Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts (eBook, ePUB)

How to Lead Like Your Life Depends on It

Beschreibung

What if you learned that to lead well, you'd need to live like a drug addict? During treatment for drug addiction, Michael Brody-Waite learned three principles that became the difference between life and death:

• Practice rigorous authenticity
• Surrender the outcome
• Do uncomfortable work

Leaving rehab, Michael entered the workplace where he was shocked to see most business leaders doing what he had been taught would kill him. He began to see striking similarities between drug addiction and what he calls "mask addiction." Leaders everywhere were hiding their authentic selves in order to get what they wanted. They were doing things like:

• Saying yes when they could say no
• Hiding their weaknesses
• Avoiding difficult conversations
• Holding back their unique perspectives

Instead of chasing drugs, leaders were chasing professional, financial, and social success from behind a mask-to the detriment of themselves and the people around them. Thanks to his recovery, Michael's three principles gave him an unlikely competitive advantage throughout his career, resulting in a level of success unexpected for a "drug addict." In Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts, Michael explains what drug addicts do to recover and provides a step-by-step program you can use to break free from your mask addiction to thrive in both work and life. He equips you with the tools you need to live and lead mask-free-tools to enable you to stop following others, lead yourself, and become one of the dynamic, growing, authentic leaders this world desperately needs.

Now, Michael is an acclaimed speaker, and Inc. 500 Entrepreneur, an award-winning 3-time CEO, and leadership coach. Now, he is on a mission to redefine what it means to be a successful leader. But it didn't start that way. Michael Brody-Waite was kicked out of college, kicked out of his job, and kicked out of his apartment. Every day at the age of 23, he drank a fifth of vodka, a 12-pack of beer, and smoked two packs of cigarettes and as much weed and various drugs as he could get his hands on. But Michael Brody-Waite transformed himself. His passion for this transformation has led him to build his Authentic Leadership System delivered to others via speaking engagements, workshops, coaching, an online course, and the authentic leader community. His "superpower" is guiding leaders and their companies to unlock the tremendous potential that inauthenticity traps inside every company, team, and individual. Michael's TEDx Nashville YouTube video has been seen by nearly one million people in 25 countries and provides insight into his 16-year journey from near homelessness and addiction to successful entrepreneurship. Michael created the Authentic Leadership System built upon the three principles inspired by his recovery, to show leaders how to achieve balance, reclaim energy, and create more success in work and life. In 2010, Michael left a Fortune 50 company at the height of the recession to co-found and lead InQuicker, a healthcare SaaS company that allows patients to self-schedule appointments. Under his leadership, the organization grew to 20,000% revenue growth in less than 6 years. This exceptional growth landed InQuicker a spot on the Inc. 500 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies. Additionally, InQuicker was named "Best Place to Work" four times and recognized as Healthcare Company of the Year. In 2015, InQuicker was sold to a publicly traded company. After selling his company, Michael served for 3 years as the CEO of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, a 501c3 that helps more than 2,000 entrepreneurs every year start or grow a business. Brody-Waite's accomplishments include being named Most Admired CEO and to the Top 40 Under 40 and being recognized by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce as Healthcare Entrepreneur of the Year. Today, Michael is on a mission to create a society of authentic leaders. In his personal time, he is focused on being the best husband, father, and recovering addict he can be.
