Power to Lead, Introductory Letter :

Greetings:
SelectBooks, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of The Power to Lead: Lessons in Creating Your Unique Masterpiece. This powerful handbook provides a concise blueprint for the modern leader, whether he or she is serving a leadership role in a business organization, politics, or with a not for profit group. The guidelines prescribed in these pages are the fundamentals of an often imperfectly understood discipline. But anyone seeking to give direction to an enterprise which requires the management of other people must come to grips with these tenets or face the inevitable consequences.

The Power to Lead lays the groundwork for focused command over demanding situations. And it does so in a crisp, engaging written style; authors Gregg Thompson and Bruna Martinuzzi are not only seasoned professionals in the field of leadership coaching, but experienced authors as well (this is Gregg’s third published title and Bruna’s second).

In the The Power to Lead, our authors employ an unconventional but effective literary device, using the artist and fine arts as metaphors for the leader and the objectives of leadership. The parallels that are revealed in this comparison are eye-opening and moreover, they lend this book a quality which transcends your standard business and leadership treatise. The discussion is further illuminated by self-testing questionnaires and interviews from some well known and not so well known individuals who have proven themselves in leadership roles, regardless of personal fame. These interviews provide intimate, first hand accounts of the subjects’ experiences, successes, failures, and lessons learned.

The Power to Lead is the fifth title in SelectBooks’ very successful BluePoint Leadership Series and we believe it has great potential to stand out amongst other business leadership titles as a cornerstone work in this exciting category.

Many thanks,
