Sounds True Inc Flying Lead Change: 56 Million Years of Wisdom
Book SynopsisUnderneath the challenges of our modern age, we find a common cause of disconnection - from each other, the earth, and lives of purpose and meaning. How do we turn it around? In Flying Lead Change, Kelly Wendorf offers a guide for a new approach to leading and living, grounded in evidence-based principles of neuroscience and inspired by two profound sources of ancient wisdom: Original Peoples and Equus (the horse). Wendorf presents the wisdom of a 56-million-year-old system - the horse herd - that overcame threats we now face, such as climate change and mass extinction. Here, she shares the five pillars of their success: safety, peace, connection, joy, and freedom. She reveals how true leaders in both human and equine society use these principles to benefit the whole - a model of servant leadership based on presence and care, not dominance, force, exploitation, or coercion. In horsemanship, a “flying lead change” allows a running horse to respond with breathtaking grace to changing conditions. “Collectively, we need a similar physics - defying maneuver,” Wendorf writes. “This book is for the called - thought leaders, visionaries, parents, creatives, and all those who sense we are being asked to participate in humanity’s ‘flying change’ through the way we live, love, and lead.”

Book SynopsisAuthenticity is the heart of any powerful brand. That’s not news - authenticity has become the “it word” in marketing - but why do so many people find it so hard to put it into practice? Jessica Zweig has emerged as one of the few branding gurus who really gets authenticity: how to find it in yourself, how to show it to others, and most importantly, how to live it. In Be: A No-Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself, Zweig explores the myths about branding and gets straight into the heart of what really builds and sustains a personal brand platform: your unapologetic authenticity. “In these pages, you’re going to learn why the most authentic people are also the most magnetic,” she says. “You can and will become one of those people, too. Because actually, you already are. I’m just going to teach you how to uncover it step by step.” The internet is the most powerful tool for connection in history - but if you have a business, a mission, or a dream, you have to be able to cut through the noise. “This book is about more than making money or getting your 15 minutes of fame,” Zweig says. “This is for people who want to build a legacy by connecting with others, changing lives, and moving the world forward.”

Why Not Press Leading From The Jumpseat: How to Create
Book SynopsisEveryone is capable of accomplishing extraordinary things. If you share this belief, then this book was written for you. In business and in life, handing over the reins to others is inevitable. Everyone will eventually leave their team, retire from being the CEO, or see their kids leave home and lead their own lives. Leading from the Jumpseat enables us to embrace this inevitability. Leading from the Jumpseat is a metaphor for how we can choose to lead. It's about the journey we take so we can hand over control to others, who are then equipped to continue forward. Peter Docker, co-author of Find Your Why and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc., delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up and giving them the space they need so that, when the time is right, they can take the lead. Drawing on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world, Peter's goal is to inspire others to Lead from the Jumpseat. Jumpseat Leadership is a way of interacting with people that will enhance performance in any given situation - during normal business, times of crisis, and life in general. Becoming a Jumpseat Leader takes practice and this book is your practical guide to handing over control.Trade Review"Leaders know that the secret to success is giving control to the team, safely, consistently, and boldly. In Leading from the Jumpseat, former RAF pilot Peter Docker shows us how to do this." David Marquet, Author of Fortune's #1 Best Business Book of the Year, Turn the Ship Around and Founder of Intent Based Leadership;"Trust and empower your people so they can lead. Easier said than done. This book is an invaluable guide on how to do that." Nick Beighton, CEO, ASOS;"An exciting ride - start to finish! Peter's book is filled with stories that challenge you to consider the legacy you are leaving behind. We know we NEED to give up control, the question is how? This book has the answers you've been waiting for." Kristen Hadeed, Author of Permission to Screw Up;"Leading From The Jumpseat makes a compelling case for today's biggest leadership challenge: to lead with integrity. Peter Docker shares what it takes for individuals and organizations to accomplish extraordinary things - not just at 30,000 ft, but in every working environment. Leading From The Jumpseat is a great read: it offers a rich collection of real-world examples for human-centric leadership." Ralf Specht, Founder and former CEO of Spark44 and author of Building Corporate Soul; "Peter's real skill is to express, in simple terms and by examples, those ideas and principles that immediately chime with the reader. By drawing on dramatic examples of airborne emergencies, as well as more mundane and everyday situations, he guides us in applying them to our own lives." Lieutenant General Sir James Dutton KCB CBE, former Governor of Gibraltar, & Regional President for Bechtel; "This is a wonderful, rich and powerful leadership resource, full of compelling stories that really bring the concepts to life. I loved it, started stealing ideas immediately and am recommending it to all my colleagues." Susie Scott, Corporate Safety Director, Major US Airline;"If life were a 1940s black and white movie, just a couple of pages into Peter Docker's 'Leading From the Jumpseat', I'd have buzzed through to my PA saying, "Hey - hold my calls - I'm busy." Once I started reading, I kept going. Peter's a natural storyteller and he uses those stories to make point after point that you'll be able to use if you do anything at all that involves leading people. It's an absolute belter of a book." Mark McArthur-Christie, Writer and Managing Director at Rubuss; "Leading from the Jumpseat is such a warm and thought provoking read. The stories and concepts that Peter uses to explain Jumpseat Leadership are so positive and uplifting. I found myself reflecting back to situations where I have been lifted up, how that made me feel and how I might do the same for others. It is clear from the stories Peter tells the importance of lifting others up and the lasting impression that positive actions leave on those you are supporting. One of the main messages I took away was that, just because I am not a CEO it doesn't matter - leadership is available to everyone at every level, in every situation."
