Leadership is a risky business. In the current world, change is the
new normal and only constant. As change grows, so does risk. Thus,
leaders must be master change agents and master mitigators of risk.
But, how will leaders succeed if they don’t measure and lack
insight? Simply put, they won’t. Those that are successful in
these arenas will ride the waves of success during their tenure on
the leadership stage. In contrast, their counterparts will be
crushed by the never-ending waves of disruption. Often leaders or
those aspiring erroneously view leadership power from a
self-interested perspective. They see power through the lens of a
title, position, control over others, influence, emotional
intelligence, and the like. Unfortunately, this view is misaligned
and short-cited. Another perspective of leadership is the ability
to impact positive change for those around you. In reality, leaders
are those that use their gifts, skills, and knowledge to educate
and empower others in the long run. The purpose of this book is to
unveil insight as to the true meaning of leadership power -- How to
attain it, how to leverage it to add the greatest amount of value
to humanity, how to weaponize it to marginalize and eliminate risk,
and how to share it with others so they can carry the torch once
you step off the leadership stage. In this book. readers will
learn: • How to master the art of change • The value of
leadership self-advocacy • The pearls and pitfalls of leading
integration teams • The unintended consequences of sharing
knowledge • The sidewinder effect of misinterpreting root causes
of success • The leadership test of humility • Leadership
matchmaking to ensure the right leaders are selected to solve the
organization’s problems • Leadership Loopholes: The Houdini
Effect • The risk of underestimating leadership value • The
risk of not focusing on the right attributes • The risk of
leading turnarounds.
Why do some leaders succeed and others fail? Is there a magic
ingredient that the leaders must consider in their career journey
to ensure the joy ride does not turn into a nightmare? What is the
key to maximizing leaders' success in ways that are sustainable
long term? The purpose of this book is to provide a simple road map
for leaders, aspiring leaders, students, and anyone interested in
the art of leadership to succeed in high-risk environments. Often,
leaders don't know what they don't know. One main culprit is the
lack of assessing, measuring, analyzing, and addressing risk.
Simply put, we don't know what we don't measure. What is not known
can and will eventually harm leaders, organizations, and their
customers. Change is the new normal and only constant. As change
grows, so does risk. Risk can be a friend or foe to thought
leaders. It all depends on perspective, insight, and knowledge.
Ignorance is never bliss, and leaders must leverage knowledge to
mitigate risks at every turn. In The 10 Cardinal Sins of
Leadership: What Thought Leaders Must Never Do to Succeed in
High-Risk Environments, readers will learn: How to identify,
measure, analyze, and address various types of risk How to
determine if risk is a friend or a foe Strategic planning concepts
that will allow leaders to magnify, plan for, leverage, and
marginalize risks long term Methods to ensure that inclusion
efforts do not become overly exclusive, thus excluding key
stakeholders and creating new levels of organizational risk
Techniques for looking back at organizational yesteryears to create
a high-performing journey map for the road ahead The value of
perspective - how we view things determines how we respond or wait
to be disrupted unknowingly

The key to effective leadership is being fit for the challenge.
Leadership is a perpetual boxing match in many respects in which
preparation, stamina and skill are required. Only the strongest
survive. Every decision and tollgate along the career journey is
laden with risk. Those leaders who harness risk to their advantage
will land the knockout punch in every fight. The only question is
how many leaders will be fit enough for the challenge? The purpose
of this book is to provide insight on how risk impacts every aspect
of leadership, including the mundane, routine and nonglamorous
aspects of leadership. This is important because often the small
things can easily turn into big disruptors. Moreover, the end goal
is to equip leaders with a journey map and quick guide to win in
high-risk environments. Change is the new normal and only constant
in today's world. As change increases, so will risk and its
subsequent impacts on humanity. This includes leaders,
organizations and customers. No one is exempt. In this book,
readers learn how to: Determine which career battles to fight and
which ones to avoid Prepare to fight the unavoidable challenges
along the career journey Leverage risk to choose the right leaders
for the team Leverage risk to invest time wisely and avoid wasting
it Leverage risk to predict, identify and resolve leadership
burnout Risk assess leadership credentials so only those that
produce a return are added to the portfolio Risk assess performance
outcomes so the path ahead is smooth sailing instead of a rough
ride Leverage risk so high performance is a reality instead of a
pipe dream Leverage risk to find the right leadership sponsor
Currently, change is the new normal. As change grows, so does risk.
But how will leaders understand the risk if they don't measure it?
In short, they won't. The reality is that ignorance is never bliss.
What leaders and their organizations don't know will eventually
impact them and their customers. Thus, situational awareness,
forethought, and preparation are now key competencies for leaders
to survive in high-risk environments. In this book, readers will
learn the basics of leadership time management, the disruptability
quotient, the leadership "canary" and why it's just as important to
leaders as it was to coal miners, and the slippery slope of change
management (do we improve, change, or model the current state?),
signals of leadership maturity and false positives, mastering the
art of organizational knowledge, the pearls, and pitfalls of
leadership rebranding, and the risk of non-utilized talent. Why
aren't current leaders required to undergo "storm proofing" from an
operational perspective? As many of us experienced in various
academic programs, the main foci are technical skills in
management, organizational theory, data analysis, and many of the
traditional leadership training courses. But, what happens when a
leadership storm appears such as an unprecedented pandemic or
supply chain crisis, or talent gaps where workers are not available
to complete the basic services humanity relies on daily? Most
leaders were not and are not prepared for today's storms. The
result is reactive leadership, higher-than-expected risk
propositions, and disruptive transformations that force leaders
from their perches to find the next best role their skillsets will
buy. This book is for leaders and professionals who are currently,
or will be leading teams, divisions, and organizations. Its purpose
is to provide practical guidance on how leaders can "stormproof"
their portfolios. Thus, they will be able to survive, thrive in,
and outlast high-risk leadership storms that will overwhelm their
less-prepared peers.
