Great leaders removed barriers, they don’t add pressure.

[Merv Jersak @PeopleFirstPM]

Leadership starts with consistency (ok, it can start with many other traits, but consistency breeds so many of these).

How I opened my book, "Lead Smarter, Not Harder." Thoughts?
"The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born - that there is a genetic factor to leadership. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born." - Warren Bennis

@bookonlinetrav Shame on me for not paying attention to a sponsored site. Shame on you for not revealing that and then sending an email after the fact revealing additional fees. Unethical. Deceptive. Buyer beware.

Leadership isn’t a theory — it’s a daily practice.
Too many books stay in the head and never reach the heart.
"Lead Smarter, Not Harder" bridges that gap with real-world lessons that work.

Available on Amazon Nov 5.

I just counted them - 98!!!

98 specific stories/vignettes/illustrations from personal experience in the 19 chapters of my book, "Lead Smarter, Not Harder."

Practical leadership application with real-life stories makes for a great read.

My friend Larry Broughton, former U.S. Army Green Beret and leadership mentor wrote the forward for my new book. This excerpt caught my attention: "This book isn't theory - it's a field manual for leading with heart, mind, and purpose."

Thank you, Larry!
