People are hungry to make a difference and achieve but they are hardwired to hold themselves back and sabotage success. When innovation, progress, and execution matter, your job as a leader in the middle is to help people get out of their own way.

Get ready to discover the moxie mindset formula and how you can influence it through your day-to-day interactions with people. By understanding the behavioral influences that intrinsically impact people every day, you can herald an approach to work that echoes Jack Welch’s and Anne Mulchaey. Get ready to explore the art and science behind people successes (and failures) that will catapult you into moxie manager status and leave mediocrity behind forever.

Doing extraordinary things is not limited to the executive suite. But somewhere between executives and contributors, the halls are bursting with complacency and mediocrity. Corporate America is starved for moxie in their managers. The time for middle leadership to shine is now!

Practical and inspiring, Moxie for Managers made me appreciate even more the value that influence has in leading effectively. It proves that anyone at any level of an organization can exert influence and effect change. With this book as a guide there are no more excuses for being stuck in relationships with others; there are only opportunities to bring out the full potential in people.

As Mentoring Leaders, we have the opportunity to help people throughout the organization discover the magic of mentoring. And when our leaders seem lackluster our managers act mediocre, and our individual contributors appear idle, our organization begs for magic!

Why Mentoring?

Because of its power to influence change. When we teach learners a new skill, only 10% of them will transfer that new skill into practice. Butt add mentoring, and 90% of those learners will transfer that new skill into practice.

That's the power of people developing people! The most stress-free, time efficient, cost-effective development tool is at your fingertips, ready to mobilize leaders at ever level of your organization.

"Ann is the most engaging person I’ve ever encountered. She is articulate, passionate and inspirational all wrapped up into one person. Our employees were greatly impacted by her message on moxie and continue to talk about the impact of not only her message but the way she delivered it; with authenticity and care for our employees. She provided practical tools and concepts our employees have begun to utilize. I’ve already had employees wanting her to come back to speak. She is a great person to bring into your organization for providing vision and motivation for your employees or practical advice on how to improve as an organization."
