Book excerpt: ***** SAVE WHEN YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AT https://store.cpatrendlines.com/shop/accountaneur/ ***** Advance Praise for Accountaneur(r) "Accountants need to be more than just accountants and Hitendra creates a way for accountants to look at themselves. He calls it the Accountaneur(r). This book contains a great deal of new thought about what accountants should be doing. It is a required read for all professionals, partners, and non-partners. Leaders at accounting firms have a huge responsibility to create a business environment conducive to growth and achievement, not just at their firms, but especially for their clients. Hitendra brings a perspective that helps accounting firm leaders find answers to key questions that will lead to entrepreneurial achievement."- August J. Aquila, CEO, AQUILA Global Advisors LLC, consultant to professional service firms, author, and speaker. "What impressed me the first time I met Hitendra is his drive to help others reach their potential. This book does just that. You will learn and appreciate what an important role the accountant plays in our business and personal lives. Hitendra makes the profession come alive. If you are in the accounting profession, or thinking about it, you must read this book!"- Chester Elton, New York Times best-selling author of "The Carrot Principle," "All In," and "What Motivates Me" "Entrepreneurs create wealth and opportunities for others. Entrepreneurial accountants make it possible for entrepreneurs. Accountaneur(r) is a probing question bank for accountants who want to be entrepreneurial."- Allan D. Koltin, CPA, CEO, Koltin Consulting Group Inc. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? Think different. Taking a cue from several research studies across different professions and industries that identify traits, strengths, talents, skills, values, and beliefs, we identify the most common attitudes and beliefs of successful accountants who can be deservedly called as entrepreneurs in the true sense of the word. An Accountaneur is an entrepreneur whom, with considerable initiative and risk, organizes and manages a business that provides tax, accounting, and advisory services to solve problems for people, for profit, or, for pay, by employing productive labor and technologies. So, the difference between an Accountaneur(r) and an accountant lies in his or her traits, strengths, talents, skills, values and beliefs. There are three types of people in the professional world. Those who work for others, i.e. in a job. Those who work for themselves, i.e. who create a job for themselves. And those who create jobs for others. An Accountaneur(r) either works for him or herself or is the one who creates jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? If you work for yourself or if you have created jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession, you are an entrepreneur, rather an Accountaneur. You are an Accountaneur if you chose not take up a job, but chose instead to create a business. More at http://cpatrendlines.com/author/patil

The book provides examples of leaders - from around the globe - who lead through the Carrot Principle: providing plentiful how-to's for managers wishing to get started or hoping to enhance their recognition abilities. Overall, there has never been a book in the recognition or motivation space that has had this type of quantitative or case study support.

Download or read book Leadership at Its Strongest written by August J. Aquila and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selection of a managing partner in a professional services firm -- especially in accounting and law -- is just too important and too complex to leave to chance. With the scale of the challenges firms are facing, no firm can afford not to identify and develop a group of partners with the ability to successfully take on the role of managing partner in the future. This monograph lays the groundwork to show firms how to do it -- based on hundreds of interviews with already highly successful managing partners. The right person to lead a major geographic, cross-cultural expansion isn't necessarily the right person to take tough decisions to correct reducing financial performance or to deal with significant changes in the firm's business model in response to changes in technology and low cost competition. For firms, the key is to identify a number of potential managing partners and give them experience of operating in different contexts, which can then be used to determine who is most suited to the challenges the firm faces at the time of the managing partner's appointment and during their likely tenure. Making the right call, choosing the right managing partner, is critical to every firm's future success. Successful managing partners are strong and effective leaders. Leaders whose picture of the future excites and energizes the firm's partners and people, who help everyone, clients and people, to exceed their expectations and whose personal performance personifies everything the firm stands for. There's no getting away from the fact that being a managing partner is a tough job. But with clarity around the behaviors that deliver success, every managing partner now has a chance to truly make a difference
