How do you develop the people who will one day lead your company? "High Flyers" challenges conventional wisdom about how to groom executives for the top positions in the firm by presenting a strategic framework for identifying and developing future executives that senior managers can use to identify and develop future executives. McCall demonstrates that the best executives aren't necessarily managers who possess a previously identified, generic list of traits or who have risen to the top through survival of the fittest. Rather, the real leaders of the future are those who have the ability to learn from their experiences and remain open to continuous learning. If these people get the right experiences on the job, they will have the ultimate opportunity to learn new executive skills. Full of vivid real-life examples, "High Flyers" is for everyone in the organization who has responsibility for developing people - as well as for aspiring managers who want to learn what it takes to become truly effective leaders. For companies, "High Flyers" demonstrates the power of executive development as a competitive advantage and the way to ensure the best leadership for the future.

A playbook for entrepreneurs, with assessments and stories from highly renowned entrepreneurs, this book will help the reader identify, create and realize their own entrepreneurial opportunities perspective and approach that builds positive interest, kinship, and engagement based on difference. What are the defining traits of great entrepreneurs? Do you have what it takes to build a great business? In "Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck", three entrepreneurs and advisors-turned-venture capitalists delineate the traits in the title ("HSGL") as absolutely critical. From their work with hundreds of executives and business builders across the globe, the authors found that every one of their subjects-from young founder to sea-soned CEO-possesses these attributes in some combination. For you, figuring out which trait drives you can lead to a greater awareness in your entrepreneurial profile and help you, and your organization, achieve the success you want. In the book, the authors uncover the fact that no single archetype for entrepreneurial success exists. But by figuring out your HSGL profile, you can develop an awareness of which traits you should "dial up" or "dial down." For those in organizations, to realize the full potential of your group, knowing your HSGL profile can improve your natural leadership style and improve your interactions with others. So are you heart-dominant, like chef Alice Waters or Starbucks' Howard Schultz? Smarts-dominant, like Jeff Bezos of Amazon? Guts-dominant, like Virgin's Richard Branson or Nelson Mandela? Or do you carry the luck trait, like Tony Hsieh of Zappos admits to leveraging to reach his success? In "Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck", the Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test (EAT) will help determine your profile. Also, the book provides additional tools and inspiration to offer a digestible, practical, useful, and engaging read.
