Leading Giants: A Leader's Guide to Maximum Influence - Hardcover

by Dave Durand (Author)

No matter your position or industry, Leading Giants offers proven strategies that will rapidly expand your influence to get you the results you want.

It is clear that leaders carry a unique burden. They are guardians, protectors, providers, judges, helpers, servants, counselors, and friends--and only a Giant can be all those at one time. Leaders live and die with the actual results they create, and those results are created with and through the people they lead.

Dave Durand spent 35 years founding, leading, and selling companies with more than a billion dollars in combined sales. Having led hundreds of thousands of people, he distills leadership influence in usable terms. Leading Giants illuminates the Four Superpowers of a Leader, how to rapidly expand your influence, and that in order to succeed, strangely, you have to "think like a criminal."

In addition to building greatness in yourself, your team, and your organization, Leading Giants will help you:

Become a Giant--someone who has unlocked their maximum potential in business and in life Inspire great results in those around you--creating profit and long-term wealth for your business Attract and retain incredible talent (other Giants)--keeping all the best players on your team WIN against your competitors

By learning to serve as a firm but compassionate leader in the face of challenges, you will do the right things, the right way, and reap the benefits. Because life and business are full of good people engaging in destructive behavior, influencing people away from vice and into virtue is the key to peace, prosperity, and profits.

Filled with personal stories from Durand's decades of founding, leading, scaling, and selling businesses, plus actionable lessons readers can use to increase the impact of their leadership, Leading Giants offers a fresh and empowering perspective, helping readers set their sights on true success and providing them a practical guide for the journey.

If you want success, extraordinary results, and a winning culture, Leading Giants will show you how.
