Up, Down or Sideways:
How to Succeed When Times are Good, Bad or In Between: Can You "Crush" an Economic Curve Ball?
There is global instability in the financial markets, the U.S. faces the threat of another recession, unemployment is high and consumer confidence is low.
How are you doing in your business?
Mark Sanborn has insights that will help you keep hitting it out of the park despite the wicked curve balls you`re being thrown.
In just one year, Mark simultaneously faced a life-threatening shockwave, business challenges and his investments took a serious hit.
Yet, Mark remains convinced this perfect storm of setbacks was the flashpoint of a lifetime. After decades of great success, he was acutely staged to deploy his `mastery of the unpredictable.`
Maybe life has pushed your face in the mud while others around you were building monuments. Maybe you`ve said, I`m doing everything right, I don`t deserve this. Why are they successful... and I`m not?
The answer is elegant in its simplicity. Your competitors are leveraging `the unpredictable.`
Vigilant managers expect unpredictability to pounce from behind every bend. So, they vigorously apply what Mark found to be the six (often malnourished) principles that always insure victory.
Mark`s epiphany was, setbacks can actually fuel your survival and prosperity... in economic conditions that go Up, Down or Sideways

You Don`t Need a Title to Be a Leader:
How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference
In his work with corporate America, Mark Sanborn has found that too many definitions of leadership are focused on the outer manifestation of leadership: the title, position on the org chart, and corner office space. These perquisites of appointed leadership may have little to do with the actual ability of the individual who enjoys them to lead. Sanborn has found that the more telling characteristic of true leaders is their power with people as opposed to the positional power they may enjoy over people.
As one of our leading thinkers, authors and speakers on leadership, Mark has focused on the true heart of leadership; What he refers to as little `l` leadership. This genuine leadership is not conferred by title or location in the executive suite. It is leadership demonstrated through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.
