Do you aspire for more than what society had intended for you?
Do you want to be a better leader?
Do you need a role model?
We often read books about the principles of leadership, about leaders who don’t look like us or have not been through our life experiences. Most leadership books are written after the fact, when the subject has retired or has reached the pinnacle of their career.
What if we could read a book about leadership in action to see the tools, techniques, mindsets and strategies leaders are using on their journey to the summit of their careers?
Nine Leaders in Action does just that. We profile a range of leaders from around the world, who have already achieved great success, yet remain on the path to even greater heights. Nine people who overcame adversity to achieve notable successes and have far bigger goals in mind.
Read how they do it. Role model their best practices. Don't give up and don't lower your ambitions. The world needs your leadership.

You'll find nothing but real-world, 100% action-oriented leadership advice from those who have played the game globally at the most demanding levels. I took away a lot of valuable leadership lessons from all 9 of the authors. Lots of highly specific leadership tools, mindsets and advice that helped change the way I view leadership, and how I act as a leader in my firm.

Second, each chapter is written by a leader "in the trenches," whereas most leadership books are written by people who have been highly successful, have since retired, and are piecing together a roadmap from their recollections from a 9,000-foot vantage point. That's useful and powerful, but there's something special about obtaining knowledge and actual experiences from leaders on the ground who are implementing their career goals in real time—those who are currently on the leadership path and succeeding.
Kris Safarova's book, Nine Leaders in Action: Proven Strategies for Effective Leadership and Results, is a must-read for both aspiring and seasoned managers alike. Recommended.

The most interesting thing about this book is that it has many authors, so it is very interesting to see the perspective of each one and how each one faces their problems/difficulties.
As the preface says, this is really a different book from all leadership books readers have seen before, and that’s the main reason why I am recommending it.
