Roy A Newey: Avoiding The Curse Of The Undead, Gebunden

Klappentext

At the heart of this journey is the train's driver-the business owner-who must provide vision, energy, and direction to keep the train moving. The "why" acts as fuel, igniting purpose and ensuring the entire train operates toward a unified goal. The train risks stalling or veering off course without a clear destination or sufficient fuel.

Passengers represent your team, with senior leaders in first class, directly influencing direction and speed. Just as passengers have tickets and purposes, team members must align with the company's vision and contribute to progress. But as the train accelerates, some passengers-unable to adapt-become the "Undead." These individuals remain on board but drain energy, slow momentum, and create obstacles.

The book helps leaders identify the "Undead" and offers strategies to help them disembark, ensuring the train regains momentum. It highlights the importance of clear, compassionate decision-making and how transitions strengthen alignment with the company's purpose.

The tracks symbolize business infrastructure: processes, systems, and strategies. Just as a train needs sturdy tracks, a business must rely on strong foundations for stability and resilience. Stations represent milestones-major achievements, market expansions, or organizational shifts-while curves and hills mirror every business's challenges.

An advisory team of 21 influential figures-visionaries, business leaders, and political strategists-step aboard to offer wisdom. These advisors, drawn from history and contemporary times, illuminate every stage of the journey. Their insights help navigate steep climbs, celebrate breakthroughs, and reinforce that leadership is both an art and a science.

But the journey isn't just about reaching the destination-it's about leadership and culture. Using the 5-Level Leadership Scoring System, The Business Train invites readers to assess their leadership style and improve their ability to guide others. It challenges them to confront the "Undead" with courage and embrace responsibility for setting a clear path forward.

Packed with relatable stories, actionable strategies, and practical exercises, The Business Train transforms abstract concepts into tangible lessons, offering leaders a fresh approach to growth and transformation. Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out, this book equips you with the mindset and tools to navigate the unpredictable tracks of business with confidence and resilience.

Step into the driver's seat, align your passengers, and set your sights on Station Z-because the journey of a thriving, purpose-driven business begins with a clear destination and the courage to keep moving forward.
