Jim Dethemer is a Co-Founder of the Conscious Leadership Group (CLG) a leadership consulting and training organization. Throughout his career, Jim has coached leaders from Fortune 500 companies to early stage entrepreneur. Today we are talking about his outstanding book: The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success

Key Ideas : (1) Plant the right seeds: Don't waste time doing a bunch of different things just to please your customers. Instead, identify the thing you do better than anyone else and focus all of your attention, money, and time on figuring out how to grow your company doing it. (2)Weed out the losers: In a pumpkin patch small, rotten pumpkins stunt the growth of the robust, healthy ones. The same is true of customers. Figure out which customers add the most value and provide the best opportunities for sustained growth. Then ditch the worst of the worst. (3)Nurture the winners: Once you figure out who your best customers are, blow their minds with care. Discover their unfulfilled needs, innovate to make their wishes come true, and over deliver on every single promise.
