In Strategy to Action, award-winning educator and coach Keita Demming of The Covenant Group, presents an innovative and deceptively simple tool to help business professionals unite their short-term tactics with their long-term goals. 
  Strategy to Action consists of four different interlinked mindsets: Future and Today’s Eagle, and Today’s and Future Wolf, each in conversation with the other. In the domain of the Eagle, you identify future long-term direction and clarify your short-term approach. In the domain of the Wolf, you learn to engage tactics that will help you serve your Eagle. As you learn to shift between the four mindsets of the Future and Today’s Eagle and your Today and Future Wolf you will be able to respond more effectively to the dynamic opportunities and challenges of the business environment. 
  Drawing from his work as a former academic turned educator and coach, as well as feedback from clients, Demming takes you through a series of simple questions, guidelines, and principles that will help you:Take charge to invest in the changes that will help you realize your business visionAlign your short-term activity with your long-term objectivesIdentify and build the systems, processes, and people you need to help you focus on the things that count the mostView your organization as a conversation rather than a machineAvoid the myth of the lone wolf and find the pack that can execute your visionRun your business without it running you!

   “A powerful, game-changing book. Tom's approach is changing lives.” 
  — Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing 
    
  Discover how supporting employment for people with autism unlocked new ways of running a business—and revealed transformative lessons for all of us. 
  Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida, isn’t average in any way. When Tom D’Eri and his father John bought the location in 2013, they wanted to create employment opportunities for workers with autism. Like 1 in 54 Americans, Tom’s brother Andrew has autism, and he was facing lifelong unemployment. So the family set out on a mission to provide professional opportunities for people like Andrew, starting with one car wash. Now it’s one of the highest-volume washes in Florida. Its employee retention rate is five times that of its competitors. It has spun off into two additional locations that have been immediately successful, and the business is absurdly profitable. 
  The Power of Potential tells the inspiring, surprising reason why: The wash’s excellence isn’t in spite of their unusual workforce, but because of it. Thanks to their neurodivergent staff, the Rising Tide team was able to discover and correct common problems that typically fly under the radar in businesses, including:You hire based on interviewsYou think great talent is the secret to a great businessYour managers are “good enough”You fire your worst employees 
  By spotting and correcting these hidden problems, any business—with any kind of workers—can achieve unexpected wins and leave average behind. At Rising Tide, solving these problems resulted in four unexpected wins that added up to a culture of excellence:Every employee felt safeAccountability became a tool for growthEveryone’s work gave them a sense of purposeCustomers loved their experience

  In this offbeat approach to leadership, college president Steven B. Sample—the man who turned the University of Southern California into one of the most respected and highly rated universities in the country—challenges many conventional teachings on the subject. Here, Sample outlines an iconoclastic style of leadership that flies in the face of current leadership thought, but a style that unquestionably works, nevertheless. Sample urges leaders and aspiring leaders to focus on some key counterintuitive truths. He offers his own down-to-earth, homespun, and often provocative advice on some complex and thoughtful issues. And he provides many practical, if controversial, tactics for successful leadership, suggesting, among other things, that leaders should sometimes compromise their principles, not read everything that comes across their desks, and always put off decisions.
