Deciding on higher performance and excellence is a mental commitment to discover or rediscover how to lead and a physical commitment to do something to create the change.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Tammy Berberick\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe consistent habits in our day-to-day behaviors have profound relevance to managers and executives who expect high-performing teams. Leaders who develop great teams and great outcomes recognize three things: Learning never ends. Practicing new behaviors is the only way to improve. And, leadership habits influence the results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCartoonist, Andrew Toos, drew a picture of six managers sitting together at a boardroom table. On the wall, in view of the group, are two charts showing sharply falling profits and sales. As the group perplexes over ways to improve, one of the managers asks, \"What if we don't change at all… and something magical happens?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mindset that improvement can happen magically, without effort, may seem absurd. But many managers consciously or unconsciously expect to improve without action.

The book clearly defines habits of mind and patterns of behavior that form the foundation for building teams that succeed. With the help of real-world examples and case studies, the authors show you how those habits and patterns apply evenly across small, medium, large, and global organizations. They form a universal standard of leadership that bridges industries and cultures.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrestcom Leadership Institute, supported by a global network of leadership companies and a faculty of thought leaders, collects valuable insights from thousands of managers, executives, and CEOs who participate annually in training worldwide. Despite the complexities and diversity of businesses in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, Caribbean, and Australia, the evidence of Crestcom's worldwide experience is that all people can speak one language—the language of leadership. The ability to lead is the sum of habits, your habits. Reading \u003ci\u003eThe Leadership Habit\u003c\/i\u003e alone will not bring magical change.
