From the acclaimed, best-selling authors of The Go-Giver, a new parable about the power of giving leadership.

The family-owned business of Allen & Augustine has manufactured high-quality chairs for decades. Its people take pride in their work and feel loyal to their owners and management team. But this long-revered company is now at a crossroads, hurt by a tough economy, foreign competition, and a cash crunch. The air is filled with the scent of uncertainty, anxiety, perhaps even panic.

Enter Ben, the ambitious young executive assigned by his firm to promote a merger that will rescue Allen & Augustine. Ben's facts are undeniable: The chairmaker can either merge and modernize or go bankrupt and vanish. So why can't he convince anyone to buy in, from the CEO on down?

During his week at the company, as Ben gets to know its people and meets with its top executives, he begins to realize that his aggressive style is actually making it harder to reach his goals. As one character puts it, "How far can you push a rope?"

Will Ben find a way to sway the employee shareholders before the climactic vote? And can Allen & Augustine survive without losing its soul? The answers may surprise you as you follow Ben on his journey to understanding that the path to genuine influence lies less in taking leadership than in giving it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"We should all seek to practice the message illustrated so elegantly in The Go-Giver Leader - that great leaders don’t try to act like ‘leaders,’ they strive to be more human.” (Simon Sinek, optimist and author of Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last)

“This book captures the essence of life and leadership. I recommend it!” (John C. Maxwell, author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership)

“A fast read that reinforces leadership fundamentals ... truly applicable to any manager, anywhere.” (Booklist)

Great book

A great job highlighting keys on ways to help others. I didn’t doing so take yourself to the Heights.

A MUST READ!

This book has changed my life. It goes beyond a simple self improvement to opening windows to a powerful new trajectory in fresh thinking and being!

Very enlightening and thought-provoking!

I loved it! Aunt "El" was my favorite character. You do not need lots of words to make an impact...just the right ones! "Do the work", pull instead of push and ALWAYS GIVE instead of take...in any type of relationship...you will then, ALWAYS BE A RECEIVER!!

Stories of leadership and parables of leadership principles

Easy read
Great to listen to and one that you will read multiple times and still get something new each time. Timeless leadership principles conveyed via parables!

Still My Favorite

This was my favorite in the Go-Giver series in its earlier incarnation and certainly still is in the new version

Love this book!

I enjoyed this book so much.. a great story that brings home the shift from a taking (charge, control) to a giving mentalilty and how this is key to really effective leadership.

Thinking about others first

I love the concept. Our teams are the most important piece of our business. With a happy team and a specific long range vision we can be super successful together.

Simple to read with hard hitting virtues

This is a good read filling the original. Wish it had been expanded a bit longer. Regardless, it has some great nuggets that can be applied at work, in any team or with your kids.

Simple concept but very powerful

I really enjoyed this book, it was narrated very well. Simple concept but very powerful.

fantastic!

Could not stop listening! Where do I get those chairs? I have sent both GoGivers to my sales teams of Go GETTERs...
