Synopsis

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.

Great read with a unique take on leadership. Kubicek offers very practical insight and wisdom on servant leadership and is not afraid to challenge the reader to self-assess. His suggestions and small "gut check exercises" help the reader identify themselves. He offers a roadmap leading to improved l......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 21, 2011

Warning, my review is somewhat skewed. I rarely ever finish books at two stars or below because I want to fill my head with really good books. This is a good book for mechanical reasons but a letdown on inspiration. Author Kubicek is a good writer and his subject matter is covered succinctly, howeve......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on October 28, 2020

As a leadership speaker, trainer and author, I must admit, the title shocks me, which is good. As a marketer I realize the value of the title, and I further recognize that the subtitle tells the further story about the premise of this book. This new title in the leadership genre is about leadership,......more
