The Steady Leader

Leadership Models That Bring Clarity to Chaos

Beschreibung

Lead yourself. Lead your team. Lead your company. Most people try to target one of these at a time, but the truth is, they all build off each other. Want to lead your team better? Learn how to lead yourself first. Want to lead your company well? Learn how to lead your team. In the chaos of running a business, we can complicate what it means to lead. But at the end of the day, leadership really boils down to one clear tenet: taking care of people. It's about teaching others how to think so that they can get what they want. It's about enabling people to be and to do their best. While there's no formula for great leadership, there are opportunities to "stand on the shoulders of giants," to follow the example of those who have gone before us, to mimic and adapt techniques that have worked for others. That's precisely what this book is: a collection of models that will help you lead better. Each chapter will provide real stories and examples, leadership and business principles, and actionable items and advice with the goal of equipping you to lead yourself, your team, and your company better. The Steady Leader is your guide to unlocking your full potential as an individual, leader, and advocate--both in and out of the workplace.

Autor

Schuyler Williamson is a leadership expert and keynote speaker, award-winning entrepreneur, and military veteran who has consistently achieved at the highest level in every facet of his career. As the author of his debut book, The Steady Leader: Leadership Models That Bring Clarity to Chaos, Schuyler provides a blueprint for leading through turbulent times, offering actionable strategies for thriving amid uncertainty. With an MBA from The McCombs School of Business, where he ranked #3 in his graduating class, Schuyler blends academic rigor with real-world experience as he inspires, motivates, and coaches leaders to navigate chaos with steadiness and confidence. As a globally recognized keynote speaker, he has addressed major organizations like Oracle, Dell, Keller Williams Realty, Care.com, Logitech, Smith + Nephew, and Financial Executives International, showcasing his ability to equip others to lead through disruption and chaos while achieving excellence. Schuyler's expertise in leadership through chaos is rooted in his military service as a combat officer with the 1st Cavalry and 82nd Airborne Divisions, where he was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Meritorious Service Medal, he led in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. He also earned the honor grad distinction in the mountain phase of Ranger School, exemplifying his ability to excel in extreme conditions. His military foundation was solidified at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class. Schuyler is no stranger to peak achievement in the business world. After being drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2005 and completing his active-duty US Army career, he transitioned to a career in real estate, where he now ranks in the top 1 percent of agents nationwide, with hundreds of millions in sales. He has been honored with the prestigious Platinum Top 50 and Austin Under 40 awards in Austin real estate and owns over fifty-five investment properties. His entrepreneurial ventures include founding Williamson Group Real Estate, Mission Home Builders in Austin, and the Laundry Luv franchise. As the host of the Money Mission YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of video views, Schuyler regularly shares insights on leadership, wealth building, and resilience. He also spearheads the Corporate Battlefield Mastermind in Austin, Texas, an elite group focused on leadership and wealth creation for high achievers facing complex challenges. Committed to giving back, Schuyler's Corporate Battlefield Mastermind donates generously to teachers in need, and he volunteers with SCORE and Marbridge in addition to serving as a foster parent. Schuyler's leadership journey is a testament to thriving under pressure, achieving at the highest levels, and guiding others to do the same. Whether leading teams in combat, building wealth through real estate, or inspiring business leaders at global conferences, Schuyler's message is clear: true leadership shines brightest in times of chaos.
