Summary

Organizations that have operations around the globe have become the norm rather than the exception. This means they need leaders with the requisite skills-including international business knowledge, cultural adaptability, perspective taking, and innovation-to respond effectively to the challenges and complexity of global leadership. This collection of seventeen pieces-written by the Center for Creative Leadership's highly experienced and knowledgeable faculty members and researchers as well as by prominent practitioners and scholars in the fields of leadership and leadership development-explores the important topic of leading the global organization from a number of angles. What can organizations and leaders do to develop the skills needed to excel in a global context? How can global leaders manage the relationship between corporate headquarters and local offices? How can organizations best handle the challenge of boundary-spanning leadership? Readers will come away with newly found knowledge on these and other questions and newly formed thoughts on how they can successfully meet the demands of leading the global organization.

    The Death of the Salesman and...

    As a salesperson, you’ve been taught to persuade, pitch products, read and mimic body language, and engage in a long list of other sales tactics to build a business. 
    But those tactics no longer work—especially if you’re working with intangible offerings like insurance and financial strategies. 
    These old-fashioned sales techniques may temporarily move a client toward making a purchase, but they don’t promote long-lasting relationships. To do that, you must become a trusted advisor. 
    Serial entrepreneur Andre Roos provides in-depth details on how to build meaningful, win-win interactions in this salesmanship guide. Learn how to: 
    • follow a tested formula for attracting and keeping clients; 
    • nurture clients and grow business; and 
    • network with other professionals to provide added value. 
    Roos also explains why using a scripted approach can create sales suicide—and what you need to do instead, where and when to leave your digital footprints (and when to cover them up or erase them completely), and how to get clients to respect you even when telling them what they don’t want to hear. 
    Establish trust, become a valued consultant, and build long-lasting success with the priceless insights in The Death of the Salesman and the Rise of the Trusted Financial Advisor.About the Author 
    Andre Roos is an award-winning financial advisor, aviation specialist, creative business principal, passionate leader, life coach, devoted husband, and loving father. He firmly believes that our weaknesses are the source of our strengths and that our failures are the roots of our successes. He lives in Cape Town, South Africa.

  • Running with Grace - A Wall Street Insider’s Path to True Leadership a Purposeful Life and Joy in the Face of Adversity - cover

    Running with Grace - A Wall...

    A 2023 Wall Street Journal Bestseller 
    Nothing about Lori Van Dusen’s childhood indicated she’d become one of the nation’s top independent financial advisors. She was born prematurely on the wrong side of the tracks and with a genetic blood disorder. Her parents divorced when she and her twin brother were less than a year old. But her big, boisterous, loving Italian family, led by her beloved grandfather, a first-generation American with only an eighth-grade education, taught her that the only limitations in life are those we impose on ourselves. 
    As a young person, Lori wanted to sing on Broadway, not manage money on Wall Street. But in 1986, this quiet, serious young woman walked into the rough-and-tumble, eat-what-you-kill world of Shearson Lehman Brothers and never looked back. She fought her way to the top by thinking outside the box and working her ass off despite the jeers, insults, and sideways glances. Her secret weapon? A need to prove herself so strong she could outwork anyone. 
    But Lori’s trajectory to the top was not a straight, upward line; it was a rollercoaster. She hit the pinnacle of success only to have it ripped away in a legal battle with one of the biggest banks in the world. She was raped by a PhD candidate at Harvard, swindled by a business partner, and battled two life-altering medical diagnoses. None of that, though, would compare to having the two people she loved most in the world taken way too soon. 
    Despite the fear and pain, Lori remained hopeful and resilient. In this memorable, poignant, and inspiring memoir, she shares her lowest lows and highest highs as well as hard-earned wisdom from her bumpy personal, professional, and spiritual journey. Life was never meant to be fair, she learned, but we must keep running with grace if we are to find purpose and joy in the face of adversity.
