LEAD FROM THE CORE

After a hugely successful career working for the top names in hospitality, André Balazs, Ian Schrager, etc, Jim was hired by Forbes to lead workshops for those restaurants/hotels/spas around the world looking to receive the Forbes 5-Star Rating. Along the way, he created a leadership curriculum which became so popular that companies were hiring him just to come and teach it. Through his extensive network of contacts, the popularity of the curriculum extended beyond hospitality and he started a consultancy company as well, teaching the same curriculum to individuals and companies as diverse as XL Construction (they do about $800M a year in sales) and Chanel. The book will show readers how to tap into their own leadership strengths through self-awareness, which he teaches using the Enneagram (of which he is a 20 year board certified expert). Each chapter will tackle challenges that are common whether you are the CEO of a startup, manager of a team or even just starting out, such as conflict, collaboration and public speaking.
