Leadership is Dead
“Where are the great leaders of our time? The world needs a new paradigm
for leadership—Jeremie Kubicek has defined it. If you needed to dig a
ditch, would you use a teaspoon or a bulldozer? Until now, leaders have
been using a teaspoon. Every leader should read this book!”
Matthew Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Dream Manager and president of Floyd Consulting
Leadership is alive when it is used for others. It dies when it is all about you. Anyone can make an impact. All you need is influence—the most potent professional asset on the planet. The problem is that influence is also the most underused asset on the planet. And the primary reason is that the enemy of influence is a universal human trait: self-preservation. You guard your ideas, your status, and your reputation. Within your self-constructed walls you must cast safer visions, take smaller risks, and accept shallower relationships to ensure the security of all you are protecting. This is the downside of self-preservation: While your walls protect you and yours from demise, they also restrict your influence. You must break down your walls of self-preservation and sacrifice your security for the sake of others. Only then does the escalating paradox of personal generosity come into play: The more you give, the more you receive. This audio book shows that the key to effective leadership is learning how to influence in a way that engenders greater trust, stronger partnerships, and more impactful endeavors.
