This book is about FOLLOWERSHIP, one of the 10 Core Competencies of Effectiveness, your ability to consistently produce excellent results in support of your employer in the accomplishment of his goals. Volume 1: Your Guide to Better Followership, is one 10 books that comprise The Effectiveness Guide, which was created to provide you with the best-in-class knowledge, wisdom, and advice on how you can become more effective at work and in life. The Effectiveness Guide focuses on each of the 10 Core Competencies of Effectiveness with include Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character. This guide contains over 1000 actionable Tactics, Techniques, and Tools (or best practices) that have proven reliable in helping others maximize their true career potential by becoming more effective tomorrow that you are today. In a 21st-century world, the best companies, the ones who make it to the top in their industry, are thriving because they're breaking all the traditional rules and stereotypes of conventional leadership. Positions, titles, and organizational charts are meaningless. Over my 20+ years as executive coach, working with hundreds of business executives and small business owners, I learned the real reasons most businesses today are struggling, while a few are thriving. The truth is that being selected for a leadership or management position is not something you control. Others, like your employer, make those decisions. You can influence other people, but you cannot control them. However, you can control and therefore change (measure and increase) your level of effectiveness. It's clear to me that the leadership and management wisdom we've used for years doesn't work anymore and is failing us in several critical areas. There's got to be a better way. Well, there is, and it's called effectiveness: both personal and team effectiveness. I know this to be true because I've spent 50+ years of my life seeking the answer to this simple question, WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHERS? What do they think, say, and do that made them more effective? During that time, I served 23 years as a US Army Officer and 21 years as an Executive Coach in Corporate America. Here, I was privileged to work with some of the most exceptional men and women in America who were real game-changers, self-starters, and highly effective people. Through their example, I learned the true meaning of effectiveness by documenting what they did, how they did it, and most importantly, how they made us feel. So, how can you become more effective, when it's not taught anywhere in academia or your company? Here's the good news! The beauty of The Effectiveness Guide is that it teaches you how to enhance your individual and team effectiveness, regardless of your title, position, function, or level of authority. I know from experience that by learning, using, and training others on the 10 Core Competencies of Effectiveness, you'll become more effective with each passing day. I also know that without your direct intervention in your career, you're leaving your career to chance. You have too much to lose by not taking a more active role in learning the critical skills needed for successful job performance. Doing nothing and waiting for someone else to make you more effective, is the definition of complacency, which will kill your career. So, if you're looking for a better way to become absolutely essential and irreplaceable to any employer lucky enough to have you on his team, this guide will be the best investment you will ever make in your career.
