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 the areas of 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 the classics of frameworks and 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!
