Publisher's summary

Imagine a world where personal and professional growth are combined, where improving your relationships and owning your strengths at work translate directly into the rest of your life.

Creating a company culture like that is not a dream. Through personal stories and real-life conversations, Jonathan Raymond takes you into the room with managers and employees where real culture change happens and shows you a new kind of employee mentoring where each person gets the real-time feedback, support, and clear boundaries we all need to get beyond the patterns that hold us back.

In this provocative and timely new book, Jonathan brings together what he has learned over a 20-year journey as an executive, an entrepreneur, a team leader, and a leadership trainer. Combining his experience as the CEO and CBO of EMyth, where he led the transformation of a global coaching brand with the lessons learned along his own personal growth journey, Jonathan walks us through a step-by-step approach that integrates the leading edges of both. You'll discover a way to lead your team that is both profoundly human and results-oriented at the same time.

Whether you're a CEO or business owner, an executive, a team leader, a consultant, or a coach, Good Authority will give you new ideas and inspiration you can put into practice. Most importantly, it will give you permission to be more of who you are at work than you ever thought possible.

great read

Loved it! Made me think outside of the box. Very helpful, thank you so much!

So good!

So good! Really enjoyed this book! I can totally see reversing some of these concepts to self manage.

Absolutely worth it!!

It’s engaging. Raw. Relatable and worth listening to over and over again. Loved it so much I ordered a hard copy to highlight in.

Life changing.

Wow. The ideas brought forward in this book has opened my eyes. The author and speaker has a calming voice and has a brilliant way to convey ideas. I hope I can use this knowledge to improve and be the manager my team needs.

Great resource fir management in all fields

This book is extremely helpful if you are needing guidance in a new managerial position, you aren’t getting enough support from your current leadership, or if you just want to be a better leader.

It helps you understand authority in a greater sense and it helps you see where you might be making mistakes but also where you are making the right choices. I have recommended this to a couple of our new managers that have been hired on if they want to have skills outside of just what they learn in school or what our current leadership is teaching.

Great Book!

Good Authority really highlights and provides practical solutions for some of the critical issues in the workplace today. This book is great not for just leadership roles, but for any role in your life. I highly recommend!

great book

This book brought to life concepts that help me relate to people I work with.

Less superman more yoda!

The book gave my an opportunity to reframe my approach of how I perceive I bring value. It also helped me think about how I've approached the team, which might just be the cause of my own overwhelm. Quick read with interesting stories and examples. I would recommend it. I enjoyed it and look forward to putting some ideas into practice.

Great book!

Listened to this in one day. It was very addictive and relevant and makes it more relatable to help mangers get comfortable with accountability.
