Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

The business world is ready for an entirely new approach to leadership, and Steve Farber has written the perfect book to energize business leaders and help them make the leap into extreme leadership. In fact, taking a giant L.E.A.P forward is exactly what Farber prescribes. What exactly is an extreme leader? One who cultivates love, generates energy, inspires audacity, and provides proof. In his exciting and innovative new business parable, The Radical Leap, Farber explores an entirely new leadership model, one in which leaders aren't afraid to take risks, make mistakes in front of employees, or actively solicit employee feedback. His book dispenses with the typical, tired notions of what it means to be a leader.

The story begins on a sunny California beach, where you’ll meet Steve, a leadership consultant. Steve’s strange encounter with a surfer named Edg, a hip, wise character who seems to know an awful lot about leadership, results in a journey Steve won’t soon forget. Along the way, Steve learns the concept of Extreme Leadership, based on the premise that all successful leaders practice—LEAP. Steve is then asked to help a friend, Janice, overcome conflicts at the biotech company where she works and bring back the company's inspiring former CEO. The company is revitalized, having undergone a radical and successful transformation. Farber's book reveals the questions leaders must ask themselves in order to truly become extreme leaders, including:
  • Why do I love my business, my employees, and my customers, and how can I show them how I feel?
  • What effect do my actions have on the energy of the people around me? (OR, What are the unnecessary, time-consuming, bureaucratic policies and procedures that suck our energy?)
  • How are we going to change the world of our company, our employees, customers, marketplace, and industry?
  • What have I done today to show my commitment to my colleagues and customers?
