What is ethical leadership? Is there a difference between leadership vs management? What is strategic leadership? What is the most effective leadership philosophy? Do you wish your company had leadership coaching and leadership courses, or are you frustrated with executive leadership? Do you long for more participative leadership? You are not alone.

So why does leadership suck?

It sucks because real leadership is hard, requires selfless service, and because the buck stops here. Servant leadership or Level 5 leadership is uncomfortable, humbling, self-denying, painful, and counterintuitive; nonetheless, participative leadership is the only kind of leadership that brings lasting results, genuine happiness, and true self-fulfillment.

The audiobook is divided into four parts:

Part 1: To serve or not to serve. Educational leadership requires servant leadership.
Part 2: Do what's best for your organization. Discusses various aspects of organizational leadership and culture
Part 3: Humility 101. Leadership principles of self-examination, apologies, authenticity, controlling and displaying emotions, and handling adversity are examined.
Part 4: Specific management situations, focusing on business leadership competencies.

In this day and age, we talk about leadership and more and more books are available on the subject than ever before. The single keyword "leadership" offers up more than 640 million search results on Google alone, and via the internet we can access leadership courses and online information more quickly and easily than ever before. We have more management consultants than ever before in the history of the world. Yet we have a severe lack of leadership in most areas of government, business, and even non-profit organizations. 

So why is that?

I believe it is a lack of follow-through, plain and simple. We all gorge ourselves on leadership conferences, webinars, books, and so on, but how much do we actually put into practice? This book is about putting what we learn into practice, and that is a hallmark of leadership fundamentals. Whenever we feel frustrated or life seems to be spinning out of control, we need to get back to the fundamentals, to the basics of why we're living.

What is your purpose and mission? Is it based on the fundamentals of living a selfless life as a service-minded person? "Life and people aren't out to get you, but your approach to life and approach to people are." At times when our lives feel out of control, we need to get back to the basics of life and leadership.

We can get so distracted by things in life that we forget about what is seminally true. It is always about the fundamentals: fundamentals in work, life, sports, faith, and relationships. We can easily allow ourselves to become distracted by all kinds of things that really don't matter, and most of the time a return to the fundamentals brings us back into balance and promotes peace in our lives. 

That's what this book is about. If you feel that things are out of control, either in your own leadership or in that of others around you, this book is for you.
