About this listen
There are plenty of leadership how-to books, filled with advice such as "just do this to get ahead". Lots of books tell you how to become a leader. This book tells you how to stay successful once you've gotten into a leadership role. The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance aims to help aspiring, early-stage, and experienced leaders alike answer a critical question: "How will I use my leadership power?"
Coauthored by globally renowned author and executive development trainer Bill Treasurer and retired US Navy SEAL Captain John Havlik, this audiobook unites civilian and military experiences to explore precisely why some good leaders go bad, so you can avoid their mistakes.
With decades worth of insight drawn from leading elite military special operations teams, global companies, and organizations, The Leadership Killer includes insightful stories and actionable strategies for becoming, and more importantly, staying a more effective, confident, and humble leader.
The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance exposes hubris - the single most lethal leadership flaw. Being a good leader doesn't require being a bad person, and if you know what to look out for, Treasurer and Havlik point out, you can keep your ego and hubris in check and become (and stay) a leader who is effective, successful, and good.
"With plenty of books written already on how to succeed as a leader, Bill Treasurer and John Havlik offer us something new and greatly needed - practical wisdom on how to survive leadership success." (John R. Ryan, President and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership, vice admiral, United States Navy (Retired))
"The Leadership Killer is the literary equivalent of a super tough workout or a day of SEAL training...a book every leader must read." (Rear Admiral Kerry Metz, USN (retired), Former SEAL and first commander of Special Operations Command North)

We've seen the negative impact of self-serving leaders in every sector of our society. Not infrequently, they end up bringing down their entire organization. But there is another way. Servant leaders lead by serving their people, not by exalting themselves. In this collection, edited by legendary business author and lifelong servant leader Ken Blanchard and his longtime editor Renee Broadwell, leading businesspeople, best-selling authors, and spiritual leaders offer tools for implementing this proven - but for some, still radical - leadership model.

Author Jim Hunter champions this hard/soft approach to leadership, which turns bosses and managers into coaches and mentors.

People are the problem. They're always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work - a colleague, subordinate, or boss. Handling people issues is every leader's major headache. It's what takes up the majority of their time and - more important - the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills.

Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

Outstanding- Top 3 leadership book
This is the leadership book that every leadership book author should have read before they wrote their books! This book uncovers the universal flaw and latent flaw awaiting all leaders. It offers tangible activities on how to be a effective leader of self and others. It reiterates why we are give the authority to lead - to improve the lives of others and organizations. The 10 recommendations at the close of the book are excellent. I have written then on a card and keep it with me to review daily.
