Leadership in 100 Days

Book excerpt: This is much more than a book. It's your coach-in-a-book. For a tiny fraction of the cost to hire a coach, Leadership in 100 Days offers you the roadmap to your success as a leader. Whatever goal you put your mind to (personal, professional and/or societal), this toolkit will give you the capacity to achieve it. "Very pragmatic self-study guide that with personal discipline provides a clear road map towards (increased) success." -Hans Toggweiler, CEO Americas, DHL Of course there are no guarantees. "Life is," John Lennon quipped famously, "what happens when you had other plans." But thousands of Dr. Zweifel's clients and students (3,258 and counting, to be Swiss and precise)-not to mention himself-have utilized these tools to meet strategic imperatives and realize their dreams, in business and in life, for more than three decades. "Leadership in 100 Days delivers what most leadership books don't: It gives you real access to leadership, day after day, brick by brick, on the job of making something happen. For any executive who needs to reboot his or her leadership, and for companies that need better leaders." -Hanspeter Mathis, Managing Director, Uvex Safety Switzerland Leaders have used this system to catalyze the achievement of their own dreams, from landing that dream job to launching a Brazilian restaurant in Harlem, from taking their family company into eCommerce to building a Blockchain startup, from boosting innovation to bringing a prototype to market, from creating a NGO in Benin to bringing the Olympic Games to Jerusalem. (Well, this last one is still underway, and frankly it's a bit of a long shot.) "Use the Global Leader Pyramid(R) to gain clarity in the dynamics of communication. Think first, find where you are in the Pyramid, and drive your meetings, conversations and relationships to action and success!" -Judd Maltin, Systems Principal Engineer, Dell Teams have profited from the system to reduce overtime and budget creep for a satellite build from 100% overtime (and over budget) to 10%, saving millions; to kill the billing backlog in a law-firm, making millions; to grow retail sales by 11% while retail in the industry declined; or to save $200 million by offshoring 5,000 knowledge workers while maintaining morale in a financial services giant. One used the roadmap to build his own executive jet company. A few years later he called Dr. Zweifel to report back that his company was now on Inc. Magazine's list of the 500 fastest-growing companies. The purpose of Leadership in 100 Days is to give both experienced and emerging leaders a vehicle (that's the original meaning of the word "coach" anyway; before there were automobiles, horse-drawn coaches brought people to their desired destinations) for self-paced, systematic self-coaching. "Indeed a 'coach in a book' that confronts you with your own blindspots and charts a course you might not take on your own-the path of leadership. A huge return on investment."-Martin Naville, CEO, Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce Put Leadership in 100 Days to work for you today-and build your success.
