"'Don't Wait, Lead Now is a must-read for emerging leaders and anyone in leadership that wants to up their game-- full of practical, real-world examples that highlight the traits and behaviors that create high-performing teams. " Rita Mitjans, ACC President & Founder at BizGuru LLC This book is my attempt to capture some of the most memorable, real-life leadership stories that I've heard, learned from others, read about, or personally experienced and benefited from in my own growth as a man, a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a leader. My intention is to use these stories as a tool for others looking to manage and lead others. Ever since I was a kid, I've used analogies, stories, and anecdotes as a way to help me get my messages across in a more fun and succinct manner. I've learned that people tend to relate to information differently, and by that, I mean more effectively when they have perspective; when the information being shared with them is something they can relate to. As I grew up working countless blue-collar jobs between the ages of twelve and twenty-one, I began to learn how to use this technique as a means to build relationships, establish credibility, and create a personal brand for myself. When I entered the corporate world, I was pleased to find that these skills were easily transferable into the business world. This book is filled with real-world experiences and lessons you can easily apply to your own situation to help you become a more effective leader, whether in business, family, or life in general.

Winner of the Costa Biography Award, a fascinating exploration of one of the 20th century's most influential poets.
You expect clarity and simplicity from a leader; you expect their words to count. But such is not always the case.

Using his experience as a renowned leadership expert, R. Paul Vuolle brings you back to basics on how to lead people in a straightforward and honest way. Relatable and empathetic, Paul's message is simple but effective, and cuts through the bullshit so you can lead and manage people effectively.

Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can.

She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.
