Before the weekly blog post on leadership – and I have something special for you this week – I want to remind you that my new book is out on Kindle right now and Hardcover/Softcover on May 29.
…BUT…I have arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Kindle book on Monday, May 29, and Tuesday, May 30, so if you’re a Kindle reader, go to this link on May 29th or 30th and download a copy FOR FREE.
Share this with people you think will appreciate the work we are doing.
I have free resources, including fillable PDFs and worksheets, podcast appearances, presentations, and an audiobook (coming soon) on my website here. Check them out, and I will keep adding to them as we get more and more resources to help you execute on the ideas in the book.
If you want to help spread the word about my new book…you can:
- Leave an honest review on Amazon.
- Send a copy of the book to people you think will love it and use it.
Scroll down to see some of the very generous endorsements I’ve already received for the book. I’m so grateful to know these amazing and supportive people.
Thank you for all your support!
This week, rather than a blog post, I want to feature a podcast I was on with the Host, Dr. Paulie Gavoni, a behavioral psychologist who works in schools and education.
Paulie was kind enough to have me on his podcast to talk about my new book, “Results: The science-based approach to better productivity, profitability, and safety.”, Available on Amazon Kindle now and on hard/soft cover on May 29.
We see eye-to-eye on lots of things around the topics of leadership and behavior change, so we can go for hours.
Lots of fun.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Oh, how I wish I had this book as I began and refined my leadership journey. In it, John doesn’t just tell you the what and the how. Through his practical 5 step process, he also gives you the why, the when, the where, the how much, and the how often through compelling stories that illustrate key concepts.
His entire approach, laid out in an easy-to-understand format, is grounded in the science of human behavior. This is a must-read for both emerging and veteran leaders.
