Stepping Up is our newest release from author John Murphy. Stepping Up will teach you the 10 steps for advancing your career now. It’s the only book of its’ kind in the Simple Truths library and I promise you will come away with solid steps on how to move ahead in your career goals after reading John’s book.

What Are You Doing with Your 24 Hours Today?

How often do you hear people use time as an excuse to not get something done? I hear it quite frequently. In fact, it is one of the most common excuses (inputs) that limit successful outputs. If we don’t take time for what really matters, we cannot possibly expect an improvement in results. As Albert Einstein once noted, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The real key then is not the amount of time we have. We all have 24 hours in a day. It is how we prioritize our activities and use the time we have.

The reality is it’s time to Step Up or step aside.

So many times I’ve said, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it that turns the switch from“off” to “on.” John’s writing style is clear, concise and engaging. He asks questions to make you think and makes his point in a way that makes the reader say, “Wow. I never thought of it quite that way!”

If you’re totally pleased with the success you’ve had in your career and in life, you can stop reading now. If, however, you’d like to “step up” and tap into your true potential, John’s latest book, Stepping Up…10 Takeaways for Advancing Your Career, is for you.

“Leadership is not something you do to people. It’s something you do with people.”
~Ken Blanchard , Patricia Zigarmi, and Drea Zigarmi

The very best leaders are learners – people who are always interested in ways to enhance their own knowledge and skills. So, whether you are a new leader or have been in your leadership role for 30 years, you will benefit from this book on leadership from the best person I know to teach these valuable leadership lessons from the heart- Ken Blanchard.

Ken Blanchard calls himself, “chief spiritual officer” of his consulting company. That right there says a lot about Ken’s leadership style. I could have searched the world over, and not found a better person to write a book titled The Heart of a Leader.

Ken believes leadership should not be done purely for personal gain or goal accomplishment; it should fulfill a much higher purpose. Nothing is wrong with accomplishing goals, but when you focus solely on results, you miss the big picture. As a result, things like morale and job satisfaction will tend to fall by the wayside.

Leading at a higher level is the process of achieving worthwhile results while acting with respect, care, and fairness for the well-being of all invlolved. It’s only when you realize it’s not all about you that you begin to lead at a higher level. -an excerpt from The Heart of a Leader.

This book makes a great gift for new managers and seasoned managers to set the tone for how you envision the leaders of your company.
