Book excerpt: Motivation...Success...Leadership...Passion. Hall of Fame college basketball coach Jim Calhoun shares his secrets for success for the first time ever in A Passion to Lead. Coach Jim Calhoun is one of the most successful coaches in college basketball history. Having sent countless players to the NBA, Coach Calhoun is known for producing not just great athletes but great human beings. He is both an exceptional leader and self-made man whose ability to motivate and inspire young men is unsurpassed. In A Passion to Lead, he shares the fundamental principles that have allowed him to have an impact on so many. When he took command of the Connecticut Huskies, the team had had a losing record for five straight seasons. In twenty-one years of leadership, Calhoun has transformed a middling regional program into a national powerhouse with two NCAA championships. But what makes Coach Calhoun such an excellent leader? How did he take a program with a modest tradition and turn it into a national champ and perennial title contender? What is his management style? What are his motivational techniques? Calhoun reveals them here and includes anecdotes about his life as a coach, family man, and, ultimately, a teacher--as well as the following key principles: *Win Every Day: Talent determines what you can do in life. Motivation determines what you decide to do. Attitude determines how well you do it. *Standards, Then Victories: To build a winning organization, establish a culture of winning and make everyone accountable. Out of high standards come victories. *Tough Love: Pushing is only half the equation. Individuals perform best when they feel good about themselves. *And much more. A Passion to Lead is for all those who are serious about making their dreams a reality. It's a motivational tool for achieving success both at work and in life, and it can help turn any adversity into an advantage.

Book excerpt: Having led change successfully at three sprawling, monumental organizations—the CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defense—Robert M. Gates offers the ultimate insider's look at how leaders can transform large organizations and companies. For many Americans, bureaucracy and corporate structure are code words for inertia. Gates knows that it doesn't have to be that way. With stunning clarity, he shares how simple plans, faithfully executed, can cut through the mire of bureaucracy to reform organizational culture.

Using the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to duty, he empowers leaders at any level to effectively implement his leadership strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you do what you love and love what you do? How many of us are stuck in day jobs that really don't suit us? Has our heart left the building? It is so easy to go through the motions in leadership and management and lead with our heads, while our hearts long to be elsewhere. In this short new passion-packed book by Dr. Hans Finzel, you will learn what it means to work in your "passion zone." Hans explains from his own journey, how to find your passion zone and what action steps to take if you are far from that place of fulfillment. Specifically you will learn about how to match up your profile and wiring to just the right assignment. People love following leaders whose hearts are fueled by passion. This book will help you uncover what passion in your work really is, and how to find it, no matter what stage you are at in your career. The advice in this book is especially powerful for anyone in a role of leadership that is experiencing boredom or burn out. Life is too short to settle for less than the best-especially if we are called to lead other people. Leading from the heart is working and leading from your passion zone. Why does leading from the heart really matter? It can be natural to think, "If I am smart enough, gifted enough and work hard enough, of course people will respond to my leadership." The more gifted you are, and the smarter you are, the more that this can be a temptation and the easy default. The problem is, that kind of leadership does not inspire people and build deep loyalty. The opposite is often true. People follow people who they know, trust and believe. That trust is built between leader and follower within their hearts. People follow leaders who are operating in their "passion zone." There is some sort of a magnetic loyalty that grows in followers who respond to leaders who lead with passion out front. It seems that in today's fast paced always on digital world, less is more. So that is what the author is offering up this first in a series of mini books on big leadership topics.

Book excerpt: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams, 6th U.S. President (1825-1829) Do you want some new and fresh ideas on leadership? Do you need to re-energize your team? Leading with Passion delivers a high-energy and unique approach to developing a strong bond between leader and team. This book is based on the true story of author Matt Modugno's leadership style while leading his team to record achievements. His "keep it simple" strategy highlights all the areas of effective leadership like establishing boundaries, working with passion, creative communication, and establishing mutual respect and trust throughout the team. In different ways, we are all leaders in our lives. Some are parents, some are managers, some are public service leaders, teachers, coaches, or leaders for their families. Regardless of which type of leader you are, this book is about communicating effectively and inspiring others to achieve success. As Modugno illustrates, everything begins from having a positive foundation! This book should be in every leader's briefcase or office.

Book excerpt: This book addresses the nature of passion and emotion as a part of the leader-follower relationship. Those who lead must establish the ability to understand others' hopes, desires, and emotional priorities in order to unlock their highest potential. Great organizations and effective leaders accomplish extraordinary results by obtaining the commitment and dedication of all of their members. Leading with passion most effectively means that a leader also understands her or his own motivations and develops the ability to use those feelings and emotions in healthy and constructive ways. Passion enriches and enlarges the capacity to feel strongly and to care completely. But passion must also be fully understood and regulated in appropriate ways for a leader to be most effective. We trust that those who read this book will enjoy its chapters and will contemplate the ideas, suggestions, and challenges contained herein. We encourage the readers to utilize their passions to live a fuller and more satisfying life themselves - and to use those same passions to bless and serve the lives of others.
