Editorial Reviews

“Stew’s “how to leadership book brilliantly outlines a path to become a leader. A simple “easy-to- get-into A-Z format guides your journey. Challenge yourself to improve your leadership skills. Well worth reading and artfully structured. Stew’s primer is a prospective leader’s guide to success.”

Patricia McMorrow

Communications Director

“The book has many useful suggestions for leadership. The information and questions have encouraged me to apply some of the lessons in my daily life and with my church group. My sons, 18 and 16, have enjoyed reading the book as well. If they focus on behaving as leaders, they will become better men.”

Lenin Rincone

Entrepreneur

“Stew has done double-duty with this book on leadership. Breaking down the many characteristics of leadership alphabetically, while in the same space, clarify how a leader like Trump uses them to become successful in both real estate and politics.”

Kevin Dougherty

CEO and business owner

“The author is a very successful coach and mentor. Using his years of experience, developing future leaders and mentoring executives in organizations large and small, he has captured in this book the proven skills needed for success for today’s leaders. "

Description

Each of the descriptive 26 “lessons” enable you to prepare yourself for success by responding to an uncomplicated system that will enhance your ability to lead? As a man who has led teams, facilitated seminars for executives, consulted with leaders, and taught college-level students, I’d stake my reputation on it.
 
A reasonable person may ask, “Why do you use Donald Trump as the consistent example?” Here’s why; an effective learning model requires the transfer of information the readers recognize.  “We use Donald Trump as a practitioner of leadership behavior, because he is recognized by everyone in the world who is linked into modern tools of communication. 
 
Before politics, he became a leader in the tough and challenging fields of Real Estate and TV. As a politician, he’s earned the votes and allegiance of over 70,000,000 American citizens while increasing his voting totals each time he’s run for office.  That means more people are supporters; that’s what leaders do, they gain followers.
 
Even if you find Trump personally distasteful, you’ll benefit from this book. Military officers study the previous actions and tendencies of their opposing generals. Coaches of sports teams learn from competitors in their profession and decipher video examples of their upcoming opponent.
 
As I specify in the book, “I come neither to falsely praise Donald Trump nor to bury him.” If you’re a fan of “The Trumpster”, he’s a positive role model. If you’re a critic, consider him as a descriptive prop.
 
With sincerity and confidence,

Why Read Leadership Lessons and You: From A-Z?

The goal is simple:

Learn a leadership lesson. Reflect on it. Consider how it applies to your life. Put the idea into practice.

Stew Bolno draws on his experience leading teams, facilitating seminars for executives, consulting with leaders, coaching and mentoring, and teaching college-level students. The result is a concise leadership resource designed to encourage practical thinking rather than simply presenting abstract concepts.
