Ultimate Leadership

To succeed, leaders must understand and apply the core principles of leadership--but that’s not enough. You need to shape your approach for any unique situation. Too many leaders don’t know how to do that--and that’s why they fail. Ultimate Leadership shows how to adapt the principles of leadership to different challenges, contexts, and organizations. Russell E. Palmer--who has had three very different, highly successful careers as head of one of the world’s largest accounting firms, Dean of the Wharton School, and an entrepreneur--helps you identify the leadership model most appropriate for your environment, and how to lead accordingly. You’ll learn better ways to lead your equals, help an organization weather crises, transform its culture, lead entrepreneurial organizations, lead global organizations...even lead non-profit and academic institutions. Then, drawing on interviews with an extraordinary spectrum of outstanding leaders, Palmer helps you master the attribute every leader must have: the ability to inspire your unique organization, even in the face of the most daunting challenges. • Achieving empowerment, even in classic "top-down" organizations Exercising strong authority without falling victim to ego or closed-mindedness • Transforming an organization of peers Driving changes in a strategic direction when key power centers disagree • Turning danger into opportunity Mastering the art of rapid, focused, hands-on execution for organizations in crisis • Leading cultural change that sticks Reconnecting structures, processes, and strategies with the new realities you face • Learning from the Wharton experience Succeeding in an environment with widely diverse, highly influential stakeholders

This is an Amazon #1 Best Selling Book. Welcome to Ultimate Leadership: 10 Rules for Leadership Success. These 10 rules were created out of my successes, achievements, mistakes and failures. These were hard-won lessons I learned on my journey to becoming a successful leader. The pinnacle of my leadership career occurred during the summer of 2014. On this particular Saturday, it started off like any normal Saturday, mowing the lawn, washing my 100 pound Akita "Grace," which was always a task in itself, and preparing to barbeque some steaks for lunch. Just about that time, the phone rings and my second in charge is on the line. He told me we had a situation at work. After that call, I made the decision to forgo my plans for grilling and head to the office. My career for the past 30 years was in the medical field. I specialized as a Paramedic and worked in some very busy EMS systems across the United States. During this time, my tenure was as Chief of Emergency Medical Services for Christian Hospital, a role I had for 4 years at this point. Little did I know that once I arrived on scene to assess the situation, my leadership skills were going to be tested to their maximum limit. On this day in August, a white police officer shot an unarmed African American teen named Mike Brown, and the city of Ferguson, MO was getting ready to be thrust into the international spotlight for rioting, looting and assaults. I arrived on scene approximately three hours after the shooting, and our ambulances were in an area about a mile away from where the shooting took place at the Canfield Apartments. The Canfield Apartments were already a powder keg ready to explode. For our safety, police asked us to leave and find a safer place to "stage" and wait for further instructions. Mike Brown's body lay in the middle of the road on this hot August day for more than 4 hours, and the protests grew louder, more heated, and eventually aggressive. Once I arrived at the staging area, my needle of concern for employee safety was immediately pegged in the red. Even though we moved to a so called "safe area," there were more than 300 yelling and screaming protesters with signs that read, "Kill the police," "Stop murdering our kids" and "The police just murdered my son." Along with the protesters, there were also regional SWAT teams, armored vehicles, and news cameras that were trying to capture the emotion of the event. I can share with you now that this was a scary, stressful time and there were many times I questioned the decisions I needed to make to ensure the safety of my workforce and leadership team. In the end, none of our folks were hurt, everyone went home safely and we were recognized for an outstanding job well done. Even though the decisions made during the Ferguson crisis allowed us to deliver exceptional service and remain professional. I can share with you that my leadership skills were not always as tight as they could have been. To be honest, it was quite the opposite for a long time. In the beginning, my leadership style was based on egotism, ignorance, and wanting to advance my career instead of growing my team. Over this time frame, mistakes mounted and lessons were learned. You always hear that Leadership is both an art and a science, and if you do not know the science of leadership, you will not be able to paint the portrait of success. My leadership journey eventually allowed me to learn the necessary science that allowed me to develop an award-winning organization and be recognized as an international leader. Join me on my leadership journey and learn from my hard-won lessons. If you follow each of these 10 rules and you will increase your leadership effectiveness, enjoy a positive reputation, and have an organization whose workforce is engaged with a high level of employee satisfaction. Thank you for allowing me to join you on your leadership journey.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
