THE Field Guide for Savvy Leaders
Douglas A. Van Dyke, MBA
Preface
“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.” – Amelia Earhart, American aviator, 1897 – 1937
This book is about action: results, growing skills, enhancing technique, getting things done. Also, this book is between you and me. I want to talk with you and share facts, ideas, and concepts. In addition, I have sought to structure each chapter so as to get to the heart of the matter as quickly as possible. Hopefully this book will resonate with you and stir action. Who knows, while reading it you may even smile a time or two.
Feel free to skip around. Review the Table of Contents and flip to a topic that interests you. Successful people are busy, so do not hesitate to go directly to a section that will help you quickly embrace a fresh idea or pick up a new business tool. In short, use this book however it will enhance your effectiveness.
My experience over the past twenty-five years is that people who take action are successful. Mind you, action does not always lead to success. It is merely an attempt to move forward, and forward-thinkers drive accomplishment and innovation. In any case, it is my hope that you use this book as a field guide. It is packed full of proven items developed while coaching thousands of professionals and working with hundreds of organizations throughout the United States.
