  Is your internal playlist holding you back from being the leader you could be?In The Leader’s Playlist, leadership coach Susan Drumm unveils a groundbreaking process that outlines how our childhood wounds influence our ability to lead others and how music can heal those wounds. Maybe you’re having a hard time retaining or engaging your people. Or perhaps you’re feeling burnout or that you can’t delegate or trust your team to deliver. These problems and other leadership challenges can be addressed by shifting how you show up as a leader, and music is the catalyst.Drawing on neuroscience and leadership research, Drumm’s process uses the power of music to, first, help you recognize when an old, detrimental neural pathway (the old playlist, established by childhood wounds) is activated and, second, guide you to strengthen a new neural pathway (a new playlist). This book will help you:• Make better decisions instead of defaulting to old neural pathways• Attract others who are as committed as you are to a mission• Scale your business more efficiently and effectively by influencing and inspiring instead of defending and controllingWith newfound freedom from the weight of the old playlist, you will unleash energy to focus on a meaningful mission, find more joy, and lead in a way that brings out the best in others.

  Book Summary of Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't by Jim CollinsAbout | Good to Great by Jim CollinsOriginal book description:The Challenge - Built to Last, the defining management study of the '90s, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?The Study - For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?The Standards - Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least 15 years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in 15 years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.The Comparisons - The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?The Findings - The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many listeners and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:* Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.* The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.* A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. * Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.* The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap."Some of the key concepts discerned in the study," comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people."Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

In fact, he studied history in college and landed his first job as a detention room supervisor for a local high school (this wasn’t part of the plan, either). When his Google query, “how to make money online,” directed him to digital marketing courses, Chris found his calling. Soon his own sites ranked number one for “double chin,” “stained concrete,” and “acai fruit.” The rest, as they say, is history.Now, Rankings.io hits the top of industry lists year after year as an SEO agency for personal injury lawyers. The company is one of the best for a simple reason: Chris has found his niche. In Niching Up, Chris reveals the path to enduring notoriety and long-term profitability by way of a streamlined, specialized market focus.
