In 2011, I was invited to write a chapter for a new book with other authors (including Jack Canfield, Denis Waitley, Deepak Chopra, and other leaders in business, leadership, and spirituality). While I did not know them or collaborate directly with them, this was one of the first things I was invited to write for publication, and I was delighted.
My chapter, Leading With Boots On: The Virtuous Cycle of Bootist Leadership, is one of the purest forms of my work. And by pure, I mean, before the IEP Method® was created, before we started doing big organizational and cultural programs, before I started shifting models and frameworks to meet people and companies where they were at, before I scaled up and then scaled back down to the simplest, most aligned forms of the work today, and before I fully trusted myself that this chapter was fit to print and share!
Reading this chapter many years later brings me back to a magical time. These principles are still very much aligned with how I speak today; however, they are classic frameworks for my style. It is my heartfelt intent and hope that you will enjoy this chapter and get whatever you want and need from it.
PS. I have extracted my chapter as a PDF for various reasons, which you can download. If you do want a copy of the entire full book with all the author’s chapters, please email me, and we’ll see what we can do!
