Become the leader others want to follow
Forget everything you know about motivating others and building a harmonious workplace. If you want to get the best out of people, you must be willing to fight. But, that doesn't mean you become a dominator, nor does coddling others work.
The best leader you've ever had in your life was a liberator--someone willing to fight for your highest good, even at a personal cost. Inside, global leadership experts Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram explain what made that leader so unique, how to become that person yourself, and how to share the same gift with others.
- Be one of the few that people actually want to follow
- Learn the lost art of leadership--the intentional calibration of support and challenge for everyone you lead, your team and your family
- Become a multiplication master as you learn to bring the best out of people for their highest good and that of the whole team
- Overhaul entire cultures by focusing on the transformation and empowerment of sub-culture leaders

We are living in challenging times. The digital age is causing us to be available 24/7, while communication and collaboration are ever more difficult with teams being more and more geographically dispersed. With all of the uncertainty in the world, it is evident that we need leaders who will fight for the highest good of those they lead. As Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram explain in The 100X Leader: How to Become Someone Worth Following, true leadership is about more than getting to the top; it is about helping those you lead get to higher levels. You will learn how to expand your influence as you grow yourself, and learn how to create a system for multiplying healthy leadership to those you lead.
The process of multiplying leadership lies at the heart of The 100X Leader. Effective leaders see their role as one of helping others achieve their full potential. The person worth following must be secure, confident, and humble enough to help others grow their leadership skills, and then develop them to multiply those skills to others. In this book, the authors use the metaphor of Tibetan Sherpas, world-renowned guides who train themselves to climb mountains at elite levels, only to help the climbers they serve by helping them get to the top of the summit. Readers will learn practical tools that will allow them to lead like Sherpas, while gaining respect and increasing their influence from those they lead.
Becoming a 100X leader is not easy. It requires the humility and courage to identify our greatest fears and weaknesses, to face head-on the realities of how others perceive us, and to embark on a journey of change. Thankfully, there is now a roadmap, based on years of real-world experience at top organizations around the world, showing the way forward to leadership success that will make others take notice.
This book is structured with one goal in mind: to provide practical tools and proven techniques for developing unforgettable leaders. In organizations, on teams, at home, and even in the self-development realm, The 100X Leader will prove valuable in helping you become worth following. By becoming 100% healthy and learning to multiply ourselves to others, we can transform and empower those we lead to build great teams, and accomplish much more than ever imagined.
