Editorial Reviews

Review

In Steve Farber's book: The Radical Leap Re-Energized :Doing What You Love in the Service of People Who Love What They Do I found it to be an engrossing book that stimulates the dreamer in all of us who truly want to make a difference. As I read the book I thought of the ideas Mr. Farber shared and how I would enthusiastically share the framework of The Radical Leap Re-Energize... with my colleagues since we share a common goal. Throughout the book, the loudest part for me was the importance that we must truly believe and embrace “our dream” to make a difference in the lives of people we serve. Clearly, it is often overwhelming trying to bring forth positive change when you constantly hear the negative chatter in your head implanted by those around you. Exploring the concepts/ framework in The Radical Leap Re-Energized: Doing What You Love is honestly the reason why people enter the fields/careers they do...Love. From an educator/team leader viewpoint the book directed me to channel my focus as positive energy to encourage others to maintain their dream and push forward in order to bring about positive enlightening change for our students. This energy will impact our future leaders and catch on like wildfire to move our society back into greatness. Many of the ideas Mr. Farber shared were humorous yet extremely insightful and unforgettable. Somewhere I read that when you reach a person on an emotional level their retention and application of the information stays with them longer. Mr. Farber does just that for the reader.

 

Mr. Farber and his book motivated me to enter each day with tireless positive energy, boldness to silence the negative background noise and use that bold courage to stand firmly with those of us sharing the common goal to positively move toward achieving our goal.

 

Mr. Farber's message is life changing and insightful regardless of where you stand in the line for making a difference doing what you love for the service of others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Radical Leap Re-energized, and readers will be, too! November 6, 2011

By Eleanor Biddulph

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Don't think for a moment that if you read the original Radical Leap and Radical Edge that there isn't anything to learn by reading this book! Not only is the combination of the two connected stories re-energized, but being refreshed in the true meaning of leadership - extreme leadership, the real purpose of leaders, and the creative and humorous story-telling style of Steve Farber are also re-energizing.

In a great merger of traditional and new story-telling medium, there are QR codes peppered throughout the book that link the reader to wonderful video clips of the author, providing enhanced content that helps the book come alive in the hands of the reader.

Know also that the lessons in this book are not just for business leadership. Although Radical Leap Re-energized is a business parable, the concepts of LEAP (cultivate Love, generate Energy, inspire Audacity and provide Proof) are just as applicable to every day life as they are to the boardroom or cubicle row. "Doing what you love in the service of people who love what you do" can be applied to all areas of life.

If you haven't been introduced to Steve Farber and his teachings on leadership, this book is a great place to start. Then, get a WUP and keep growing. (Read the book to find out what a WUP is!

5.0 out of 5 stars Radical made Practical November 5, 2011

By John N. Morgan

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Our organizational mission is: "Creating and Supporting Profound Leadership Making a Difference in the World." We live it, breath it, believe it every day. That mission is informed in no small way by Steve Farber's work. Lessons from Radical Leap and Radical Edge are part of our foundational teaching. In fact, I don't know how many copies of Radical Leap I have given away as it is the first and best book I share with someone on a path of leadership growth and development. No other book is so approachable, so practical, so obvious in providing profound insight into the fundamental core nature of leadership.

Now, with "Re-Energized," the material and message become even stronger. As I work in the realm of public sector leadership, Radical Edge with it's business focus was always a little off in focus. But, "Re-Energized" broadens the focus of the whole Radical message to encompass leadership in all dimensions of society while also strengthening the overall learning.

Plus, it is still a great read, much easier than all the academic leadership tombs. And, it delivers a fundamental, profound, and true learning in a way no other book can. Highly recommended.

By Greg Hartle

Format:Hardcover

This is a brilliant read for all leaders. The storytelling is magnificent and the lessons even more so. Steve Farber does an excellent job of outlining why radical leadership is critical today. Thank you for creating a paradigm shift for me, Steve. I'm a much stronger example for others having read this book and applying the principles.
