The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

Running a business should be exciting and rewarding, not a burden. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs fall into the daily grind of stamping out fires and doing everything themselves because they’ve unknowingly become their own best employee and the bottleneck of their business. Do questions, decisions, and problems always funnel their way back to you? Has your business become a revolving door for employees or the permanent residence for under-performers? Are you tired of burning the candle at both ends and not living life on your terms?

Here's a mystery. We have a common language and a common process for every single department in the organization...except sales. Everyone in accounting talks the same language. In marketing, there's a very analytical process by which team members agree to measure the results. Yet sales, for some reason, typically doesn't have a consistent process that managers and employees can understand and agree to follow. In fact on most sales teams, salespeople tend to resist any attempt to establish a consistent process...and managers tend to let them! Why?
