes on to coach you on how to grow as a leader.

It’s not about how to be liked by your employees, nor is it about how to manage or supervise people. This book is about how to become a leader people will respect and be willing to follow. It’s also about developing leaders and identifying potential leaders. If you are in a leadership position, or want to be in one, then this book is for you.

Guy Snodgrass

Learn how to be a leader in your own life and career with expert advice from one of the Navy’s elite TOPGUN instructors.

During a twenty-year career in uniform, Guy Snodgrass became one of the most skilled fighter pilots in the U.S. Navy, commanding combat jets over some of the most dangerous war zones in the world — and he did it all using the lessons he learned at the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN).

The real-life inspiration for the blockbuster films Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School trains the top one percent of our nation’s fighter pilots. Over the course of twelve weeks, these pilots are drilled on aerial tactics, combat, and skills required to win in any organization. Ordinary people are transformed into world-class leaders. Pilots, like Commander Snodgrass, who remain on staff as TOPGUN instructors, are held to even higher and more demanding standards.

In TOPGUN’s Top 10, Commander Snodgrass distills some of the most important lessons he’s learned and taught over the course of his career into a taut, engaging book for readers of all ages and experience levels. It’s the perfect gift for anyone looking to change careers, excel in the workplace, or find their way in the world after college graduation. Smart, practical, and direct, Snodgrass’s account of real TOPGUN experience will inspire a new generation of leaders.

Rob Hartnett

THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE IN BUSINESS AND LIFE
Positive Attitude And Willingness To Take Action Are Key

In a world of constant change, people can feel overwhelmed about navigating their way through life. As leadership and management expert Rob Hartnett shows in IT’S ALL POSSIBLE: How To Lead An Epic Life And Unleash The High Performance Hero Within You, anyone, from the C-Suite to the classroom, is capable of leading a rich, meaningful life once they’ve identified their goals and developed a strategy for achieving them.

“The world needs more Possibility Seekers who can become Possibility Leaders and adopt the Art of the Possible by asking ‘How might we?’ as opposed to ‘Why would we?’” says Hartnett, who’s had a stellar career with HP, Miller Heiman, and the John Maxwell team. “‘How might we?’ is aspirational, inspirational, hopeful and positive.”

Hartnett believes anything is possible if one is intentional. To intentionally grow, people need the three Ds of intentionality:

Desire They have to really want it
Discipline They have to be prepared to do the work
Determination They have to be prepared to push through when challenged

Blending stories and insights from his own experience as a management consultant and as an international competitive sailor and cyclist, Hartnett has written a groundbreaking book about personal leadership, human potential, being one’s best, and achieving the most out of life.
