"I've got a solution," Encore's CFO tells Brandon, "but it's unorthodox". It's 2005, and Brandon Black has just been promoted to CEO of Encore Capital, a company struggling to navigate an increasingly difficult business environment. Faced with a rapidly declining stock price and low workplace morale, Brandon knows he needs change - and fast. Following his CFO's advice, he and his executive team start working with Learning as Leadership (LaL) and its president, Shayne Hughes. Through their partnership, Encore's executive team learns to root out the unproductive ego habits that undermine collaboration and performance.

As they instill these more effective behaviors throughout the organization, Encore begins to solve problems collectively, prioritize resources without infighting, and focus on the initiatives with the greatest strategic value. When the financial crisis of 2008-09 forces 90 percent of its competitors out of business, Encore thrives, with its profits increasing by 300 percent and its stock price by 1,200 percent. Told from two lively first-person perspectives, Ego Free Leadership brings listeners along for Encore's incredible success story. They'll see a CEO overcome his unconscious resistance to modeling the change he wants in his team and discover a time-tested road map for eliminating the destructive effects of the ego in teams and organizations.

Listen to this book over and over again.

I listen to a lot of books on business, leadership and self growth. This is one that I will listen to over and over again.

Very powerful message

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to change a toxic work culture. The message is conveyed clearly through real life experiences followed by insights. I plan to revisit this title again!

Must read

Amazing read! Encourage all leaders to listen! So foundational to the success of all leaders.

Great Book!

It is something that everyone says that they are doing but not really. It is something easier said than done for sure. It is something that every leader or everyone who wants to become leader needs and this books opens that door for you. Highly recommended.

Terrific-Convicting Insights

Just finished this book. No steps, principles or formula for leadership. BUT it shares ways to stop the erosion of effective leadership—the leader’s ego. It communicated enlightening insights. A very good book!

good book for leaders

Helps you understand how to look at external and internal forces within your company to evaluate how to act with them and consider them on how to improve your company.

Wow

Really appreciate the vulnerability that was created in this book. Gave me a great example of how I should be working within any business

Worth the time

Several moments of reflection on how I can apply this in my life and journey to become a better leader.

Thank you for highlighting Amy Anuk experience

This book illustrates that leadership development is a very uncomfortable and often frustrating journey. The delight part of the book for me is the inclusion of Amy Anuk experience. Encore growth is not only an economical one but it was also a corporate culture. Thank you.

It’s good

With these wise words, learn how to stop getting in your own way and start succeeding!
