Get UnstuckIn 1984, Doug Conant was fired without warning and with barely an explanation. He felt hopeless and stuck but, surprisingly, this defeating turn of events turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. Doug began to consider what might be holding him back from realizing his potential, fulfilling his dreams, and making a bigger impact on the world around him.Embarking on a journey of self-reflection and discovery, he forged a path to revolutionize his leadership and transform his career trajectory. Ultimately, Doug was able to condense his remarkable leadership story into six practical steps. It wasn't until Doug worked through these six steps that he was able to lift his leadership to heights that ultimately brought him career success, joy, and fulfillment.Reach High - EnvisionDig Deep - ReflectLay the Groundwork - StudyDesign - PlanBuild - PracticeReinforce - Improve In The Blueprint, part leadership manifesto, part practical manual, Doug teaches leaders how to work through the same six steps that he used to transform his journey.

    • Truly a "Blueprint" For Yiur Leadership Journey
With so many books available of the topic of leadership, this book is unique in that it provides a blueprint or guidelines to help you navigate to a more helpful and rewarding life of leadership. Great book for those just beginning their leadership journey, but just as valuable to more "seasoned" leaders. It reminds us of what we stopped doing and should be doing again to improve on our ability to make a difference in our world. ... show more

Paraphrasing pg12, this leadership book is about: Your Foundation (Leadership Purpose, Beliefs, Model, Treasury, Improvement Plan) is what you will be creating. The Blueprint (a 6 step process: Envision “Reach High”, Reflect “Dig Deep”, Study “Lay the Groundwork”, Plan “Design”, Practice “Build”, Improve “Reinforce”) is how you will build the foundation. If you feel for the above, this well organized and written book will satisfy you well with its great narratives, questions and templates. p.s. Below please find some favorite passages of mine fyi. Dr. Robert Maurer’s approach to change: You start microscopically small. It works because it outsmarts the brain’s fear response, the innate tendency to avoid things that seem too overwhelming or hard, things that might result in failure, danger or misery. Pg6 The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. – Picasso I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. – Albert Einstein Pursuit Mindset:- 1. Get clear on what’s important 2. Find the nearest path forward 3. Shift into action 4. Don’t take no for an answer 5. Up the ante pg103 The 3 Qs of Competence: IQ, EQ, FQ Functional Intelligence. The ability to cultivate sufficient expertise and skill in their field or sector. Pg172 Time Zone Checklist. Past: Have I taken a clear eyed look at the past and does this course of action reflect what I’ve learned? Present: Am I thinking clearly in the present and does this course of action honor the expectations of today? Future: Am I compromising the future and, if not, does this course of action pave the way for continued prosperity and success?

    • The Blueprint is exactly that for leaders and all the people who work with them
Doug Conant has written a book borne of hard-earned first-hand experience. Over 40 years of it. For that reason alone, I am listening hard. I read the book and then listened to his public and free virtual Town Halls. "Tough minded on standards and tender-hearted with people" is his mantra and it is a winning strategy. I appreciate the no-nonsense, logical presentation of the steps to take to be a strong and effective leader in whatever position you hold. Spoiler Alert: The catch is there are no shortcuts, no magic bullet. Just determined hard work to be better tomorrow. ... show more
