Hacking Leadership - 9781118817414

Everyone has blind spots. The purpose of this book is to equip leaders at every level with an actionable framework to identify blind spots and close leadership gaps. The bulk of the book will be based on actionable, topical leadership and management hacks to bridge eleven gaps every business needs to cross: leadership, purpose, future, mediocrity, culture, talent, knowledge, innovation, expectation, complexity, and failure. Each chapter will:

• Give readers specific techniques to identify, understand, and most importantly, implement individual, team and organizational solutions.
• Address blind spots and leverage points most managers haven’t thought about, but left unaddressed, adversely impacting growth, development, and performance. All leaders have blind-spots (gaps), which often go undetected for years or decades, and sadly, even when identified the methods for dealing with them are outdated and ineffective – they need to be hacked.
• Showcase case studies from the author’s consulting practice, serving as a confidant with more than 150 public company CEOs. Some of those corporate clients include: AT&T, Bank of America, Deloitte, EMC, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, PepsiCo, and other leading global brands.
