Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Every leader reaches a moment when skill isn't enough. When the challenge cuts deeper and tests conviction, humility, and heart. The Core takes readers into that defining space, introducing us to Clint Smith and his mentor, Dr. Bill Jackson, and revealing that the foundation of lasting influence doesn't come from power or position - it comes from the strength of one's core. Through the journey of a young man whose plans are upended by tragedy, The Core blends a compelling story of mentorship with timeless principles of leadership. Under Dr. Jackson's guidance - a hospital CEO who leads with quiet strength and deep conviction - Clint discovers that great leadership grows from the inside out. Part fable, part field guide, The Core reveals eight essential principles that form the foundation of authentic leadership: Work for the good of the people; Keep your ego in check; Embrace truth; Lead with your ears; Show up with grace; Pace yourself and extend the game; Be coachable; Know where you're going and why. Accessible, practical, and deeply inspiring, The Core reminds us that leadership is not about power or prestige - it's about character, consistency, and courage. Whether you're leading in the boardroom, classroom, community, or home, this book will help you build the strength to lead well and live with purpose. Leadership isn't for the few. It's for all of us - and it begins at the core. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781637635582
