Creating the Cutting-Edge Leaders Tomorrow Needs Through 8 Proven Principles

New book, Building the Best, provides leaders the tools they need—a balanced blend of love and discipline—to lead teams to great success.


Charlotte, NC, Nov. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” It’s an African proverb heard time and again in the leadership space; unfortunately, too often, leaders fail to live up to this potential.

A true leader—according to John Eades, speaker, coach, and author—is someone whose actions inspire, empower, and serve in order to elevate others over an extended period of time. These powerful words form the backbone of his groundbreaking guide, Building the Best: 8 Proven Leadership Principles to Elevate Others To Success, published by McGraw-Hill and available today.

In Building the Best, Eades calls on “the leaders who get up every morning and reject the notion of making their life all about themselves.” He believes that, at its core, successful leadership is a carefully balanced blend of love and discipline—contributing to someone’s long-term success and well-being while also promoting standards for that person to choose to be at their best.

Beginning with the benefits of great leadership—and the drawbacks of bad leadership—he offers real-life examples of leaders who elevate others, and demonstrates how their practices have paid huge dividends. Through these proven practices and honest narratives, readers will learn the fundamental guidelines for taking the first step in their leadership journey, including the following:

  • How to identify their current leadership style.
  • How to develop the skills of others by understanding the four stages of role development.
  • How to become a leader who believes their own success hinges upon the success and happiness of their team.
