From writing hundreds of articles over the years for Leadership Guide Magazine we have obtained a good sense of the “best of the best" in business and leadership writing. In this edition of the magazine we feature the timely leadership thinking of just such a top-notch leadership thinker, Jon Gordon - precisely when his positive and PRACTICAL messages are so needed.
In Refuse to Participate in the Recession: Five practical Tips to “Thrive Right Now,” Gordon gives practical advice to help leaders turn current challenges into opportunity: Despite what you have been hearing, now is a great opportunity for you and your organization to create lasting success,” he notes. “Study history and you’ll find that a lot of people and organizations made a name for themselves and grew their businesses during recessions and downturns.”
Gordon also guest authors another outstanding article that is related to his business book bestseller The Energy Bus. In "Get the Right People on the Bus,” Gordon discusses a topic not discussed enough: learning how to select the right team members for maximum effectiveness. “As managers, team leaders, and engaged employees it’s not enough to say that we need to get the right people on the bus. We must identify who the right people are and create a process that gets them on the right bus and in the right seat,” he says.
We hope you enjoy the articles. In addition, please remember that we have archived hundreds of leadership articles from past issues of our magazine. They can be found in our Leader Library.
