"The best leadership book I've read."
--Gary Owcar, president, CNA Global
Greg Hicks has created the LeaderShock program - a revolutionary new way to lead that's based on seven years of breakthrough research into flourishing leaders and organizational cultures. His award-winning program has shown thousands how to thrive in spite of a worldwide business culture that has us managing from one crisis to the next, fighting forces beyond our control, and taking actions that don't "pay-off." Now it's your turn to thrive.
Unlike other books that prescribe generic leadership traits, this book offers a radically different solution: a practical roadmap of eight behavioral rules you can use regardless of your personality, experience level, organizational culture, gender, or age. Adopt all eight rules and something amazing happens - all those outside forces beyond your control will no longer control you.
Whether you lead a three-person team or a multinational conglomerate, this clear and concise book will show you how to:
* Activate and express "Intentions" to create extraordinary relationships and get the outcomes you really want.
* Use "Recasting" - A surprising and acutely analytical new way to convert stress into strength.
* Create a uniquely accountable and truth-driven culture that excites and motivates your people.
* Become proactive and forceful without overpowering others.
As practical as it is liberating, LeaderShock ...And How to Triumph over It will systematically guide you to find what every leader wants - powerful effectiveness and personal exhilaration. The timing has never been so right.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding, Practical Book on Leadership,
By Michael Buschmohle "Communications Trainer" (Sammamish, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Leadershock... And How to Triumph Over It: Eight Revolutionary Rules for Becoming a Powerful and Exhiliarated Leader (Paperback)
I'm amazed that no one has written a review of this outstanding book. It is my intention to shout the praises of this book so that you will consider picking it up and applying the simple but honestly powerful ideas. I bought this book when it was first published in 2003, read it, absorbed the ideas in it, and have been teaching them ever since in communications classes in the U.S., China, and Europe.
Cleaning out my office this week, I re-discovered and re-read the book and am again amazed at the clarity and persuasiveness of what Greg Hicks has written. Highlights. 1. This is a short book (191 pages)in easy to read type so it could be read in one sitting. 2. Leadershock refers to the reality leaders face today being Overwhelmed, Overloaded, and Overstressed. The author offers 8 rules for overcoming Leadershock. 3. Most powerful idea is Rule Number One: Activate Intentions. Each day, before each action, do two things: set your intentions (attitude and the behavior you'll take) and state your intentions at the beginning of every communication. "My intention in calling this meeting today is..." No BS here, just sound psychology and a way to clarify communications and build trust. 4. The Rule on Recasting Stress is brilliant: Discover what you are feeling (emotions), figure out the meaning of your emotions, explore the opportunities this situation presents. Loaded with real examples anyone can relate to, this book is more practical than anything on leadership, working in teams, and managing conflict that I've read in 40 years. Check it out.
