Synopsis
For decades, business leaders have been focused on the external impact having influence affords them -- how influence affects others in the race to have it all. Fame. Fortune. Turnarounds. Buyouts. Acquisitions. Mergers. Each of these outcomes is directly correlated to how much influence is in play. What has not received anywhere near enough attention in the leadership conversation, however, is what it takes to achieve Unshakeable Influence. Unshakeable Influence requires winning the Inner Game of Leadership more than the outer game everyone sees. The outside world is fickle, at best. When we have an unshakeable inner game as leaders, the outer game tends to flow pretty easily. When our core as leaders is shakeable, everything we create from that place is unstable.Through exhilarating, relatable, and entertaining stories about motorcycle racing, Unshakeable Influence explores and examines what mastering the Inner Game of Leadership is, what it looks like, and what it means for leaders and the organizations they work for. The book also provides practical tips for recognizing, responding to, and optimizing what is going on inside us. True leadership power really comes down to how well we can influence others by carrying ourselves in a way that inspires, motivates, and brings out the best in everyone - including ourselves.Unshakeable Influence reveals how to relate to ourselves in new and more powerful ways by showing exactly how to maximize what's inside of us so that we not only lead in a whole new way but also live in a whole new way.
