Why Do Executives Fail? Find Out In The New Edition of The Next Level by Scott Eblin

Bea Fields — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:19:04 +0000

Scott Eblin is probably one of my favorite executive coaches. He’s smart, savvy, talks straight…is no nonsense, successful and he really knows his stuff. He has been extremely helpful to me AND to many coaches and executives around the world.

So, it gives me great pleasure to tell you today about Scott’s 2nd edition of his groundbreaking book:

The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success. Scott’s first edition of The Next Level was a smashing hit, and after looking at a few points in the new book, I cannot wait to dive in and read every page.

In the book, Eblin lays out in spades that the skills and strengths that send careers up the corporate ladder aren’t the same ones that a rising executive will need to survive. Eblin’s research reveals that 40 percent of new leaders don’t last more than 18 months. So, if you want to know how to beat the odds or help your executive clients beat those awful odds, pick, up a copy of the book so that you can learn the habits and beliefs executives must let go of in order to really make it.

Just a few points the book … Read the rest of the post

Lastest Leadership News

Bea Fields — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:57:39 +0000

“Effective leadership in any business is a continual effort. Some have said it is a journey, not the destination. Your Business Development Examiner has reviewed the top business leadership books on the market today and humbly makes the following recommendations”.

I have flipped through these books, and they do look like they are worth the read. For those of you who are not a big fan of Sarah Palin, I agree with the reviewer on her book…read Going Rogue if only to find out how she worked with both sides to govern Alaska. In leadership, it is critical to be able to have the political savvy to be able to work with the opposition. You will be happy in the end that you did.

How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins: The 5 Warning Stages

Bea Fields — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:48:07 +0000

If you have not yet had the chance to pick up a copy of Jim Collins’ book: How The Mighty Fall, I highly recommend this book. As always, Collins has researched companies that were once great and studied their decline. There are 5 stages in the downward spiral, and leaders can learn a great deal by noticing the stages. As Collins points out, it is much easier to turn a company around in the early stages of the decline.

Ready to Think BIG? Get Started Today With the Think Big Manifesto

Bea Fields — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:26:19 +0000

My colleague and friend, Michael Port has been called “an uncommonly honest author” by The Boston Globe. He’s just written his 4th (and by far his best) book The Think Big Manifesto to rally us to come together as a society and think bigger.

I read the book last week, and it is the most revealing work he’s ever published. I read it in one sitting as I was riding to and from a golf tournament. It’s excellent. His message is challenging, yet compassionate. I was re-inspired to be and lead the kind of change I want to see in the world.

The one thing that struck me when I read the book was this…Not everyone is born with a high IQ or athletic talent or the ability to sing like Pavarotti…but you know what...everyone is born with the ability to think big, but only if you choose to take that journey. Sometimes, we all just need a thunk on the head like The Think Big Manifesto to get us really stepping up to the plate to make big things happen in the world.

This is a MUST read book for everyone. Check it out today and you’ll score … Read the rest of the post
