Leadership Is Worthless...But Leading Is Priceless: What I Learned from 9/11, the NFL, and Ukraine - Hardcover
Synopsis
Practical leadership for difficult times, from a crisis management expert who has led response teams through the 9/11 Pentagon attack, NFL on-field medical emergencies, and the war in Ukraine. <p/>Dr. Thom Mayer knows first-hand that true leadership stems from our actions, not our positions, especially in times of crisis. <p/>Drawing on his experiences heading the 9/11 Pentagon rescue efforts, dealing with on-field emergencies in the NFL (he was at Damar Hamlin's bedside after his injury), training mobile response medical teams in Ukraine, and more, Mayer covers such topics as: <p/>
- Why trust is vital for innovation
- The critical role of failure in devising new ways of leading
- How questions fuel innovative action
- Why every leader should have the title Chief Story Teller
- The importance of distinguishing between data, knowledge, and wisdom
Each chapter begins with a provocative and seemingly contradictory statement, like the book's title, and includes stories, historical examples, and literary lessons selected to guide pragmatic and practical solutions. <p/>Leadership is worthless because it is something you say, a noun. But leading is priceless because it is a verb--it is the things we do that make a difference. From Pentagon generals to corporate CEOs to football players on the field to parents driving their kids to school, Mayer shows how leaders ensure that their actions will help others to succeed.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. These leadership lessons work for leaders at every level when everything goes wrong, from the doctor who saved lives after the 9/11 attacks, in war-torn Ukraine, and on the NFL sidelines. Dr. Thom Mayer doesn't just talk about leadership: he lives it in the world's most high-stakes situations. From commanding the 9/11 Pentagon rescue operation to rushing onto NFL fields during medical emergencies to training doctors in war-torn Ukraine, Mayer has learned that leadership isn't about titles or positions. It's about action. In this practical guide, Mayer reveals eleven provocative principles that flip conventional leadership wisdom: "Leadership is worthless . . . but leading is priceless." "Power is worthless . . . but influence is priceless." "Success is worthless . . . but failure is priceless." Through gripping stories from the Pentagon's smoking corridors, NFL sidelines, and Ukrainian hospitals, he shows how real leaders emerge not from corner offices but from moments of crisis when someone must step up and act. Whether readers are managing a team, raising a family, or facing a crossroads, Mayer's hard-won insights will transform how readers think about influence, teamwork, and making decisions under pressure. This isn't theoretical leadership. Mayer offers battle-tested wisdom from someone who has led when lives hung in the balance. Seller Inventory # 00110065278
