Inhaltsangabe

Leadership, Harvard Business School professor Archie L. Jones, Jr. explains, is not about title or status, but about influence and impact. Leadership capital consists of the resources you have that can empower you to work with others to achieve your goal.

In The Treasure You Seek, Archie L. Jones, Jr. shares his lessons in leadership―focused on the notion of leadership capital and the 5 Cs (capability, culture, communication, connection, and confidence). Each of the 5 Cs is a tool for readers to develop and deploy leadership capital in order to achieve whatever success means to them―their treasure. In treating each of the 5 Cs, he lays out his own experience and walks the reader though the building blocks of developing and then leveraging that “C.”

This book is for aspiring entrepreneurs―which, to Archie L. Jones, Jr., just means “someone with a dream,” whether to start a business and build an empire, start a nonprofit to change the world, or simply to be upwardly mobile and change one’s own life. This book is not just for “leaders” in a narrow sense, but is for those looking to advance in their lives or careers, to take their game to the next level, as well as for coaches who are working with people in this position. Jones’ messages have resonated with corporate leaders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and students at many levels across the world.

You Don’t Have to Be the Boss to Be a Leader:
Harness and Leverage Leadership Capital to Achieve Your Goals and Attain Your Treasure

Most leadership books are written for people who are already, you know, “leaders”―corporate execs, high-ranking managers, entrepreneurs. They aren’t going to speak to that disadvantaged young person with a dream to create a change in the world, or that entry-level employee with big ideas about how their organization could be better. But these people can have just as much capacity to lead as a CEO, and they can have just as much entrepreneurial drive as a startup founder. And they can benefit from lessons in leadership from an honest, authentic teacher and coach.

Leadership, as Archie L. Jones, Jr. tells it, is a power of social influence that maximizes the efforts of others toward the achievement of a goal. Anyone with a goal that they need to enlist others to help achieve is, at least potentially, a leader―whether they are a student or a professor at Harvard Business School.

In The Treasure You Seek, Archie L. Jones, Jr. sets out to share his lessons with a broader audience. Readers will learn how to establish, build, and leverage their leadership capital―their resources and influence―to achieve their goals. The treasure you seek may be social impact, political influence, productive community engagement, or creating and leading a healthy, happy family. Whatever treasure you seek, leadership capital is the resource to help you get there.
