My new book is out now

You’ve got a bold vision and a strategy to achieve it! But why does your company seem to be standing still? Why is the gap between what strategy promises and what it delivers so vast and disheartening? And what to do about it?

New book

Welcome back to

“Irresistible Communication”.

2

Two minutes, twice a week.

3

No nonsense advice on

leadership communication.

4

Some leaders are good at making decisions.

5

Others are good at making it

obvious how decisions are made.

6

Both can lead an organization to

incredible success, but only the latter

7

teaches the organization how to sustain

that success after their departure.

8

I've worked with both types of leaders.

9

The first type acts

like a discerning judge.

10

They would argue that their job is

to listen closely to all perspectives

11

and then make the final call.

12

The second type is more like a mentor,

guiding the team and understanding

13

the decision-making process itself.

14

They would argue that their job

is to articulate how choices

15

are made in the best interest

of the organization and foster a

16

culture of meaningful discussions.

17

In this environment, anyone is equipped

to make informed choices for the group.

18

While one leader makes the

decisions, the other empowers

19

everyone to be decision makers.

20

I'm writing a new book that teaches you

how to communicate effectively so that

21

your team knows how to make choices.

22

It's going to be published in 2024
