In Real Leadership, author John
Addison shares his straightforward practices for successful leadership through
his personal and professional journey, helping leaders at any level understand
and emulate the nine principles that fostered enduring results on his path to
success.
As co-CEO of Primerica--the largest independent
financial services marketing organization in North America--from 1999 to 2015,
Addison spearheaded the company through a period of rapid growth in the
early 2000's, then helped navigate the company through the worst financial
crisis since the Great Depression, and the separation from their parent
company, Citibank, which created one of the most successful IPOs of the decade.
Guiding the organization through these
monumental changes while also working to keep morale high, Addison developed a
passion and talent for motivating others that allowed him to inspire and
empower over a million people during his career.
The perspectives and personal laws of success
that he’s developed over decades of hard work and diligence boil down to the
principles of living your best life. Because that, says Addison, is the essence
of leadership: having the courage, honor, and integrity to live your true life,
the one you were put here to live, and to do it in a way that makes the world a
better place than it was before you got here.
Addison's story shares his experiences--from
small-town southern boy to influential CEO--providing a riveting read that is
down-to-earth and profound in its simplicity and honesty. His practical
takeaway lessons will help you lead better in every aspect of your life. It’s
the kind of leadership that others will follow over the long haul, through the
good times and the bad, through the ups and the downs; it’s real
leadership.
