Be a force for change, disrupt, innovate, energize.
Ferocious competition. Technological advances. Generational differences. Cultural diversity. Political policies and mandates. Economic uncertainty. Constant change.
These are the facts of business today. Whether at the helm of a digital startup, a management consultancy, a dental group, or an insurance agency, no business leader can afford to remain complacent or, worse, passive.
"Achievement takes planning, action, risk....and a zealously disruptive pursuit of goals," says Wesley Middleton, a strategic adviser and maverick leader in a traditional industry: accounting.
In VIOLENT LEADERSHIP, Middleton shares his aggressive leadership style for our turbulent times. Despite its abrasive ring, the term "Violent Leadership" has nothing to do with inciting conflict or sanctioning brutality. "It refers to a distinctive type of leadership that is passionate, innovative, and takes things by force," Middleton explains. "It is a positive and energetic pursuit of purpose and success."
Starting with the internal core of attitude and drive, Violent Leadership stresses the importance of being willing to listen, fail, and change, and being able to be a change agent.
