Description
Employees that don't take ownership of their work. Friction between departments. Inconsistent results. These are the top challenges that face most businesses today. These common issues create high turnover and force managers into crisis mode where they're consumed putting out daily fires. Over time, the very nature of the business changes and a new culture emerges; one shaped by the lowest level of acceptable behavior.
Beyond the Hammer approaches these concerns in two highly engaging sections: First, a fictional story of George, a business owner struggling with burnt out employees, high turnover, and frustrated customers. Readers follow George as he discovers five foundational pillars of leadership that have the power to build teams that perform at a high level, consistently.
The second section shifts from storytelling to strategy, providing an actionable path to weaving these 5 pillars into any business, enabling leaders to integrate these principles into their daily operations seamlessly.
Written for managers and leaders alike, Beyond the Hammer offers a simple yet powerful approach to creating a team where everyone is aligned, and properly positioned to win.

“Beyond the Hammer” is a captivating book that brings the five key pillars of leadership to life through a fictional story. These pillars aren’t just business buzzwords—they’re essential for succeeding in today’s world. My favorite is Pillar #2: "Leaders shape culture through purpose and direction," a mindset that really resonates. The book provides a clear and practical approach to getting your team on track and building a strong, resilient culture. It’s not just about ticking off tasks; it’s about integrating these principles into your daily routine.
Another great addition to any leadership toolkit—definitely adding this one to mine!
