What’s stopping you from making the changes your business needs to thrive? The most dangerous move in business is the failure to make a move at all. The history of business is filled with companies that are no more because their leaders refused to enact change when the writing was on the wall. Fear. Apathy. Lack of personal responsibility. These simple human flaws can turn a good company into a dead company. The writing on the wall has never been clearer than it is now—and marketing phenomenon Jeffrey Hayzlett is on a mission to make you see it, understand it, and heed it. Today’s business environment is so competitive and volatile that you can’t afford to be satisfied with business as usual. You must make changes now to compete in the future. Building on the principles and concepts in his first book The Mirror Test, Hayzlett takes you on a step-by-step journey to: Develop a “takeover mentality” for your business Summon the vision and courage necessary for driving change Sharpen the mental and emotional toughness to make strategic, lasting change Execute the right changes and deal with any disruptions they might cause Sustain and manage your company’s new-found momentum Change is already happening all around you—to products, to organizations, to entire industries. Eventually, it will happen to your company, whether from outside forces or your own initiative. You’ve always had the ability to institute positive change in your company. Now, with Running the Gauntlet, you have the inspiration and knowledge to make it happen and take control of it—instead of letting it control you.

Download or read book The Pilot written by Bill Hensley and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2011 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurs and professional Pilots Bill and Colleen Hensley take readers on a thrilling ride that will fundamentally change the way they think about leadership. A reader-friendly format that blends storytelling with crucial leadership insights. Through the actions of fictional student pilots and instructors, the authors demonstrate the leadership skills that they have seen through decades of firsthand experience, translated from the cockpit to the business world. It's a novel technique -- think Stephen Covey meets Top Gun -- that keeps readers engaged in the message and shows rather than tells how the best leaders operate. Each chapter ends in a debrief that distils the lessons from the previous pages and confronts the reader with perspective-changing questions. An individual-focused presentation of high-stakes leadership concepts, intended for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and managers. The Pilot is punctuated with concise, focused discussions of practical applications that leaders at all levels can begin to use immediately. Readers will find it an invaluable how-to on specific techniques that help them perform flawlessly under extreme pressure in any situation.
