The Ultimate Guide to Being a Fast, Fluid, and Flexible Leader
"The leadership model that Eric Snow represents is vital “ not only to sports leadership, but to family leadership and to teaching in schools; it's key to managing a sales or manufacturing force, and it's one of the magic ingredients that has been necessary throughout world history to affect social change and create social victories."
How would you like to be the one to tell NBA legend LeBron James to step up his game, or try and school fellow All-Star Allen Iverson on the finer points of his free throw? How is that for a leadership experience?
Whether you're the rookie player on the team, just got promoted to middle management or you're the new guy in the boardroom, leading high performers is no easy feat.
Just ask Eric Snow, who throughout his 14-year NBA career played a leadership role for his team. Eric has a unique understanding of leadership from the blisteringly-paced world of professional sports as well as his post-retirement "trial by fire" initiation into the world of instant entrepreneur, investor, leadership speaker, and businessman.
Basketball demands a level of leadership that can consistently create teams with both personal responsibility and the autonomy to make split-second decisions in incredibly high-stakes situations. And in his new book Leading High Performers: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Fast, Fluid and Flexible Leader, Snow reveals the keys to leading and developing all-stars in any situation.
In LEADING HIGH PERFORMERS, Snow translates his experience on the court into a formula to help corporate and organizational leaders understand how to get their high performers, MVP's, and top new recruits to perform better and follow their leadership.
Snow has now developed a leadership institute called The Institute for Fast, Fluid, and Flexible Leaders which includes:
- Creating High-Performing Teams
- 4 Steps to Fast Leadership
- 6 Steps to Fluid Leadership
- 5 Steps to Flexible Leadership
- Playing All Leadership Positions
- Identifying Your Role Players
Snow understands what it is like to be the new guy on the team, thrust into leadership the first day on the job and charged with leading complex, fast moving, and fluid environments. It's not as simple as pointing in the right direction and expecting everyone to follow with a high-five and no ulterior motives.
Since the release of the book Snow has already been secured for a number of high profile engagements as a leadership speaker.
