To the everyday leader reading these pages: may this book sharpen your thinking, strengthen your preparation, and expand your influence. The stories that follow will remind you that leadership is not reserved for a select few, or those with the title. It is available in every moment, every decision, and every opportunity to serve others well.\u201d<\/em> \u2013\u00a0Jayme Pendergast, 2024 Women Leaders in Sports Nike NAIA Executive of the Year<\/p>\n \u201cI often say that much more is written about leadership than is known. Why? Because leadership has a huge situational component. But that is Brian Dodd\u2019s sweet spot. Situations. Carefully choose the most instructive situations, and principles emerge. Brian has written several leadership books, and each sits high on my list of instructive learning experiences. His writing is clear \u2026 his illustrative situations often profound. Anything Brian has written sits high on my \u2018recommended\u2019 list.\u201d <\/i>\u2013 George Manners, Emeritus Professor of Accounting and Management, Kennesaw State University<\/p>\n Everyone Is a Leader (Including and Especially You!)<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>would be a quality investment in the growth of people you believe in!<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Great question! \u00a0My desire is to help you and those you influence win<\/em>! \u00a0If my content has ever benefitted you, here\u2019s my request. \u00a0I definitely want you to purchase a book. \u00a0But I also want you to buy at least one other copy to share with someone else. \u00a0As I have invested in you, my hope is you invest in others.<\/p>\n Sit down together. \u00a0Each of you read a chapter or section and ask these three questions:<\/p>\n So how many copies should you buy? \u00a0I hope at least two. \u00a0But if you lead a team, I hope you buy copies for everyone you influence. \u00a0Everyone wins when leaders get better.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. \u00a0Can you believe it!
