I recently started the process of choosing and training for what I believe will be my lifetime career and this is a book I reference internally or in conversions daily. It is on par if not greater in message and quality with the most popular leadership books/trainings in popular media and the world. Its basis is forged in the fire of real-life crisis and chaos and has honed into clean concise lessons with the saved rounds mentality. This book helped to shape me as a young man into the kind of person that serves my co-workers, peers, community, and my own family.
I truly believe I would not be the person I am today without the guidance The Program book and The Program Team provided me. “Do your Job” clearly defined my outlook from the concept in my mind, to a clear cut phrase. The individual guidance I was given by one team member of leveling up every aspect of myself equally, to perform at the highest level in everything I do, has made me an asset instead of a liability.
This book taught me that leadership is both a gift and a burden. We will not always be liked as a leader. We will not always be friends with our teams as a leader. However, we will always be respected for our leadership and respect for others; we will always be appreciated for our knowledge and ability; we will always be the standard and exceed it to show others what can be done.
I am sad to see this leaving Audible on 10/30/2024. I listen to this book regularly to learn more and remind myself who I need to be for those around me and for myself.
Outstanding book. Outstanding message. Outstanding organization.
Thank you for a life-changing experience.
