Synopsis

In their effort to succeed, today's leaders will reinvent anything--anything but themselves, and this is why so many attempts to revolutionize business fail. Tracy Goss runs a course for executives so that they can reinvent themselves for the next "mission impossible," and Goss has run this highly successful course for the last fifteen years.

Do you want to do work that is worthy of your time and talent? Do you want to make your mark on your industry, company, or within your community? Are you satisfied with the fact that reengineering, quality improvements, and other changes never really make a lasting impact? Then you need to go beyond the techniques of improvement and learn the skills that it takes to be extraordinary. The power to be extraordinary is not one we are born with. Rather, it is a power that one can learn, and Tracy Goss helps executives realize this power. Here in this book for the first time, Goss makes her coursework available to the general reader.

Goss's unique methodology shows how you how "you can put at risk the success you have achieved for the 'possibility' you can be." She positions executives to take on the future that they dream about. She teaches how to behave differently so that you are free of past constraints. She shows how you can be at home in the environment in which you are constantly surrounded by threats, and how to transcend the ordinary to make the impossible happen. Her work has resulted in many important life changes and organizational reinventions worldwide.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A big-stakes game called Executive Re-Invention lies at the heart of this book. The Re-Invention methodology is the work of consultant, lecturer, and writer Tracy Goss. For the last ten years, she has conducted an exclusive two-week intensive program for top executives and the key leaders throughout their organizations. So revolutionary is this course that it changes the lives and organizations of the people who have gone through it. Leaders have spread its fame by word of mouth, promising that "you just have to experience its power for yourself". Now, in The Last Word on Power, everyone can experience the power of Executive Re-Invention. Executive Re-Invention is the product of the author's experience that "you can not successfully re-invent an organization without first re-inventing the leaders". It begins with revealing your individual "winning strategy", which, unknown to you, is the source of your success, and at the same time the source of your limitations. Through a series of seven transformations in the arena of leadership, Goss shows how you can "re-invent" yourself by freeing yourself from the past, and acquiring the power to turn the impossible into possible, and the possible into reality. For any executive or manager engaged in reengineering, building a learning organization, or re-inventing their industry, the ability to accomplish this is essential.
