Opis

This is a distillation of David Taylor's ideas and inspiration - ideas which have made him Europe's most sought-after speaker on leadership and personal growth. David Taylor's key messages include: success is not a secret no-one knows; what is going to happen next - you can have whatever future you dream, desire and deserve; if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got; if you have ever done something to the best of your abilities just once, you can do this anytime that you wish; people will only ever do something to the best of their ability for one reason, and for one alone, and that is if they want to; forget external motivation, your achievements will come from internal inspiration; the biggest discovery of life, is to discover who you really are; everything you need to be anything you want, you already have; there is no right or wrong, there is only what serves you, and what does not; what you think about, you are, what you focus on, you will be-come; and give yourself permission to soar, and be all that you already are.

Fasten your seat belt, it′s all you need to wear.

There is a new wave of thinking and action that puts people before process, choice before change, and meaning before money. We are now entering a new business, leadership and global age, with a vision, agenda and spirit born out of the realisation that there has to be a different way of success, business and leadership. One that sets us free from traditional business thinking, and takes you, your business and your life to new levels of awareness, success and achievement.

This next business age is in your hands. The Naked Leader is the antithesis to the process driven mentality that has wasted so many millions, destroyed the trust between company and employee, and enabled so many companies to at best stand completely still.

The Naked Leader is a distillation of David Taylor′s ideas and inspiration – ideas which have made him Europe′s most sought–after speaker on leadership and personal growth. David is known as the "Naked Leader" because of his extraordinary ability to strip away uncertainty and doubt, and conclusively show that everything we need to be successful, we already have.

The Naked Leader shares hundreds of life–changing actions, including:

• The fastest way to make any change in your life
• How to build deep and lasting rapport with anyone
• The 7 most powerful questions on earth
• How to change how you feel, in a single heartbeat
• The structure of guaranteed success
• How to be an awesome presenter
• Discovering who you really are, and why you are here

The Naked Leader strips away the mystery, hype and jargon, to reveal the single formula for assured success that is available to everyone. The book is a journey which can be taken from beginning to end, or joined at any stage – taking you to wherever you want to be, drawing on the very best leadership thinking around the world, finally revealing the answer to the ultimate question, "who are you and why are you here?"

Taylor reveals the exact, specific actions to take to predict the future, and then shape it. As a practitioner, not a theorist, Taylor knows what works, and what does not. He shows us what to do, and exactly when to do it.

No matter what your vision, challenge or present position, The Naked Leader ensures that you succeed, making your future no longer a matter of chance, but rather a matter of choice.

It is powerful, and the results are amazing.
