Pursuit of Excellence

There’s nothing wrong with being a follower. In fact, a leader wouldn’t be a leader if they didn’t have anyone following them.Successful organizations have a unique combination of leaders and followers, and the ability to recognize when people need to get on board or get out of the way. Too many people get promoted to leadership positions simply because they were great in their previous roles, without considering if they had the skills necessary to excel in their new role. Not everyone wants to be a leader, but we all have the potential for leadership within us. By understanding the processes within your organization, practicing soft skills, and recognizing how to climb and work within the management hierarchy, you can move yourself and any employee in your organization from a frontline worker to a world-class leader.In Marc’s forty-six-plus years of management and leadership experience, he has had the opportunity to learn from some of the top business leaders about how to excel through the ranks while never forgetting what it took to get there. He shares his personal experiences as a leader-both successes and lessons learned the hard way-to help guide his readers and consult clients on the path to excellence. His unique insights are designed to help aspiring leaders navigate the ups and downs of business while managing their teams and embodying the vision of their organization. As a follow-up to his first book Preparing for Greatness, Marc lays out the step-by-step formula for turning greatness as a person into greatness as a leader.
