Bad leadership destroys organizations.
How long before bad leadership destroys yours?
If you are a leader or develop leadership programs, does any of this seem familiar?
* I can’t tell if my leadership style is effective.
* I do everything right, but I’m still not getting ahead.
* The last time I saw my boss was during my evaluation 3 months ago.
* My boss is a jerk, but senior management doesn’t care. They think he is just ambitious.
* We have a high turnover of employees.
* If any of the senior staff left tomorrow, the company would collapse.
If you said yes to any one of those, this book is for you.
If you have had these problems, it isn’t your fault. You may be a victim of one of the common traps of leadership that are ruining your career and maybe your business.
“6 Rabbit Holes of Leadership” explores time-wasting rabbit holes and how they harm your organization, but also gives advice on better ways to lead.

Here’s what early readers had to say:
One of the challenges of the IT and telecommunications industry is that the service level expectation is near perfection. This high level of service creates a lot of pressure on everyone, from leadership, to mid-management to operations. Good leadership is key to motivating people when the stakes are so high and when business environment is continuously changing, otherwise business continuity and employee turnover become risks. I wish I had access to this book and EndGame leadership concepts years ago, as it has taken me more than 15 years to learn the hard way. I believe I would have become an effective leader sooner with the insights and philosophy I have learned. I enjoyed it immensely.

One of the problems of being an entrepreneur and small business owner is that everything you do, you accomplish alone. Leadership questions are hard to articulate and you hope you don't make any fatal mistakes. The information and reasoning from this book and the idea of starting at the end really helped me to see what I did right and when I went wrong. After growing to five stores, I know I have done pretty well, but it is a relief to have the confirmation from the EndGame philosophies. I worry less about my leadership style and focus on a good corporate culture for my employees.

I have been in the aerospace industry for 15 years. Before reading Ken’s book I spent a lot of time putting a lot of pressure on myself to be a good leader. It was exhausting. I often received feedback that I was being too hard on myself and to try to relax.
From the book and the EndGame Leadership way of looking at leadership, I learned that there was no recipe to be a good leader. You just have to be yourself and focus on business. The simplest things are often the best and the most effective.
Thanks to this new mindset, I saw a clear change in my environment and in my job. But is wasn’t just me, other people were really opened up and became willing to work with me.
I feel more like a real leader every day.
