The Leader's Digest - Softcover

In response to the phenomenal success of "Growing the Distance," Jim Clemmer takes us to the next level of leadership development with "The Leader’s Digest." Here the timeless principles of personal or self-leadership described in "Growing the Distance" are extended to the wider context of leading others.

It is, as Jim says, a matter of growing our leadership from "in here" to "out there." Using the same uniquely readable format that contributed to its predecessor’s success, "The Leader’s Digest" provides a wealth of quotations, anecdotes, and insightful commentary, all designed to enrich and inform anyone who is responsible for leading people – whether in a small workgroup or a huge multinational corporation.

Leadership is widely recognized as a key factor in the success of an organization, with the result that a huge "leadership industry" has developed, featuring a multitude of theories and models, as well as a confusing array of grids, charts, formulas, and buzzwords. Now, with "The Leader’s Digest," bestselling author Jim Clemmer has drawn from his decades of research and management-development experience to distill all of this information down to its essentials.

For anyone who wants to get to the heart of understanding leadership, "The Leader’s Digest" is a must-read.

Jim Clemmer is a leading North American thinker on improving personal, team, and organization performance. A popular keynote speaker, management workshop/retreat leader, consultant, and executive coach, he has delivered thousands of presentations and given hundreds of media interviews on leadership. His international bestsellers include "The VIP Strategy," "Firing on All Cylinders," "Pathways to Performance," and "Growing the Distance."

Since I first began speaking and writing about leadership over twenty years ago, I've seen the growth of a huge "leadership industry" with a multitude of confusing theories, models, grids, charts, formulas, and buzzwords. My goal with "The Leader's Digest" was to distill all this information down to its essentials – a series of "executive summaries" on the timeless principles for team and organization success.

Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback I continue to get for the unique "browser's digest" or magazine style layout of "Growing the Distance," I used the same approach with "The Leader's Digest." I have again selected pithy quotations and added or written ageless anecdotes, fables, and humor grounded in the best leadership research I could find, and linked it all together with my reflections and commentary.

I hope you check it out and order your copies today!

Keep leading!
