The retired four-star general and and best-selling author of My Share of the Task shares a powerful new leadership model. Former General Stanley McChrystal held a key position for much of the War on Terror, as head of the Joint Special Operations Command. In Iraq, he found that despite the vastly superior resources, manpower, and training of the US Military, Al Qaeda had an advantage because of its structure as a loose network of small, independent cells. To defeat such an agile enemy, JSOC had to change its focus from efficiency to adaptability.

While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability. Missteps made during the crucial first three months in a new role can jeopardize or even derail your success.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Are you a high potential? Your managers and HR department are constantly wondering that about you - and assessing whether or not you have what it takes to advance. Here's how to get them to answer yes. Being seen as a high potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching an organization's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

Colin Powell is the classic American success story. Born in Harlem to immigrant parents, Powell rose through the ranks of the US military to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a soft-spoken, steel-willed Desert Storm hero. Always seemingly one step ahead of both allies and competitors, he quickly became one of America's most trusted and beloved public icons. The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell recounts Powell's core beliefs on leadership, negotiation, self-knowledge, and more.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

Amazing ability to distill leadership into a practical framework
I've known Dave Robinson for many years as a friend and a mentor. I have always been in awe of his ability to articulate extremely complex endeavors into manageable, executable plans. He applies that remarkable talent to distilling the substance of leadership into an energizing, practical framework that leaders at all levels will find immediately inspiring in their current pursuits. Easy 5 stars. A great addition to any leader's library.

By far the Best book on Leadership
I have read many books on leadership. This author not only gives pointers, ideas and suggestions on developing great leaders but gives real life scenarios which puts what we read/hear into perspective.
I would highly recommend this book and also would recommend this as a tool to those leaders you are trying to develop.

Outstanding
An outstanding, methodical breakdown of leadership principles and technique. I experienced Robinson’s leadership in the ready room years ago and found his book true to form and now applicable to challenges in the business environment. Thanks for the example you set and the timely reminder. Joe Bayer, Senior Director Operations at General Atomics

Clear, practical leadership guide!
I have known Colonel David "Crusoe" Robinson for 30 years and have always thought of him as one of the best officers and fighter pilots I served with over my own 27-year career in the Marine Corps. This book is a distillation of the best and most practical leadership lessons a senior officer could have gleaned, and it is made even more useable by Colonel Robinsons long second career as a business and leadership consultant in the civilian world. I am recommending this book to all my business contacts and I recommend it to you.
