From the boardroom to the break room, every organization needs effective leaders.  But everywhere we look, we see problems – from poor performance to high profile scandals – that show how challenged leaders are today.  Witnessing these downfalls, we are tempted to loose faith in the value of leadership itself.

The Enemies of Excellence offers a bold solution to this crisis.  Drawing from his experience in coaching corporate and not-for-profit leaders, Coach Greg offers real-life stories and observations that reveal the patterns of sabotage affecting all leaders.  He paints a vivid picture of how the 7 Enemies of Excellence build on one another, from seemingly everyday weaknesses to the ones that destroy organizations and even nations.

Coach Greg then offers you tested and practical questions, tools and exercises you can use immediately to break through these barriers and achieve the success you so urgently need – for your own life and the lives of all who rely on you to succeed.

Reading this book you will:

• Gain an insider’s view of the risk of leadership.
• Discover the damage the Enemies are creating in our culture and our everyday lives.
• Learn how the Enemies can be conquered, one Enemy at a time.
• Put into action daily and weekly practices to enhance your own capacity for excellence.
