Maverick Leadership: Seriously Bending Without Breaking the Rules

ELEVATE YOUR STATUS WHILE CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO. For anyone who is a leader, aspires to be a leader, or is seeking a new direction toward success in their career path, Scott Andersen delivers smart and useful tips the same way you would get advice from a good friend with a great sense of humor. A perfect combination of wise and wiseass, Maverick Leadership is packed with helpful information (“gold nuggets”) presented in a conversational tone that makes it fun to read and is organized in a practical format that makes it easy to implement. Andersen is creative, insightful, and never talks down to readers while sharing interesting strategies to move up in the business world. Not only will you discover ways to move up the ladder, but after reading this book you may very well be motivated to move the ladder. Whether you are just starting out, ready to make a job change, or positioning yourself to reach the next level, Maverick Leadership offers a variety of ideas that can be applied to many different situations. Even if you’re not yet in leadership role, Andersen shows you a roadmap to get there. You are the leader of your own future, and this book gives you the tools to build it into the kind you want it to be. Andersen’s methods are user-friendly and easily adaptable for a wide range of management styles and personalities. Well, unless you like for everything to stay the same regardless of results and prefer to do things the way they’ve always been done. In which case you should probably avoid this book. Or if you are already wildly successful in a fancy leadership role and rich beyond imagination. In which case you should probably buy a few thousand copies of this book and donate them to libraries nationwide, simply because you can. Scott Andersen doesn’t just help you work smarter, he helps you make work “funner” (yes, it’s a thing, just roll with it). Stuffed shirts need not apply. If you’ve ever felt stifled by corporate culture, wanted to influence positive change in your workplace, or wondered what to do with extra sauce packets from fast food takeout orders, Maverick Leadership is for you.
