Emanating
from modern business research, but based on a philosophy over 10,000
years old, Leadership Lessons from the Medicine Wheel: The Seven
Elements of High Performance is the foundation for creating
excellence in any organization. Discovered by Cherokee-American
author Gary Lear and recognized and taught at leadership development
programs such as the US Navy’s Center for Naval Leadership, the
Seven Elements of High Performance™ provide a framework for
understanding what elevates the best organizations above mediocrity,
and gives leaders a guide for improving their organization’s
performance.
Cherokee-American author Gary Lear, a researcher and organizational
performance consultant, spent three years studying what separated
the most successful organizations from the rest, focusing on the
commonalities across the hundreds of large-scale research studies he
reviewed. A pattern
quickly emerged and when it was all done, the Seven Elements that
emerged had strong links to the teachings and philosophies
surrounding the American Indian Medicine Wheel.
In Leadership Lessons from the Medicine Wheel: The Seven Elements of
High Performance,
Gary teaches you about the concept of the Medicine Wheel and then
leads you through each of the Seven Elements.
He provides an understanding of why each element is important
and how it works individually and collectively to drive exceptional
achievement. Gary also
shares with you some stories and ideas on how to use the
Seven Elements of High Performance™ in your organization to achieve
success and significance.

Praises
During
the past decade, a number of good books on organizational
performance have been published; however, none so succinctly,
creatively, or compellingly describes how to emotionally connect
with employees to unlock their hidden potential to create high
performance organizations.
This is a must read for all managers desiring to achieve high
levels of sustainable performance.

This leadership
book comes at a time when there is a shortage of really new ideas on
how to resolve the upcoming leadership shortage. The book’s focus on
building a performance culture and increasing innovation based on a
foundation that is based on a mixture of lessons learned from
American Indian culture and traditional leadership research is a
breath of fresh air.
