The Leader's Pyramid by Joseph Garcia Pdf

In his book, The Leader's Pyramid, Joseph Garcia provides a leadership tool that is both easy to remember and easy to apply to most management situations. Garcia offers proven leadership success based on a challenging military career and while serving as a CFO for a national nonprofit and most recently as the "Katrina CFO" for FEMA in New Orleans for three years. Garcia's Leader's Pyramid tool has allowed him to do his part to meet extraordinary mission requirements in extraordinary places. The Leader's Pyramid is built and grounded on proven principles and is valuable to all types of leaders -- experienced manager or newly promoted supervisor. Joseph blends his "walked in a leader's shoes" perspective with extensive research and academic principles. He taught a Leadership course at the Air Force Academy and received his Executive Masters in Leadership from Georgetown University. His desired outcome for his readers is a balanced and consistent approach to leadership. Using the Leader's Pyramid construct has allowed Joseph to be consistent in how he reaches decisions, especially tough ones involving people concerns, because he follows the same decision-making process. At the same time, he has gained the proper balance in his leadership focus and actions since his Leader's Pyramid allocates a 60/30/10 percentage mix for the Mission, People, and Ego factors respectively. Proof of Garcia's "recipe for success" includes many organizational and individual awards, including the "Male Boss of the Year" through the Federal Women's Awards Program. Joseph builds the Leader's Pyramid with his readers one block at a time, using his wealth of personal experiences along with illustrating scenarios that helps explain and reinforce the Mission, People, and Ego components. Garcia even uses the Leader's Pyramid to advocate how to become a better spouse, parent, and well-rounded individual. Finally, his "pyramid maintenance tips" promote continuous professional and personal development. In short, Garcia takes his readers on an enjoyable learning journey throughout The Leader's Pyramid.

What makes someone a great leader? Global leadership expert Cash Keahey believes you have much in common with a great leader no matter who you are. Keahey focuses on leadership lessons from eight 'great' or 'near great' occupants of the White House, enabling you to discover and leverage your authentic leadership style. Dissecting successful presidents based on the assessments of 120 presidential historian-experts and accompanying analyses, Cash reveals how their diverse personality types left indelible marks on the United States. Artfully constructed profiles allow you to identify with one or more of American history's monumental figures. Once drawn into the Oval Office, you'll come away with new insights on how personality type impacts leadership on the world stage and in your own life. Cash Keahey is a global leader-architect, helping leaders craft a personal leadership brand. ''Every leader is an exception to the rule, '' he declares, ''which requires you to truly know yourself.''

The Legacy Leader by Anthony Lopez Pdf

These fundamentals are character, integrity, and ethics. When these are compromised, the leader will never achieve all that they could have. Learning the mechanics of leadership is important. Leaders need to know how to develop strategies based on a well-developed vision. They must understand communication, empowerment, delegation, and other fundamental principles of good leadership. However, what they must always keep in the forefront of their thinking is why they lead. What is their purpose in leading? Many of today's contemporary leadership books concern themselves with the mechanics of leadership. Few have given consideration to the true purpose of leadership. That is what this book is about. It's about helping leaders create a legacy they can be proud of. 'Tony gets to the heart and essence of leadership, boils it down to its fundamental elements, and creates an outline for daily application that simply makes sense. His writing provides us with evidence that leadership need not be complicated. Rather, he reminds us that grounded on the fundamental non-negotiable requirements of character, integrity, and credibility, leadership is about creating something of lasting value and worth. With that as the foundation, Tony presents compelling arguments for what he calls 'the mechanics of leadership,' and outlines specific ways that leaders must behave in order to reach their full potential. The principles outlined in this book serve as an enduring guide and a strong reminder of what we must all strive for as leaders.' —From the Foreword by Charles P. Garcia, Author of Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows Many of today's contemporary books on the subject of leadership concern themselves with the mechanics of leadership. Encyclopedic volumes have been written about how to lead, and about what to do, and when to do it. However, few leadership books have given serious consideration to the true purpose of leadership. That is what this book is all about: the purpose of leadership. It's about creating something of lasting value and worth. Learning the mechanics of leadership is important. Leaders must learn how to be effective. They need to know how to develop strategies based on a well-developed vision. They must understand communication, empowerment, delegation, and other fundamental principles of good leadership. These are all important skills for a leader to have if they are to be successful. However, what they must always keep in the forefront of their thinking is why they lead. What is their purpose in leading? In this book, Anthony López strives to provide readers the tools and strategies necessary to succeed in all that they do and to truly become a Legacy Leader.

The Leader's Guide to Becoming Absolutely Essential to Any Organization by Edward Murphy Pdf

From the battlefield, to the board room, to the White House, good leaders are desperately needed in every corner of America. Leadership is the most sought after transferrable skill on the planet and the skill for which employers pay the most money.What makes some leaders more effective than others? How do some leaders actually create their own conditions for success? What was their secret? How did they go from ordinary to extraordinary? Over the past five decades, I have been privileged to work with some of America's most exceptional men and women that were real game changers, self-starters, and TRUE LEADERS. I learned that to become absolutely essential to any organization, you must be perceived as a TRUE LEADER; someone who can be counted on to create the conditions for success, consistently produced excellent results, and to improve your team.What you'll find in this book is what my TRUE LEADERS taught me over 50+ years in both the US Military (as a US Army Officer) and in Corporate America (as an Executive Coach). It is their good leadership I write about. What made them TRUE LEADERS, worthy of my trust, respect, and emulation? I wanted to be like them because they got it; they knew what mattered most - how to treat people with dignity, respect and kindness.I wrote this book to further the cause of teaching good leadership, to pay tribute to the great men and women I willing followed, and to help you achieve your true leadership potential.This book is unique for two reasons. First, it offers real world solutions to the problems leaders face every day. The practical tools found here are those you can easily learn today and actually use tomorrow. Second, you will also learn how to create and shape the conditions for success in your organization, whether in your company, agency, church, team or family.My TRUE LEADERS had several things in common. They all effectively influenced the actions of others by skillfully using the Core Leadership Competencies of Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Operating, Problem Solving, Awareness, Motivating, and Character.In 2011, I was inspired to write this book because I wanted to pass on what I learned from them, many of whom are not here today to tell their story. So, before their lessons disappeared forever, I have dedicated the past two years of my life documenting everything I learned from them. This book is about them. They wrote it. Thanks to them, I have collected thousands of "small and simple things" that employer's expect you to know, that are not taught anywhere, about creating the conditions for success, consistently producing excellent results, and improving your team. I created this book as an instructional text or primer for new leaders, and a nice review or reference document for seasoned leaders as a reminder of what they should be doing. This book was intentionally designed to be your Swiss Army Knife of leadership training - the one I never had.If you are looking for a way to enhance your career, to become absolutely essential to any organization, or to become a better leader tomorrow than you are today, this is the book.
