Book Description

If you want to attract and inspire people to get the job done with loyalty, dedication, quality, and to enjoy the process, you don’t need another book telling you that you need grit, integrity, or any other skill that everyone knows helps.

You want those skills!

… but reading about integrity doesn’t give you integrity.

Leadership Step by Step is the first book to give you exercises to develop the skills of effective leaders—to develop your vision, speak authentically, attract talent, build teams, inspire people, and support them so they want you to lead them again, and more. You don’t learn basketball by reading about basketball. You learn by practicing the basics and playing.

Leadership Step by Step gives you the leadership equivalent of layups and jump shots: a series of exercises from basic to advanced. Step by step, you will develop the skills of great leaders, though experience, what leadership guru Marshall Goldsmith calls

a once-in-a-lifetime game-changing advance in our field everyone else will follow. It’s better than business school courses.
