The Uncommon Leadership Series
Book #1:
Uncommon Care: How to Influence by Giving a CRAP
We all know the saying: “I don’t care how much you know until I know how much you care.” When it comes to leadership, this is 100% true. Without care, people will do what you tell them—but this action is based on responsibility or fear and the moment your back is turned, they will do whatever they want to do.
If you don’t lead with care, you’ll get three things from your people: mediocre results, momentary change, and minimal effort. My guess is that you’d prefer to have more.
By starting with the heart, you open the door to trust which allows people to follow you because they want to, not because they have to. This book will teach you not only how to care, but how to do it in such a way that you stand out, that you become seen as a leader who shows uncommon care always.
Move beyond the regular role of a leader and start giving a CRAP about your employees.
- Grow your care for others
- Become intentional in showing your care
- Increase trust
- Regularly give a CRAP (Celebration, Recognition, Appreciation, Praise)
Book #2:
Uncommon Connection: Creating Real Influence Through Personal Connections
Most people get into leadership when they are given a leadership title. With a title, some may think that they have all they need to lead. This is a terrible mistake. Just because you have a title, it doesn’t mean that you are leader. No.
Leaders often start with a title, but for them to effectively lead they must also gain the permission to lead from their team. If you want to get the permission to lead from your team, the shortest distance to do so is to connect on a personal level with each team member.
This means finding out what your team member dreams about, sings about, and cries about. It means asking smart questions that cause people to think and then listening intently to their responses. It means being curious, spending time with your people, and even having a little fun with them. You see, most people communicate but few actually connect.
Become an uncommon leader by making an uncommon connection.
- Ask smart questions
- Increase your ability to listen
- Improve communication
- Gain permission to lead

The Other Side: Five Rules for Leading With Influence
Imagine a line.
On one side of that line are most people. These are the technicians, or doers, of our society. Occasionally, one of these doers has the COURAGE to cross the line. They move from a place of comfort to a place of discomfort, from having rights to taking on more responsibility, from personal results to getting results through the work and efforts of others. We call these people LEADERS and this book is written to help those on The Other Side find exceptional results through the Five Rules of Leading with Influence.
