“Rising to Power: The Journey of Exceptional Executives” (2014)
AMAZON BEST SELLER IN MENTORING & COACHING Rising to Power is a time tested, wisdom-packed guide for executives desiring to be exceptional leaders as they navigate their ascent to the highest levels of their organization. Nearly two-thirds of all leaders entering executive roles lack sufficient understanding of what is required and are unprepared for what they will face, which explains why 50 percent of them fail within the first eighteen months. For decades we have known that failure rates among transitioning executives are too high, causing exorbitant costs, damaged organizations, and stalled careers. Still, little has changed in the way organizations prepare leaders to assume executive positions. Three-fourths of new executives say their organization did not adequately prepare them for the executive office. It doesn't have to be this way. If you are an executive--or you're aspiring to be one--and considering how you will navigate the ascent in your organization, Rising to Power will serve you like no other resource can. Odds are high you have watched a promising executive fail on their way up. Like many, you scratched your head, wondering, ''Why didn't they see that coming?'' Now you're hoping not to be the next one that falls. Rising to Power will guide you on a predictable journey of ascent, through the transitional moments and issues most common in executive failure. It will bolster your confidence, open your eyes, deepen your insight, and if you let it, reveal your own proclivities for failure that you may not even recognize. Based on a ten-year longitudinal study, Rising to Power offers a profoundly new way of looking at an executive's rise in an organization, and offers an approach to significantly increase your odds of success.
“Future In-Formation: Choosing a Generative Organizational Life” (2008)
As the first decade of the 21st century inches toward a close, the most urgent and persistent questions facing organizations appear to be a more acute version of those that trouble organizations in the final decade of the last century. They all come down to this: How do we maximize human endeavor? Grappling with epidemic talent defection and escalating turnover costs, the inability to develop leaders fast enough, straining to eek out greater performance with fewer resources, building cultures that welcome diverse views to maximize innovation, struggling to be hospitable to ever diversifying demographics, generational values conflicts...and all in the center spotlight in a global stage, enterprise leaders are desperate for answers.Perhaps it's time to change the questions. Organizations have gorged on a revolving door of fads to contend with these perplexing challenges and are desperately hunting for the silver bullet that unlocks the mystery of how to let loose the power and passion of human potential.With a future hurling at us at great speed and with impressive force and uncertainty, perhaps it's time to turn from our fixation with tips and techniques?In Future in-Formation: Choosing a Generative Organizational Life, more fundamental and transformative questions are explored...ones that have been shown to truly unleash the greatest levels of passion and performance from people organized around any human endeavor. Moving away from quick-fix easy answers toward a holistic set of questions, Passages Consulting explores the deepest questions communities and their members have always asked that have led to the breakthroughs and zeal every leader hopes to discover in themselves and those they lead.Future in-Formation will astound you, surprise you, inspire you, and ultimately enable you to build a generative organizational life for those with whom you lead...and unlock levels of perormanode, passion, and purpose you've never imagined possible.Ron and Josh's insightful grasp and articulation of what they aptly name "generative leadership" is desperately needed in today's business climate. Their work is an inviting oasis within today's corporate world where relational "heart and soul" are all too often sacrificed on the altar of short term "efficiency". If you're a leader aiming to creating enduring greatness within your organization, you must engage in the truth Ron & Josh unfold in this book! – Peter Ash, CEO, NDG Financial CorporationRon Carucci and Josh Epperson's thought provoking book provides a blueprint for leading and becoming a positive force within our own lives and within our organizations. A cautionary note: the tasks proposed in this book are not for the weak. Future in-Formation first invites the reader to think along with the authors, but then presents a series of challenging questions which can only be answered through hard work and soul searching. Having watched Ron Carucci and Josh Epperson at work, I am convinced that the readers' own unique answers to these questions can transform those who have the courage to face them. –Melodie Blacklidge, M.D.President, Medical Staff Cincinnati Children's Hospital
“Leadership Divided: What Emerging Leaders Need and What You Might Be Missing” (2006)
How senior leaders can re-connect to the emerging leaders hidden in their organizations A sea change has taken place throughout the culture of leadership; today’s emerging leaders are "opting out" of the same positions their predecessors coveted in years past. But many senior managers trained in traditional leadership still hang onto outdated approaches of command and control despite how much they’ve heard about "empowerment" and inclusion. At the core of this book is the fictional suspense story of Brookreme Corporation, whose leaders are challenged to chart a course to a global future, navigating relational land mines along the way. With both story telling and hard research, Leadership Divided reconnects generations and instructs both senior and emerging leaders on how the relationships of the future will be the path to revolutionary performance.
