The 100X Leader: How to Become Someone Worth Following

This books is a rarity: a practical guide for transforming your leadership and impacting those you lead (yourself, your family, your team, your organization, and the community). The diagrams make each principle practical and easy to explain to others. In teaching the tools to others, the learning becomes ingrained and easier to practice on a daily basis.My favorite tools are as follows:- Support-Challenge Matrix: what does it look to be on the other side of your leadership? My team felt I was liberating them, but my wife felt I was abdicating with family (I had "left it on the field" at work).- 5 Circles of Influence: the Support-Challenge Matrix really has power when you apply to each circle of influence. As noted above, my Team got the best I have to offer but family was missing my leadership. It takes effort to be intentional in each circle, but the payoff is worth it.- Know Yourself to Leader Yourself: how do your tendencies undermine your influence? Instead of trying to change your underlying tendencies, it's more effective to mitigate your negative tendencies by changing your patterns (response to your tendencies) so that your actions produce positive results. If you aren't intentional, your negative tendencies will manifest in negative patterns and negative actions leading to negative results.And then there is the Apprenticeship Square. The "Pit of Despair" is truly mind-blowing when you think through the number of times you've failed to adequately train/apprentice a new team member.This book will change your leadership and make you more effective than you've ever been. Be intentional. Buy this book, begin applying the principles in the first chapter, and refer to it often. Leadership is messy, but the effort is worth it.

The 100x leader uses the analogy of the Sherpa guiding climbers to the top of mount everest. Humble and in it for the glory of others, the Sherpa helps the climber achieve their goals by knowing what kind of challenge and support is necessary for each level of the journey. I love the idea that as leaders, we have to climb first but then it is our duty to help others climb. If we keep the star climber mentality, it is hard to be the kind of leader that others want to follow. Conversely, if we are a leader who fights for the highest good of those we lead, we are a truly unique and worthy leader. In a world of power-centric leaders, this kind of rare leadership is a breath of rare air. I recommend this book for any person who wants to be a healthier and more whole leader.

Years ago, my husband went to a GiANT consulting event Jeremie and Steve were hosting for Executives in Atlanta, GA. When he came back, something had snapped. He kept talking about wanting to "Liberate" me and our three children. The reality at that time, was that he would tend to "Dominate" our oldest son and he would "Abdicate" with me when he got home from long days trying to "save the world". I have the 100X Leader concept to thank for getting my husband's head in the game. Now, he works to be intentional in his leadership of our family every day. I have also never seen him exhibit more peace as he still fights to save the world, but he is self-aware enough to know where his lane is. Thank you, 100X and GiANT!

As a healthcare CEO, time is limited; yet finding time to make yourself a better leader is a must. This came on Friday, and I read it cover to cover Saturday. First 2 chapters are OK at best, then the content becomes outstanding. Some felt this is the authors‘ selling their service, and at some points I could see that. However, it’s packed full of immediately useful material and the matrix is something I will implement tomorrow (Monday). If you are contemplating buying this book, stop contemplating...truly one that is worthy of a purchase and an immediate read. I finished the book and then went straight back to amazon to buy their ‘5 gears’ book.

The100X Leader is a great playbook for people to become healthy leaders and multiply that health to those they lead.

I learned about the 5 Circles of Influence a few years back, and it's one of the tools covered in this amazing book. The idea is that if we want to be significant, memorable and consistent in our spheres of influence, we have to be intentional, starting with self. Accidental living produces accidental results. Jereme and Steve's concepts have helped me change how I see myself and how I prioritize and interact with the most important people in my world. The tools these leaders have developed from their own learning have radically changed the trajectory of my life. Everyone needs to read this book!

Started and finished The 100X Leader in one day. It doesn't matter where you are on the leadership journey this book will challenge, equip and inspire you to greater levels of personal development and transformational influence. Be prepared for things to get personal but also look forward to gaining a greater mastery of leadership that is accessible, usable and shareable from the time you learn it. Great job Jeremie and Steve!

No matter your role or title, we are all leading and influencing people. This book doesn't just inspire you to be a better leader, it gives you practical application on HOW to get better. The concepts can be put to use immediately, whether for personal application or within a team or family context. This will be a book to reference consistently throughout life's journey of getting better and helping others do the same.

This is an amazing book. It changed my way of looking at life.

This latest offering from GiANT founders Steve and Jeremy does not disappoint. A firm encouragement to not just be a leader worth following but to see those you lead develop to their fullest potential by intentionally fighting for their highest possible good.This book is a challenging read which will cut to the core of who you are as a leader, help you to become the healthiest you can be and then give you the tools to multiply your abilities, knowledge and skills into those you lead.What I love about this book, and all of the other GiANT offerings is that no matter where you lead, in the home to the board room their tools just work, they transfer effortlessly between contexts and are truly transformative.

Great book given insight on how to lead others
