Was that really what he was here to do?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith their acclaimed bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Go-Giver\u003c\/i\u003e, Bob Burg and John David Mann proved that a heartfelt parable could also express a powerful idea. In \u003ci\u003eThe Go-Giver Leader \u003c\/i\u003e(originally pub­lished as \u003ci\u003eIt’s Not About You\u003c\/i\u003e), they offer an equally compelling tale about a struggling small business and the ambitious young executive trying to lead them to a crucial decision. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAllen \u0026amp; Augustine has manufactured high-quality chairs for decades. Its people take pride in their work and feel loyal to their owners and management team. But this revered company is now at a crossroads, hurt by a tough economy, foreign competition, and a cash crunch. The air is filled with the scent of uncertainty, anxiety, perhaps even panic. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInto this setting enters Ben, who’s been assigned by a larger firm to promote a merger that will rescue Allen \u0026amp; Augustine. Ben’s facts are undeniable: the chair maker can either merge and modernize or go bankrupt and vanish. So why can’t he persuade anyone to buy in, from the CEO on down?\u003cbr\u003eWill Ben find a way to sway the employee shareholders before the climactic vote? And can Allen \u0026amp; Augustine survive without losing its soul? The answers may surprise you as you follow Ben on his journey to understanding that the path to genuine influence lies less in \u003ci\u003etaking \u003c\/i\u003eleadership than in \u003ci\u003egiving \u003c\/i\u003eit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis revised and updated edition includes a new introduction, a discussion guide, and a Q\u0026amp;A with the authors.\u003c\/p\u003e“We should all seek to practice the message illustrated so elegantly in \u003ci\u003eThe Go-Giver Leader\u003c\/i\u003e—that great leaders don’t try to act like ‘leaders,’ they strive to be more \u003ci\u003ehuman\u003c\/i\u003e.” \u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eSimon Sinek\u003c\/b\u003e, optimist and author of \u003ci\u003eStart with Why\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeaders Eat Last\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book captures the essence of life and leadership.
