  A groundbreaking and revolutionary book that will transform how lean is understood, practiced, and used within organizations
  
   
  A lean strategy is about gaining a competitive edge by offering better quality products at competitive prices and making a sustainable profit by eliminating waste through engaging employees in discovering deeper ways to think about their own jobs and smarter ways of working together. In its current form, lean has been radically effective, but its true powers have yet to be harnessed.
  
   
  Lean Strategy harnesses that power and delivers a new way of creating value from lean. Leading lean experts address popular misconceptions about the basics of lean/TPS, showing the true purpose of tools, methods, and attitudes that leverage the intelligence of every employee doing the work. You’ll learn how to think-and then act-differently, tapping the power of every person in your organization in a disciplined manner that generates unparalleled, sustainable success that is responsive to today’s most pressing challenges

  Imposter. Liar. Wannabe.Those were the thoughts that hammered what speck of confidence I had left every morning as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Often, I’d watch the woman staring back at me transform into a little girl.“Always be true to yourself, no matter what,” she’d say in a sweet tone, all while oozing an unfathomable yet familiar poise.Familiar, because that girl used to be me. Unfathomable, because somewhere along the line I had turned into a woman unsure of herself. Sure, my life was proof that I had worked incredibly hard, made sacrifices, fought for my place, contributed to the success of others, and that I had become a capable leader among my peers.Yet, there I was: convinced I was a fraud.***As women, we are notoriously self-critical. Ironically, this tendency amplifies when we grow into leadership roles. While we’re great at pouring positive energy into our families and those who look up to us, we’re equally great at doubting ourselves. You’d think, with what we’ve achieved, we’d be a little more confident.She Leads in Her Truth will introduce you to the Seven Cornerstones of Authentic and Confident Female Leadership:Lead with confidence.Lead with your femininity.Lead to motivate and inspire.Lead with emotions.Lead with effective persuasion.Lead while being in your truth.Lead by example.Each Cornerstone has a dedicated chapter in which you’ll find fascinating, science-backed research and strategies you can start using immediately to enhance the way you lead. You’ll also discover how the Cornerstones can unleash the absolute best version of you not only in your career and all aspects of your life.

They will learn secrets and steps that are easily overlooked in business today. They will weigh the cost of their success and ask themselves, “Am I willing to do everything it takes?”   What if success could be as easy as changing your mindset to see your business or job differently, and in turn, see the world differently? Sten Morgan has become one of the youngest, top financial advisors in the country, and he built his business all in just three years. He is in the top percentile of people in his business, and more successful than advisors with thirty years or more experience, and he believes these seven psychological mindsets will unlock success for you too.   What’s stopping you from reaching rapid, top-level success in your industry? The answer lies inside.   “A great book . . . You need to know why you are doing this and why you want to be successful. Otherwise, your enthusiasm will fade and you won’t reach the levels of success that you want to reach. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.” —Medium   “Challenges entrepreneurs to change their mindsets, and see their businesses, and the world, differently.” —Between Now and Success podcast

  The bestselling author “frames his advice in terms of compassionate, socially responsible leadership, though a lot of it is just plain good management” (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  How do you build the kind of company you’ve always wanted to work in—one that serves people and the planet while being financially successful, too? What do you do when you believe that business should serve the common good, but everyday business pressures—meeting payroll, battling competition, keeping customers and investors happy—are at a fever pitch? Leading a small business when you measure success more broadly than with a single financial bottom line is no easy task. True to Yourself is a practical guide to doing just that. It provides tools you can use to combine profit with purpose, margin with mission, value with values. 
   
  “A perfect blend of inspiration and instruction. A must-read manual for anyone who aspires to a position of leadership.” —Alan M. Webber, Cofounding Editor, Fast Company

  “If you want to build a business with social conscience, a company that reflects your core values and that people are proud to work for, True to Yourself will help you pour your heart into doing just that.” —Howard Schultz, Former Chairman, Starbucks Coffee Company
