Propeller: Modern Take on Classic Leadership Book Inspires Next Generation Leaders
TEMECULA, Calif. (PRWEB) June 25, 2019 -- Partners In Leadership, LLC, the firm that guides clients in defining Key Results™, shaping Cultural Beliefs® and solving Accountability Gaps, announces the release of Propeller: Accelerating Change by Getting Accountability Right. Published by Penguin Books, this is the latest title in the firm’s line up of bestselling business transformation books on accountability, culture, engagement, and results.
Available today, Propeller is coauthored by a Partners In Leadership team: Tanner Corbridge, Senior Partner; Jared Jones, Senior Partner; Craig Hickman, Futurist and international bestselling author of 17 books including The Oz Principle; and Tom Smith, cofounder of the firm and coauthor of The Oz Principle.
“Accountability is an age-old issue,” said Hickman when asked why the authors chose to revisit the topic for modern application. “It’s only getting worse with complexity.”
The authors are applying Partners In Leadership’s thirty years of proven success to a whole new concept: Propeller. This book presents a modern take on accountability, while remaining faithful to the elegantly simple premise: When people take personal ownership of their organization's priorities and accept responsibility for their own performance, they become more engaged and perform at a higher level.
“For the last 18 years, 70% of the American workforce has been either actively or passively disengaged at work. That number hasn’t changed significantly in all that time because of ownership issues,” said Corbridge.
The need for a modern guide to accountability implementation is apparent. This is why the authors crafted a book that teaches leaders how to define Key Results and get people to own their achievement, how to increase engagement and improve team performance, and how to use, apply, and integrate the tools and principles needed to foster a culture of accountability.
“You’ve got a rising generation in the workforce that is very different and comes with a whole new skillset to add to organizational complexity,” said Hickman. “This is why we wrote Propeller: to reinforce the simplicity. If you want to accelerate change, the only way to do it is to get positive accountability right.”
To develop the next generation of leaders, Partners In Leadership designed the Propeller app for teams. The Propeller app has intuitive tools rooted in See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It to inspire higher levels of personal engagement, ownership, and accountability for results. “We chose the title Propeller for both the book and the app because it captures in one word what this model aims to create: accelerated movement in a needed direction,” said Smith. The app can be found at partnersinleadership.com/propeller. Downloading is easy, and for a limited time there is a “three people for free” use offer.
With all new examples and stories, Propeller builds on The Oz Principle‘s legacy to inspire the next generation of readers to tap the incredible power of personal, team, and organizational accountability.
