The Book – GOOD SUCCESS: Learning Good Lessons from Bad Leaders

The purpose of this book is to help you learn and integrate into your life and career, good lessons learned from bad leaders who have or may yet cause you setbacks, disillusionment, and consume your energy and hope.

This book will help you extract good lessons from ineffective leaders who don’t produce positive results, but think their actions are exemplary and their leadership praiseworthy. Good Success will teach you how to build your productivity and personal brand despite bad leaders.

This book will help you to emulate the positive in good leadership, while being alert, discerning, and able to avoid the negative in bad leadership.

Ignoring bad leaders or not learning from the harm they cause are not strategies for those seeking to become strong, bold, risk-taking and extraordinary leaders. Good Success provisions you with the savvy to overcome even the most egregious leaders.

There are no bad lessons, only hard lessons derived from bad events, bad results, or bad leaders. These provide the fertile ground from which you can learn good lessons. Otherwise, bad leaders and the bad situations they create remain only detrimental to your success.

Learning good lessons helps bring one’s salary, benefits, and workplace social relationships into more meaningful context. Learning good lessons reverses the negative grip of bad leaders, provides the upper hand and sometimes even the last laugh. Otherwise, all that may remain from bad leaders is a profound sense of loss and disappointment.

Life is too short to work with and for those who prove themselves to be bad leaders if you don’t have the tools to extract the good lessons and make dysfunctions work for you. Once applied the Good Lessons Affirmation creates the perspective and momentum to negate the personal turmoil and chaos created by bad leaders.

There are books that describe positive leadership behaviors, strategies, and tactics to be emulated. But, Good Success takes a substantially different, fresh approach to identifying and avoiding fifty-two typical, insidious leadership failures.

This is not a book about corporate strategy or how to identify great commercial opportunities, but about the gritty, earthy issues of thriving while coping with the effects of bad leaders.

This book will help you to live and lead effectively in spite of having encountered bad leaders and the spillover from their actions and attitudes.
