The Leadership Secrets of Oz: Strategies from Great and Powerful to Flying Monkeys – Unleash Some Magic in Your Management by BJ Gallagher.

When Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion approached the great Wizard of Oz they assumed that their leader would wave his magic wand and solve their problems, leaving them off on their merry way. But that’s not how a leader inspires a team, and that’s not how a team finds success in the wonderful land of Oz. Instead, the Wizard guides them on their journey, reminding them of their own unique skills and abilities so they can accomplish their dreams. These unique and easy-to-use tools lay the foundation for great teamwork and inspiring management. You’ll create a more effective workplace using the Wizard’s easy-to-follow leadership principles, inspiring and encouraging both leaders and team members alike.

What she experienced along the way disrupted everything she thought she knew about responsibility and the value of  “hard work.”  Many of us are taking responsibility to an extreme by working ourselves to death and taking care of everyone else but our self. The good news is, you don’t have to quit your job, win the lottery, take off on a road trip or walk away from your responsibilities to lead a life you love.  All you have to do is get crystal clear about what matters to YOU and start bringing more of that into your work, career, relationships and life.   Sam is founder, and CEO of the INTRIGUE AGENCY- http://www.intrigueagency.com/ helps people create respectful, collaborative, compelling, one-of-a-kind communications and projects that scale their income and positive influence – for good.

Influence Redefined: Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be, Monday to Monday by Stacey Hanke This on demand audio is a part of the The Game Changer Network Series.

Your team is only as strong as your influence, and many leaders today are mistaken about what it means to be influential.

In fact, many leaders are unwillingly and unknowingly sabotaging themselves and their influence. In her thought-provoking Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke introduces her powerful Influence Model, a step-by-step method for improving communication and producing the ideal type of influence—one that moves people to action long after an interaction is over. She dispels the most common influence myths and instructs leaders on how to stop sabotaging themselves in order to leave a positive, lasting impression.

Based on interviews with more than a hundred senior executives – both men and women – Morgan and Jay describe ways of breaking through to new levels of leadership. The authors call these breakthroughs the advantages: powerful ways women lead the way toward a better future. In many organizations, women are not advancing. Despite an appreciation for talent and diversity, the representation of women dwindles at each level of leadership, causing a loss of talent, a lack of balance on the leadership team, discouragement among women, attrition, and poor public perception.
