About the Book
As the boss, whether you are a line manager or executive, your leadership is the key to unlock the mother-load of employee potential.
Your Leadership Development and Skill?
This book provides you what to do to manage people effectively and exactly how to do it. Each how-to is actually one of many easy to learn, easy to perform leadership skills.
What About Your Leadership Style?
Don't worry about your leadership style, personality, looks or charisma. My managers and I proved that actions are what count, and carrying out the actions specified by the leadership skills outlined in my book will make you an exceptional manager of people.
How About Motivating My Employees?
We also proved that self-motivation is the key to success. It opens all doors. We know that our best people are self-motivated self-starters. How about a workplace where self-motivation is the norm? The leadership skills I present to you will create the environment where this happens. And you will also be preventing de-motivation and all its fearsome consequences. In truth, there's no limit to what employees can accomplish once your leadership skills enable their own motivations.
To learn about the huge difference between companies who unleash employee motivation and those who don't, I suggest you read the bestseller Good to Great, by Jim Collins. In this book, Mr. Collins describes utopia. My book provides the tools to get you there!

Utilizing the essential leadership skills I teach, you can achieve the following, all of which are proven results from my 34 years of managing people:
- Majority of employees become highly motivated and highly committed.

The leadership skills set in the book comprehensively covers the subject of managing people, from A to Z. It includes how to effectively deal with stress and 22 problematic workplace conditions and behaviors such as dealing with bosses, bureaucracy, negative attitudes and personality clashes. Whether you manage one person or thousands, these clearly defined leadership skills are your script for achieving excellence.
In addition, the leadership skills presented are backed by easy-to-understand leadership theory which makes so much sense you will wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. In fact, the 20+ leadership principles explained in my book are as certain as the Law of Gravity.
What Readers Have Said
"Excellent does not do justice in describing your book. I don't know of any executive who could sit down, read your book and not get excited. It's a great wake up call for US executives and one that should be required reading of anybody who leads, or wants to lead, others."-Bill Vick
"In reading the book the first time, it almost seemed as if you had observed all the management mistakes I had committed over time and set-out to write a methodology on how to correct them." -Shanthie Goonetilleke
"Just a cursory read of the ebook indicates to me that it is worth a lot more than the $ 10.00 US. Even if you are not in management, I would recommend it for the following reasons: for self-improvement; for improving work place relations; for improving relations at home." -Frank Deutsch
"I've now gone through the book and have found it more than illuminating. In fact I have printed out a copy of it for my 17 year old to read and take back to college with him; I think your approach and insight into dealing with people will be invaluable to him, whether he is operating from a leadership position or simply as a team member." -Charles Bearsdley
Book Review
"The subtitle...does little to make the casual reader aware of the massive significance of this book... He asks quite rightly how we can afford to turn off a single one of our people and is very specific about what needs to happen to create what he terms a five star ("Turned On") employee. He is equally specific about what is missing that prevents that five star performance."
