We are all leaders in some form or fashion. Whether you are leading a team at work, you are involved in your church or community, you are caring for your family, or you are pursuing personal goals and aspirations in life, you are practicing some form of leadership. The quality of your results and the amount of fulfillment you get out of such pursuits depends less on your specific circumstances and much more on how well you understand and apply a set of timeless and universal leadership principles.
Unfortunately, the education and training we receive in the course of our academic and professional careers still leave most of us completely unaware of the simple truths about what’s keeping us from declaring, pursuing, and achieving the extraordinary in our lives.
The Transformative Leader is an easy read, chock-full of entertaining stories and anecdotes presented in twenty short One Point Lessons. Each lesson is designed to put you in touch with the extraordinary leader in you, and to compel you to think and act in ways that will make your career and life as fulfilling and rewarding as you want them to be. Each lesson comes with a set of discovery questions and recommended actions that will guide you in the process of applying the material in your life, in a way that makes a difference for you.
If you do have formal leadership responsibilities, you will find an abundance of insight in the book on the mindset of leaders and ways in which you can cultivate those in yourself. If you are an aspiring leader, you will find the tools, skills, and mindset to ensure your leadership journey is successful. You will also be introduced to the characteristics of a High Commitment Culture, where everyone on the team is fired up about making extraordinary things happen, and ways to get your team there, no matter where you are on the organizational chart.

“The Transformative Leader should be read and re-read by any manager who wishes to make a difference!”
— Reut Schwartz-Hebron,
Senior Consultant, Founder of the Key Change Institute, Author of Making Difficult Change Simple
“The fact that Amir was and still is an effective leader of people makes his words, stories, and message much more meaningful and impactful. I really like how he assembled the main content into 20 easy-to-understand, relate-able “One Point Lessons” to zero in on each specific principle. The end of chapter summary, reflective questions, and recommended actions make his book a valuable tool and resource that can be used to guide yourself and your team to the next level. I especially liked the chapter on “Passion & Drama.” I highly recommend reading and adding this book to your library.”
— Mack Story, Leadership Expert & Author of Blue Collar Leadership
