The Captain's Keys: The Four People Every Successful Leader Needs
Executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders at every level report feeling lonely and isolated in their roles. Often they feel that success or failure rests squarely on their shoulders. Going alone can be downright dangerous. Even the most astute leaders can’t be expected to know everything. We all have blind spots.
Using the analogy of a ship, Jeff establishes a leader as the Captain and unpacks a model called “The Stability Matrix”. This model highlights the four key people that successful Captains need to keep their business and life on course. Finding their Four leaders become solidly grounded, stable, and able to weather the inevitable storms of life. Leaders become unsinkable! Based on Jeff’s upcoming 2023 book The Captain’s Keys: The Four Key People Every Successful Leader Needs.
