  A great book for young folks who want to become entrepreneurs, and a perfect graduation gift for anyone who is thinking about going into business.Written by a serial entrepreneur and private equity manager who shares his own journey in a way that is easy to apply.Are you thinking of a career pivot out of the 9-5 and don't know where to start? This book is for you. It provides a unique and simple framework for understanding what you can do to leverage your current work and life skills into the business world. Maybe you're stuck at a job you hate and wishing for a way out...trying to think of a big idea that will make you a shark tank contender? This book will make things a lot easier than you might believe.  This book has been compared to The Richest Man in Babylon as well as The Alchemist, but it is also the kind of transformative book that people have likened to Rich Dad. Poor Dad, and The 4-Hour Workweek.  You'll learn from real stories of business and you'll get memorable principles that come from an entertaining ancient parable. A story as old as time: a person taking control of their own destiny. A boy becomes the king's flyswatter, a seemingly unimportant job with no real prospects. Compared to today's world, where employees expect a succinct and tangible path of promotions and raises, fly-swatting seems like torture. But, with the help of a few key mentors, Ubar of ancient Babylon learns that there's more to the position than meets the eye. After all, he spends his days standing at the wise king's side, watching as he renders royal judgment on his citizens' disagreements. It's Ubar's responsibility to learn as much as possible without sacrificing his performance at swatting flies, a mundane job.  The parable of the King's Flyswatter holds up remarkably well when entwined with modern stories of people who took the skills they learned in their jobs and set off on their own paths. Modern day executives and entrepreneurs understand the importance of going above and beyond at work, forging connections, and gaining a deeper understanding of the industry, even when they hated the job.They mastered their job, their boss's job, and made themselves invaluable as employees. That hard work and dedication paid off later when they were able to pursue a lifestyle that suited their needs, financial and emotional. They gained agency once they realized that they worked for themselves, even in a monotonous job working for someone else. This is the Way of the Flyswatter. The King's Flyswatter is a combination of an ancient parable and the author's real-life experiences as an entrepreneur, all wrapped up in actionable wisdom that working-people can use to find their own path to success. The alternating chapters about the author's own journey, and the stories of his friends and business partners, help punctuate the book with actionable principles and real-life applications.

  What if what you’ve been taught about leadership is wrong? 
    
  With today’s massive amount of information in books, blogs, social media, and videos, many people are calling leadership many things—and much of what they say about leadership is off. 
  This confusion about leadership can send you down a path of mediocre leadership (or worse), and you may not even realize it—because it’s what you’ve been taught.  
  Essential Leadership is about clarifying what leadership is and what it takes to be a great leader, whether you are an executive, a CEO, a manager, a boss, a principal, a politician, a superintendent, or even if you don’t have a position of leadership but just want to learn how to lead. 
  Essential Leadership dives into: 
  -     The mentality you should have as a leader (and the common mentalities that you should avoid) 
  -     The misconceptions many have about leadership (and the truths you need to know) 
  -     The reality about leadership styles that many miss 
  -     Why your preferences and strengths don’t matter as much as you think they might 
  -     How to communicate effectively to build greater trust and get better results 
  -     How to show appreciation and give feedback effectively 
  -     The importance of culture and the building blocks of creating a great one 
  -     What it really takes to motivate your employees 
  -     And much more.
