The hottest new experiential learning strategies for new levels of leadership success
When individual leaders transcend their personal needs and focus on the needs of others and the overarching needs of the organization, the entire organization benefits. Employees at all levels become more committed — and thus, more effective. The result is not only greater job satisfaction for people at all levels in the organization, but greater productivity — regardless of the organization’s field, product, or service.
According to Ron Roberts, the strongest leaders are ones who are aware of their behaviors and how the way they act impacts others. As one of the top trainers in the world in the field of accelerated experiential learning, Ron has identified 9 basic human behavior pairs to bring themselves their leadership skills into balance—what he has termed Ego Librium (e.g., judgmental vs. accepting, defensive vs. nondefensive).
By understanding where they lie on each behavior scale, leaders immediately see where and how they need to change, and how they can use their greatest strength as the basis for the series of small behavioral changes that will lead to a new way of thinking — and instinctive new reactions to situations. In practice, Ron has seen that when leaders change their behavior to focus on others that their own levels of success greatly increase.
First, readers take a self-assessment to determine where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and see where they need to make adjustments. Then, they learn to use their greatest strength to begin developing an individualized program for change. Finally, the book provides experiential learning activities, action steps, games, and thought exercises for each behavior-pair. The method works because it breaks behavior down into manageable chunks readers can practice every day at work, until the new behavior becomes instinctive, even under pressure. People who use it experience a real change in consciousness — so when people need their new behaviors most, they don’t revert to old patterns. Leaders change from the inside out, which means that they create lasting permanent changes for themselves and their organizations.

Change your ATTITUDE. Change your BUSINESS. Change your FUTURE.
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.

IKEA’s former CEO reveals the unique strategy he used to lead his company to profit and growth through the worst global financial crisis in history
With Anders Dahlvig at the helm from 1999-2009, IKEA enjoyed unprecedented success. The furniture giant averaged 11% yearly sales growth and annual operating profits in excess of 10%. The company hired more than 70,000 new employees and opened new stores in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. All this in the midst of a global recession that hit the retail furniture industry particularly hard.
The IKEA Edge reveals the strategy Dahlvig used to thrive in both good and bad times—a combination of traditional business goals like profit and growth and the progressive interests of social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Dahlvig proves that these objectives, which are usually viewed as opposites, are not only compatible, but can work in harmony to benefit the organization, employees, customers, and the world at large.
Praise for The IKEA Edge
“A very good book from a talented business leader [that links] values, culture, and the achievement of business and social objectives together. I have read it now three times and learned something from every passage.”
—Michael Spence, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, 2001
“With Anders Dahlvig’s recommendations, we could solve many of the world’s problems by persuading the big multinationals to change their Memorandum and Articles of Association. Big business working in the interests of humanity would be a powerful tool.”
—Gordon Roddick, cofounder of The Body Shop
“The IKEA Edge is a fascinating case study of an entrepreneurial company’s growth to maturity. Anders Dahlvig is incisive and surprisingly straightforward in sharing the IKEA story. As a fourth-generation family business owner, I recognize the inherent paradox of building a ‘good,’ value-driven company and managing for profit. Anders Dahlvig proves it can be done.”
—Antonia Axson Johnson, Chairperson, Axel Johnson AB

Can you describe the purpose of your organization in a single sentence? More importantly…can your employees?
When an organization succeeds, it’s because the people who drive it know what they do and why they do it. As a leader, it’s your job to provide your people’s work with meaning. Yet the kind of attitude, commitment, and direction found in a workplace led by a clear sense of shared vision and direction is found at only the most successful, top tier organizations.
Based on in-depth research and interviews with business executives in multiple sectors—and featuring practical steps you can take to instill a sense of purpose throughout your organization—Lead with Purpose gives you the insight and guidance you need to ensure that your company succeeds in the new world economy.
Lead with Purpose illuminates the essential actions you must take to turn a sense of collective direction into a strategic advantage for you and your people, including how to:
- Instill purpose in others. Develop your peoples’ talents and skills, and harness their creativity and desire to succeed.
- Make your employees comfortable with ambiguity. In today’s business world, black and white is a luxury. Gray is the new norm. Live with it.
- Turn good intentions into great results. Turn ideas into practical applications that satisfy customer needs.
- Make it safe to fail (as well as prevail). It is ingenuity that turns ideas into practical concepts. Successful companies allow their work forces to experiment.
- Develop the next generation. The time to develop the next generation of leaders is now. Integrate leadership development into management as an ongoing process.
You’ll learn how to instill a sense of ownership from the top down, ensure that organizational purpose is understood and acted upon by all your people, encourage resourcefulness and flexibility, and communicate a narrative that will drive your organization from one success to another.
It’s your responsibility to provide those around you with a shared, focused sense of engagement and direction. This book provides you with a proven blueprint for leading your organization clear-eyed into the future.

Excerpt | Learn More
For the millions of people who are searching for greater meaning and intimacy in their lives, this book will help them to grow as leaders and as people—and to stay on course to their True North.
Drawing on recent research in psychology and sociology, George and Baker explain why these groups are so critical to our personal and professional success. They cover every detail from choosing members, establishing norms, and dealing with conflicts to evaluating progress and deciding when it’s time to restructure. True North Groups provides a wealth of practical resources, including suggested topics for the first twelve meetings advice on facilitating groups, techniques to evaluate group satisfaction, and much more.
“At various times,” George and Baker write, “a True North Group will function as a nurturer, a grounding rod, a truth teller, and a mirror. At other times the group functions as a challenger or an inspirer. When people are wracked with self-doubts, it helps build their courage and ability to cope.”
All too often, we find ourselves forced to confront life’s challenges on our own. What we need is an intimate group with whom we can examine our beliefs and share our lives. For the past thirty-five years, Bill George and Doug Baker have found the answer in True North Groups—small groups that gather regularly to explore members’ greatest challenges. These groups provide opportunities for the honest conversations essential to develop the self-awareness, compassion, emotional intelligence, and authenticity required to be inspired human beings and inspiring leaders.

The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership
Achieving and Sustaining Excellence through Leadership Development

Toyota’s success has inspired tens of thousands of organizations to adopt some form of a “lean” program. The term was introduced in The Machine that Changed the World and later in Lean Thinking as a new paradigm as monumental as the shift from craft-style to mass production. The focus of lean is always on the customer and the value stream. It is a pursuit of perfection by constantly eliminating waste through problem solving. Certainly an organization truly dedicated to becoming lean is on a path toward excellence. Yet, a large survey conducted by Industry Week in 2007 found only 2 percent of companies that have a lean program achieved their anticipated results. More recently the Shingo Prize committee that awards excellence in lean manufacturing went back to past winners and found many had not sustained their progress after winning the award. Why is the pursuit of excellence through lean not working.
In this book Liker and Convis argue the reason is a failure of effective leadership development. We do not believe it is just any type of leadership needed, but a very different view we will call lean leadership. Lean leaders were developed by Toyota naturally in Japan since the founding of the company. As they globalized they needed to figure out how to develop leaders in other cultures and make the method more explicit. Gary Convis was a leader that Toyota developed and then he began to develop others in Toyota and then later as he took over as the CEO of Dana. We develop a four-step model of developing lean leadership which is then the organizing framework of the book. We use stories from Toyota and later Dana to bring the lean leadership development cycle to life.

Every effective leader has his or her own personal style—but they all share one thing in common: Commitment. They know what commitments to make to motivate their teammates, build more productive organizations, and be the kind of leaders people want to work with.
But what exactly are great leaders committed to? The Three Commitments of Leadership delivers the answers that are the foundation of an evolution in the way human beings will lead for the future.
Written by a team of learning and development experts, this groundbreaking book provides a leadership model that will help you know where to pay attention, so every action you take has the impact you hope for. Too many leaders obsess over short-term profits, popularity, and pleasing boards, bosses, and special interests—when they should be obsessing over building lasting relationships and results.
TheThree Commitments of Leadershipdigs deep into what leaders must focus on to truly be exceptional:
- CLARITY—Creating a common understanding of what success looks like
- STABILITY—Providing the resources people need and building a culture of trust
- RHYTHM—Fostering a flow of work and an environment that feels natural
It’s simple—but not easy. Globalization, competition, and shrinking margins are making it tougher than ever to operate without deep engagement from every member of every team. The solution is a tenacious dedication to a straightforward way of leading that produces the outcomes you need and turns every teammate into a fellow leader, too.

It may be difficult to define, but we all know presence when we encounter it. Someone walks into the room and people step aside. Heads turn. When those with presence speak, people listen. When they ask, people answer. When they lead, people follow. People with presence look confident and comfortable, speak persuasively, think clearly even under pressure, and act with intention and integrity.
Presence is not something you have to be born with. It’s not about status symbols or position. It’s not about who you are but about how you are. And it’s something anyone can learn. Award-winning speaker and consultant Dianna Booher provides scores of practical tips on the physical qualities, communication techniques, thought processes, and attitudes that underlie powerful personal presence. This comprehen- sive guide will enable readers to become compelling leaders no matter what their current position.
Booher shows how to master the dozens of small and significant things that work together to convey personal presence. She details how dress, body language, manners, and even your surroundings enhance credibility and build rapport. You’ll learn to use voice and language to demonstrate competence and deliver clear and memorable messages, think strategically and organize ideas coherently, and relate to others in ways that convey genuine interest, respect, good humor, and reliability.
Personal presence can help you get a date, a mate, a job, or a sale. It can help you lead a meeting, a movement, an organization, or a nation. Presence can take you wherever you want to go. With Dianna Booher’s expert, entertaining advice, you can have the same kind of influence as the most successful CEOs, celebrities, and civic leaders.
