New Book Shares Wisdom of Three Renowned Business Minds

Blanchard, Covey, Wolf  Tackle the Most Challenging Leadership Issues

(San Diego, Calif.)—In an age of unprecedented skepticism, how can corporate leaders gain the public’s trust? What does it take for managers to become first-rate leaders in today’s turbulent marketplace? How can leaders realistically conquer the most vexing challenges that confront them in our rapidly changing business environment?

These and other vital questions are examined by three of the nation’s premier business experts in the new book, Roadmap to Success: America’s Top Intellectual Minds Map Out Successful Business Strategies (Insight Publishing, 2008).

In a unique question-and-answer format, Ken Blanchard (The One Minute Manager), Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) and Jeff Wolf (The Essence of Effective Leadership, to be published in winter 2008) address the major concerns on managers’ and leaders’ minds, covering topics that range from the importance of listening and ongoing coaching to true definitions of success and survival in a multigenerational workplace.

“As a group, we wanted to tap into our specific areas of expertise and cut to the chase so readers can find pragmatic answers to their most pressing questions,” says Wolf, president of Wolf Management Consultants, LLC, one of the country’s most sought-after executive coaching firms. “Roadmap to Success serves as a mini-seminar. Like The One Minute Manager, it’s easy to digest, yet readers will come away with strategies that have the power to transform the way they operate in the workplace.”

The book’s premise is straightforward: Without a basic plan or roadmap, leaders will never achieve their maximum potential or success. Business executives must learn to avoid the detours and dead ends that can sidetrack their goals, objectives and careers.

“For most people, it usually requires a crisis that humbles them to become aware of their ineffective behaviors,” Covey says. “If there’s not a crisis, the tendency is to perpetuate those behaviors and not change.”

Roadmap to Success helps leaders avoid such crises by asking them to take an objective look at their ingrained habits and ineffective workplace behaviors.

“No leader can succeed without a clear, compelling and inspiring vision, which must be communicated in a way that everyone understands,” Wolf says. “Only then will people be motivated and inspired to work as a team toward common goals.”

Roadmap to Success is available for $19.95 from Wolf Management Consultants.
