Title: Leading While Green

Subtitle: How Emerging Leaders Can Ripen into Effective Leaders

Author: Pierre Quinn

Narrator: Mark Peterson

Publisher's Summary:

Do any of these phrases sound familiar?

You're still wet behind the ears.

You still need training wheels.

You'll get the hang of it.

You need someone to hold your hand.

You're too green.

The real world doesn't look favorably upon beginners. Young leaders who are given the opportunity to excel are, more often than not, simultaneously reminded by the same ol' cynics just how young and inexperienced they are; just how large of a road they have ahead of them. If you can relate to this experience in any way then you are exactly the person I had in mind while writing this book.

With more than a decade of experience teaching leadership principles to college students, I've helped scores of young adults discover their leadership potential and begin their journey toward powerful and confident leadership. The tools I share in this book have helped teachers, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, non-profit directors, and business coaches navigate their journeys from green to ripened.

Awesome and quick read!

It took me about 30 minutes to read through. Someone might think, those 30 min could have been used for anything else, was this book even worth it? But, reading how to get better is often exactly what an aspiring good leader needs to do.

I would recommend

Everything I needed to know in one book! Good advice for success! Thanks.

Publisher: JBP Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Use these powerful techniques to improve and enhance your leadership skills immediately!

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to awaken, utilize, and maximize the natural leadership potential that you possess.

Leadership opportunities are not just confined in the workplace. Each day, in common life situations, a couple of leadership opportunities actually present themselves to you. To be a leader is to be responsible for your domain, whether that is the office, your team, your business, your field of study, your home, or your neighborhood. Contrary to what most people believe, leadership doesn't come from a position, a title, or even a crown. It is not who you are that makes you a leader. It's what you do, and more importantly, it's how you do it. Each time you make a decision about your life, you practice leadership. You actually become a leader each time you influence someone toward a certain path. Through this book, you will learn the true definition of leadership, the common misconceptions, and the most valuable qualities of a true leader.

The ancient model of command and control leadership is growing less and less applicable in modern work environments. The current trend is knocking down organizational structure. It's a great thing that people are starting to look for more than just a satisfactory job. Smart individuals are searching for careers that enable them to become more actively involved in decision-making. Whether you're a business owner, a manager, or an employee aspiring for a leadership role, this book will teach you strategies on how to motivate others.

THE BOOK THAT SHOWS HOW CONSUMER RESEARCH IS COMPELLING AND POWERFUL

I feel smarter having read this book. I am in consumer research and always looking to get an edge. I remember a few years ago "feeling" a change with how Frito-Lay marketed its products. Now I see what they did and am excited to be on the lookout for what comes next.

Great Business Book for Anyone, from Entrepreneur to Executive

Rocket is an extremely easy and entertaining read and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends. Rocket gives you the insights in to what makes brands great through telling the stories of others whom have elevated their own brands. By introducing content, and then showing how it was implemented through these case examples, Rocket makes it clear how to apply the lessons from the book - and makes it FUN! Moreover, given the structure of the book, it is easy to pick up Rocket and begin reading on any page and take something away. Each chapter concludes with an incredibly powerful, concise summary of the rules and how they can be applied TODAY in your business.

Great book about brands

Rocket is a great, fast read. It presents eight, simple rules on how to be a great brand. The book combines concepts with case studies on brands that are relevant to my life, which makes it easy to understand and fun. The key takeaways and action points at the end of each chapter help me think about how I can apply the eight rules for the companies I work with. Highly recommend!

Very short book

Nothing new in terms of lessons for me. But this book does have a detailed outline of Marks life as much as possible. I liked it although this info maybe available on YouTube documentaries for free

Stupid book. A real waste of time.

Worst $4. I've svc ever spent. No mention of the technology. No mention of the timing. Mark is not the lucky one who found it first. No! He is an icon of business prudence.

And if we copy him, we will be too!

Stupid book

awful

this was really bad. a bit of History and very general advice repetitive and boring

Misti Burmeister delivers again, thought provoking and inspiring! DW

The Book Delivers!!

This woman is a genius! The book is awesome!

Why you and I need to have our greatness provoked

Provoking is to Inspiring as Disruption is to Innovation. Ever watch your footprint in wet sand look so pure and beautiful and then have the sand and ocean wash it away so easily? The more complicated and potentially overwhelming the world, the more difficult it is to exhibit and then sustain greatness without having it quickly get washed away and without our being pulled back into a life much less than is possible for you.

Misti's VOICE model is just what you need to help you keep your greatness out in the open and then keep it alive in your life. Here's a teaser:

V: VisionâPainting a clear picture of an ideal future that inspires people into action

O: OwnershipâAccepting full responsibility for results

I: IntentionsâBeing purposeful about intended outcomes

C: CommunityâFostering environments where people feel connected to one another

E: EnergyâHaving passion and unstoppable drive at the highest level within a company

Buy this book today and put it into practice today for a great tomorrow and great forever.

Easy read, great insight, important to implement

Misti makes this book completely accessible--it reads like you are having a conversation with her. The conversational nature of the book doesn't take anything away from how insightful, thought provoking, or important this book is. The conversational nature just makes the book easier to read, easier to comprehend, and easier to figure out how I will be able to make the ideas in the book a more important part of my leadership style in the future.

Misti walks the reader through vision, ownership, intentions, community, and energy. There are great quotes in each section that help the reader to remember key elements of what Misti is communicating and that help to make it easier for me to think about how these ideas can be integrated into my own future as a manager and leader. The ideas include things as simple as making sure that the work is interesting for those in the organization, the importance of allowing for and learning from failure, recognizing what I value and how I communicate that, creating environments that encourage interaction, and making sure that leaders and everyone in the organization has the energy they need to do the work that the organization is trying to achieve. The last of these then relates back to ideas throughout like delegation, giving people more responsibility, and giving people more room to fail and grow.

While this book can be read quickly, the ideas will take me a long time to master. However, I know I'll be able to turn back to the book whenever I need to and find a little inspiration to help me continue to improve my leadership and provoke greatness within my organization.

Amazing Insight & Actionable Steps

There's something about the way that Misti writes that not only makes me want to read the next page, but actually put what she's conveying into action.
