Beschrijving The Respectful Leader

A compelling, true-to-life business story about how respect can turn everything around.


Her tools packed away, Grace stood up, turned back to Des, and looked at him intently.


"But, what bothers me most, Mr. Hogan," she continued, "is that before we got bought out and you became CEO, no one ever, and I mean ever, raised their voices in anger or cursed at each other."


Des didn't have the patience to consider the value of her walk down memory lane. "Well, that's just great, Grace," he said with a hint of sarcasm. "I'm happy for you. But, you don't seem to get it; this company is in real trouble; I've got to turn it around fast. I don't have time for warm and fuzzies and singing Kumbaya."


"OK, Mr. Hogan, I get it."


"Good," Des replied with finality and started to turn away.


But Grace wasn't done. "So, Mr. Hogan, one question."


Des stopped with an annoyed sigh and turned back to her. "What's that?" he snapped.


"How's that 'tough guy' strategy working for you?"


In The Respectful Leader, Gregg Ward acclaimed leadership consultant, speaker, and executive coach introduces Des Hogan, a brand-new CEO who discovers that disrespectful behavior on the part of his leadership team is quickly eating away at his company's morale, sales, and profits. In the middle of a meltdown, Des is confronted by Grace a straight-shooting, self-described "little old lady" in the maintenance department who refuses to tolerate disrespect. Backed into a corner, Des decides to take her no-nonsense advice, and sets out to revamp the culture and turn his company around. This enlightening, engaging and honest story, based on the author's 25+ years of experience serving some of the world's top companies, will help you recognize the power of respect and show you how to create a winning culture based on Respectful Leadership.
