I have not read a more powerful book on business leadership. James R. Doty, M.D., Founder and Director of CCARE, Stanford University and bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop
With the many challenges facing owners and leadership teams of privately-owned companies, trying to lead effectively can a bit elusive. The problems we face as leaders often feel complex to get our hands around and our resources seem scarce. Yet the heart felt urge to create something special within our organization remains strong.
Leading from the Edge of the Inside provides a simple path to shifting your leadership patterns and those of your leadership team. It brings to light the invisible patterns that no longer serve you, allows you to see these patterns and offers the structure for you and your leadership team to playfully practice shifting.
If youve noticed that traditional leadership levers are less and less effective you arent alone. As you practice the essential conversations; value creation, execution, growth, leader effectiveness, management team coherence, collaboration, connection, and inner fluency, traction will improve and your ability to scale will simplify. More importantly, the quality of meaning you and each employee experience will become measurable and leading will once again become more fun.

Acknowledgements

This book emerged through my work with management teams and Vistage members in Seattle, Washington. I wish to thank Curt Altig for offering me an initial framework to test my early ideas. Without his encouragement this book would never have been written. I also wish to thank the many CEO and executive members of the Vistage groups I have chaired and the management teams I have worked with. My interactions with them around the ideas I was trying to articulate in our groups over many years, shaped each of the pages in this book. I also want to thank my colleagues, the Vistage Chairs who have encouraged me throughout this endeavor.

I want to thank writing coach Rob Jolles for pushing me in the very early stages of this manuscript and my editor Cara Highsmith for the depth of commitment displayed throughout the entire creative process. A special thank you to Jim Henderson for generously advising me and also for connecting me to expert help.

Also, this book has been shaped by several very brave people who serve as my alpha and beta readers: Leslie Osborne, Tom Zahniser, Tom Paladino, Carole Whitaker, Tim Call, and John Nichols. The endless hours they invested to help me bring order out of chaos exceeded my expectations. I want to acknowledge my friend Michael Stuart. Our weekly conversations strengthened my spirit.

I am especially happy to be able to acknowledge and thank my wife, Becky, for her continuing role in my spiritual development, especially for the way she models a life of prayer. Our morning conversations are among my lifes most fulfilling experiences.

Thanks be to God!

INTRODUCTION

The primary concern that occupies the minds of most company leaders is solving problems, and it becomes the focus of most management team meetings. I want to help you and your management team tackle problem solving from a new perspective, using an approach I developed during my own leadership journey.

While I was the majority owner of a software company, I became a member of Vistage Internationalthe largest CEO membership organization in the world. A Vistage CEO group consists of up to sixteen CEOs of privately owned companies. After I sold the software company, I decided to become a Vistage chair. That role became a learning lab for me to study patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that consistently sabotage the best intentions of CEOs.

This is how it all started. Susan, the regional president for a public company and a very bright, take-charge kind of leader, set the tone for something special to happen within her company: she demonstrated a willingness to be vulnerable in front of her employees, something few leaders do voluntarily.
