Miles speaks frankly and offers hard-hitting, cold-hard truths behind effective leadership. In short concise chapters, he covers all of the Ten Knowledge Areas of Leadership in a way that I have been struggling to pack into one body of knowledge. Miles captures the essence of leadership including Decisiveness, Sacrifice, Leadership-etiquette, Risk-reward, Negotiation, Culture and Servant leadership to name a few. His insights are applicable at any level, from home-life to corporate Boards.

Are you having leadership struggles?
Do you wish you were in leadership? Or are you frustrated with being in leadership?
Why does leadership suck?
It sucks because real leadership is hard and requires selfless service. It sucks because the buck stops here, meaning it is ultimately the leader’s responsibility to deal with all of the crap. It requires less effort to “lead” in the harsh, dictatorial, selfish way that is so prevalent today instead of balancing our hard and soft nature. The alternative is servant leadership or Level 5 leadership. This kind of leadership is uncomfortable, humbling, self-denying, painful, and counter-intuitive; nonetheless, it is the only kind of leadership that brings lasting results, genuine happiness, and true self-fulfillment.
So, why should you read my book "Why Leadership Sucks"?
1. To help you understand why you are frustrated.
2. To challenge what you have learned about leadership.
3. To give you practical action steps to practice on your leadership journey.
I invite you to join me on our leadership journey together.
