Synopsis

"A wonderful story about leadership. In this little book, you will find the tools necessary to enhance your leadership journey. Thanks Patrick for giving us such a gift." Howard Behar, former president of Starbucks International

Discover how to become a highly effective leader in this inspiring leadership story.

Whether you are a startup founder, an entrepreneur, a manager who has just been promoted into a leadership position, or a senior executive, your success will depend on others. If you cannot lead people, groups, and organizations effectively, your teams will fail--and you will fail as a leader. In contrast, if you know how to transform a set of strong individuals into a thriving, cohesive team, the sky is the limit. If you know how to lead effectively, you will achieve the extraordinary.

But how do you become an effective leader? If you are anything like the many leaders Patrick Flesner has enjoyed working with, you also look for answers to this question. But the answers you get are often dissatisfying. Because they come pieces at a time. In fact, leadership advice comes in piecemeal fashion. There is no leadership framework you can follow systematically to become an effective leader. Therefore, you end up doing what you've always been doing. You lead using your gut feeling.

In The Leadership House, Patrick Flesner provides the answers you've been looking for. In this leadership story about a CEO who walks the challenging path to becoming an effective leader, he shares the long missing framework. He shares a leadership framework that will enable you to systematically develop your leadership skills and become the leader you want to be, a highly effective leader who leads with ease.

In The Leadership House, you will learn:

• Why trust is the foundation of effective leadership
• That a strong team is more than great talent in the right positions
• How to ensure your team members collaborate and embrace teamwork
• Why the accountability concept is key for leadership success
• How to empower your team members
• How to execute your plans

Wherever you are on your particular walk of life, in your career, and in your organization, you will benefit from and find value in this leadership guide wrapped in an inspiring leadership story.

"Great storytelling alongside with the simultaneous communication of facts. In this book, the essentials of leadership are impressively presented in an unusual and memorable setting." Gisbert Rühl, former CEO of Klöckner & Co SE

"Most leadership books are either too theoretic, esoteric, or complex--or all of the above. The Leadership House stands out. It conveys how to lead effectively, wrapped in an inspiring story full of leadership wisdom and actionable insights. This book is not only fun to read, but makes you learn how to lead with ease. Highly recommended for any leader and all who wish to become one." Matthias Heutger, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Innovation & Commercial Development at DHL Group
