<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver</b><p>Mack has written the book he wishes someone would have given him in 1988 when he was an entry-level machine operator in a manufacturing plant as he started his career at the bottom on the front lines. He feels it would have changed his life then. He also believes it can change your life now.</p><p>In Blue-Collar Leadership(R) Leading from the Front Lines, you'll learn how to separate yourself from the crowd quickly by learning how to master the traits that high impact leaders worth following value most.</p><p>You will learn how to get noticed by the right people and how to get promoted for the right reasons.</p><p>You will learn how to become a sought after employee, a high impact individual worth developing and worth following, and you don't need formal authority (position) because you will develop something better: moral authority (influence).</p><p>Everyone has the capacity to increase their leadership ability. However, not everyone has a desire to do it.</p><p>Blue-Collar Leadership(R) was written specifically for developing those in entry-level positions who are working on the front lines of blue-collar organizations. If that's you, it will help you unleash your own potential. If you're the leader of those on the front lines, it will help you release your team's potential.</p><p>Blue-Collar Leadership(R) features content specifically created to help the front line work force better understand: </p><p>- how to become high impact individuals</p><p>- how to become high impact team players</p><p>- how to make an impact right where they are</p><p>- why they should and how they can accept more responsibility</p><p>- how to intentionally become more valuable and successful</p><p>- how to increase their influence with their leaders and their teammates</p><p>- how to become an employee worth promoting</p><p>With 30 short, easy-to-read 3 page chapters, Blue-Collar Leadership(R) was written for those who are working on the front lines, by someone who spent more than ten years working on the front lines. It's also perfectly formatted for conducting book studies with your team.</p><p>Although Blue-Collar Leadership(R) was intended for those on the front lines, it's packed full of principles that will help anyone at any level in any industry learn to become a high impact individual. However, the greatest value will be for those in the blue-collar workforce on the front lines, those who lead them, and those who support them.</p><p><b>NOTE: Blue-Collar Leadership(R) Leading from the Front Lines was also released under the title "Maximize Your Potential: Unleashing the LEADER Within" to support those outside the blue-collar industries. The content is nearly identical.</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mack's story is an amazing journey of personal and professional growth. He married Ria in 2001.
