Book excerpt: "'Don't Wait, Lead Now is a must-read for emerging leaders and anyone in leadership that wants to up their game-- full of practical, real-world examples that highlight the traits and behaviors that create high-performing teams. " Rita Mitjans, ACC President & Founder at BizGuru LLC This book is my attempt to capture some of the most memorable, real-life leadership stories that I've heard, learned from others, read about, or personally experienced and benefited from in my own growth as a man, a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a leader. My intention is to use these stories as a tool for others looking to manage and lead others. Ever since I was a kid, I've used analogies, stories, and anecdotes as a way to help me get my messages across in a more fun and succinct manner. I've learned that people tend to relate to information differently, and by that, I mean more effectively when they have perspective; when the information being shared with them is something they can relate to. As I grew up working countless blue-collar jobs between the ages of twelve and twenty-one, I began to learn how to use this technique as a means to build relationships, establish credibility, and create a personal brand for myself. When I entered the corporate world, I was pleased to find that these skills were easily transferable into the business world. This book is filled with real-world experiences and lessons you can easily apply to your own situation to help you become a more effective leader, whether in business, family, or life in general. "Jim writes from the heart, sharing the personal experiences that have influenced his leadership style and approach. Imparting his most formative career lessons in this narrative style, Don't Wait, Lead Now results in a genuine and intuitive contribution to the topic of leadership excellence." Anthony Horton CEO, Corporate Relocation, LLC "Jim Lord paints a realistic and provocative look at critical aspects needed for a new leader. He raises challenging questions that have long concerned those of us in the field of leadership development. How do new leaders positively influence the lives of employees while balancing the needs of a large company's growth in ways that accurately capture all the complexities and nuances faced on a daily basis? Lord's book is not only a treasured roadmap for new leaders, but a reminder of lessons learned when it comes to creating a runway for the future of an up-and-coming executive. The book doesn't merely describe steps on how to be a strong and impactful leader, and it takes the reader on a tour of duty with a chockful of powerful examples that worked for him over the years. All readers will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book." Doug Hilton, SPHR Chief People Officer, Gaudenzia, Inc.
