Roots, Relationships, and Results (Paperback or Softback)

WHAT IF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF LEADERSHIP ISN'T WHAT YOU ACHIEVE, BUT WHO YOU BECOME?

In Roots, Relationships, and Results, Shawn D. Moon, Jon Laudie, and Cameron Moon challenge the familiar formula of leadership. Their research across industries surfaces one truth: lasting results don't come from pressure, position, or personality. They grow from deeper roots.

Who you become is shaped in the unseen places: how you steady yourself under pressure, how you show up in relationships, and how you choose what matters most. You become the leader people trust, seek out, and remember.

Drawing on the unguarded stories of more than 100 leaders, this book will help you align your values with your actions and lead in a way that deepens roots, strengthens relationships, and produces lasting results.

Because in the end, results don't come from what you chase. They grow from what you cultivate.

PRAISE FOR ROOTS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND RESULTS

"Roots, Relationships, and Results asks the kind of leadership question that matters most: not simply how do we achieve more, but how do we become the kind of people others can trust, learn from, and grow with? Drawing on real wisdom from leaders across industries and generations, this book is both practical and reflective - an invitation to lead with greater clarity, deeper humanity, and a longer view of what results truly endure."

Jon Laudie has spent his career at the intersection of finance, strategy, and people. What keeps drawing him back to that intersection is a pattern he has seen repeat itself across every organization he has been part of: the best-run companies are also the best places to work.For more than two decades, he has led teams across a wide range of organizations, from startups finding their footing to multi-billion- dollar enterprises, in both public and private settings, including 1-800 Contacts, Ancestry, Lucid, Netflix, and Zerorez. That journey has taken him through the corporate finance ranks to the president and CFO seat, across environments ranging from rapid organic growth to complex acquisitions and integrations, giving him a ground-level view of what leadership actually looks like when the pressure is highest and the stakes are real.Jon holds a bachelor of science and an MBA from Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Business. Outside of work, he is most at home with his wife and three kids, and can usually be found on a golf course, a mountain trail, or picking up whichever instrument is closest.
