Pivot Points (ePub)

A Roadmap for Transforming Ambition into Achievement

In the sea of thrown-together, stereotypical leadership advice,
Julia Tang Peters' Pivot Points stands out like a
beacon. This book is not the result of trite 10-step recipes or
unstudied observations. Instead, its source is in-depth research
conducted among some of the country's most effective
leaders.

Intimate interviews and broad survey data reveal that the
leaders who stand out are the ones who fearlessly face the
decisions that characterize career turning points. Amazingly, the
people who break through barriers to transform industries
encounter--and effectively confront--the same five
critical decisions. In Pivot Points, you'll read how
five inspiring and approachable leaders made the choices that
cemented their legacies.

Pivot Points is a unique opportunity to learn from the
leaders you should learn from--authentic,
independent-minded people with a genuine desire to help others
understand how to lead. Tools developed from their candid accounts
will help you measure and assess your own career trajectory. With a
self-diagnostic questionnaire based on the book's unique
framework, you'll be able to identify warning signs of
stagnation and sustain the passion to achieve. Gain practical
insights from this valuable aid for professional development of
high achievers in every career stage.

Pivotal decisions can turn an ordinary career into an
extraordinary journey to success. The journey is a highly
individual one, and Pivot Points will inspire and guide you
in the processes of finding your own path to exceptional results.
Take a rare look into the process of shifting from the science of
management to the art of leadership, and let this one-of-a-kind
book propel you toward achieving your best self.
