The Heart of LeadershipUtgave 1

High performers get passed over every day, and this book explains exactly why, through the story of one man's quest to find out what great leaders are actually made of.

From the international bestselling coauthor of The Secret, this business fable follows Blake Brown, a driven professional who does everything right and still loses the promotion he wanted. His mentor sends him on a journey to meet five of his late father's colleagues, and what Blake discovers changes how he understands leadership entirely.

The core insight is simple but often overlooked: Skills, execution, and industry knowledge are necessary but not sufficient. What separates good leaders from great ones lives deeper, in character.

Inside this book you will find

• the five specific character traits that define exceptional leaders,
• a story-based format that makes complex ideas easy to absorb and remember,
• a clear framework for diagnosing why capable people plateau in their careers,
• practical insight for anyone who wants to lead in a way that earns genuine followership, and
• a fast, engaging read designed for busy professionals.

This book is especially useful for high performers who feel stuck, first-time managers building their leadership identity, and organizations looking for development tools that connect with readers emotionally as well as intellectually.

Leadership is not reserved for a select few, and this book is built to prove that.
