Casey Reason's 100 Days to Leadership Impact prepares leaders to make an impact in their first 100 days while creating momentum and setting expectations for day 101 and beyond. Every leader wants to be a force for positive change, bringing improvements or even a breakthrough to his or her organization. Leaders today are expected to make an impact on results quickly. Effective leaders do this not by making superhuman individual efforts, but by creating an organizational culture that is driven to learn, collaborate, innovate, and improve together. The resulting connected culture has exponentially increased learning power. Resourceful leaders use the science of how human emotions, mental models, and organizational history affect culture and work with, not against, those things to effect change and create a connected culture. The author describes four phases of the 100-day timeline to create a connected culture and make a leadership impact. Using vivid narratives to illustrate common leadership issues, the author provides step-by-step strategies to address each one. End-of-chapter reflection questions inspire readers to consider their own unique leadership styles. The four phases of the 100-day timeline are as follows: Phase 1 (Day 1 6): Creating a Lasting First Impression Phase 2 (Day 7 39): Getting in Motion Phase 3: (Day 40 69): Testing and Trusting Phase 4: (Day 70 100): Celebrating and Looking Forward

"In 100-Day Leaders: Making a Difference Right Now in Every School, authors Robert Eaker and Douglas Reeves suggest a new way of thinking about leadership. Whether the project is large in scope, such as changing the orientation of a school to Professional Learning Communities, or smaller in scope, such as the development of formative assessments or new grading practices in a single semester, the 100-Day Leader brings a sense of daily accomplishment, feedback, mid-course corrections, focus, and encouragement to the organization--from the classroom to the board room. Eaker and Reeves offer an integrated approach in which the leader sees connections that may not be apparent to others in the organization. Curriculum, assessment, facilities, transportation, food service, teacher evaluation, board relationships and a host of other complex interactions are at the heart of the 100-Day Leader. This book offers a practical guide for leaders at every level to make immediate transformations in culture, practice, and performance"--

This is much more than a book. It's your coach-in-a-book. For a tiny fraction of the cost to hire a coach, Leadership in 100 Days offers you the roadmap to your success as a leader. Whatever goal you put your mind to (personal, professional and/or societal), this toolkit will give you the capacity to achieve it. "Very pragmatic self-study guide that with personal discipline provides a clear road map towards (increased) success." -Hans Toggweiler, CEO Americas, DHL Of course there are no guarantees. "Life is," John Lennon quipped famously, "what happens when you had other plans." But thousands of Dr. Zweifel's clients and students (3,258 and counting, to be Swiss and precise)-not to mention himself-have utilized these tools to meet strategic imperatives and realize their dreams, in business and in life, for more than three decades. "Leadership in 100 Days delivers what most leadership books don't: It gives you real access to leadership, day after day, brick by brick, on the job of making something happen. For any executive who needs to reboot his or her leadership, and for companies that need better leaders." -Hanspeter Mathis, Managing Director, Uvex Safety Switzerland Leaders have used this system to catalyze the achievement of their own dreams, from landing that dream job to launching a Brazilian restaurant in Harlem, from taking their family company into eCommerce to building a Blockchain startup, from boosting innovation to bringing a prototype to market, from creating a NGO in Benin to bringing the Olympic Games to Jerusalem. (Well, this last one is still underway, and frankly it's a bit of a long shot.) "Use the Global Leader Pyramid(R) to gain clarity in the dynamics of communication. Think first, find where you are in the Pyramid, and drive your meetings, conversations and relationships to action and success!" -Judd Maltin, Systems Principal Engineer, Dell Teams have profited from the system to reduce overtime and budget creep for a satellite build from 100% overtime (and over budget) to 10%, saving millions; to kill the billing backlog in a law-firm, making millions; to grow retail sales by 11% while retail in the industry declined; or to save $200 million by offshoring 5,000 knowledge workers while maintaining morale in a financial services giant. One used the roadmap to build his own executive jet company. A few years later he called Dr. Zweifel to report back that his company was now on Inc. Magazine's list of the 500 fastest-growing companies. The purpose of Leadership in 100 Days is to give both experienced and emerging leaders a vehicle (that's the original meaning of the word "coach" anyway; before there were automobiles, horse-drawn coaches brought people to their desired destinations) for self-paced, systematic self-coaching. "Indeed a 'coach in a book' that confronts you with your own blindspots and charts a course you might not take on your own-the path of leadership. A huge return on investment."-Martin Naville, CEO, Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce Put Leadership in 100 Days to work for you today-and build your success.

Based on his TEDx talk "Everyday Leadership (the Lollipop Moment)" -- voted one of the 15 most inspirational TED talks of all time -- This Is Day One is leadership expert Drew Dudley's guide to cultivating the behaviors that will help you to succeed and empower those around you. If you're intimidated by the mystique surrounding leadership, this book is for you. Dudley simplifies leadership without denying its complexity, demonstrating that leadership in all its forms begins at the same clear and accessible place for everyone: what he calls "Day One." Day One is when you discover, define, and start to consistently deliver on your foundational leadership values. Living that day over and over is what creates leaders, and Dudley provides the key tools necessary to craft and commit to your own personal Day One, including: A step-by-step process designed to surface your core leadership values and embed them into your daily behavior A roadmap to behavioral changes proven to increase commitment, pride, productivity, and happiness Insights into key leadership values that drive performance and impact Sharing the process that led him through battles with alcohol, obesity, and personal tragedy, Dudley shows you how to develop a relentless commitment to the daily behaviors that will make you a better executive, coach, or teacher, and how you can inspire others to do the same. Most of the leadership on the planet comes from people who don't see themselves as leaders. This Is Day One shows you how to start changing that. Through the insights of leaders of all types -- CEOs, elite athletes, cab drivers, custodians, and everyone in between -- Dudley helps you understand what your Day One needs to look like, reminds you why you're a leader, and makes clear what you can do about it--starting today, on Day One.

System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a contemporary classic, an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.
