Every leader should have immediate access to these two leadership references guides by placing them in their office bookcase and downloading them to their laptop, tablet, eReader, or smartphone.
In Can't Get Enough Leadership, author John Agno pulls it all together by taking a full 360-degree view on this multi-faceted subject we call leadership. In Triple Crown Leadership, the authors show that triple crown organizations, that are excellent, ethical and enduring, require a new brand of leadership.
One of the primary tasks of leadership is to get results--ideally, exceptional results. Leaders seeking to build their organizations engage people more, gain their loyalty and creativity, and inspire mutually beneficial relationships with other stakeholders.
Yet, in their quest for excellent results, most organizations fall short. Some cut ethical corners. Meanwhile, leaders today face new expectations about social impact and sustainability. The real question is not just how to achieve the results, the business ethics or the sustainability but how to achieve all three.
"Can't Get Enough Leadership: Self-Coaching Secrets" can be used as a "get unstuck guide for leadership," as the self-coaching tips will get you thinking about what you have to do in your current leadership and management position to stimulate productivity and creativity. The sections of this unique guidebook contain multiple insights on the topics of: leadership principles, self knowledge, accidental leaders, leadership brand, success and failure, interpersonal relations, creativity, work life, knowledge workers, leadership transitions, and leadership self-coaching tips.

"Triple Crown Leadership" focuses not just on excellent results and ethical practices but also on making them endure. For example, when Amazon.com went public in 1997, its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos issued a manifesto in which he wrote that "It's all about the long term," and that they are focused on building "something that we call tell our grandchildren about." In interviews, Bezos has argued that by lengthening its time horizon, the company can engage in endeavors that it could never otherwise pursue.
Major leadership in action sections of Triple Crown Leadership include:
Breakdowns: Personal and Organizational
Turnarounds: Early Stage and Rebirths
Startups: Built to Last or Built to Flip
Social Impact: In parallel with Financial Performance
