The authors hope that readers and their teams will consider "Power Score" to be "the most useful book about leadership." The book aims to help leaders understand whether their teams are running at full power, as only 10 percent of leaders are able to do so.
The formula presented in the book is based on extensive research spanning more than 15,000 careers with over 9 million data points. It has been battle-tested for over two decades by leaders in every major industry, and it works.
Successful leadership, the book argues, starts with three key questions: (1) Priorities - Do we have the right priorities? (Only 24 percent of leaders do.) (2) Who - Do we have the right people on the team? (Only 14 percent of leaders do.) (3) Relationships - Do we have the right relationships that deliver results? (Only 47 percent of leaders do.)
The book teaches readers how to calculate their team's Power Score and how to improve each of the three key areas of leadership. It provides compelling statistics and inspiring stories of both successful and failed leaders, offering guidance on what to do and what not to do.
The authors promise that the book is easy to read and that the approach it presents can quickly boost a team's results. When leaders dial up their team's Power Score, they can make a greater impact, help their team earn more money for their cause, and enjoy greater career success.
The book has received praise from various sources, including Forbes, The Globe and Mail, Success, and Atul Gawande, the New York Times bestselling author of "Being Mortal" and "The Checklist Manifesto." FedEx's chairman and CEO, Frederick W. Smith, has also endorsed the book, stating that the authors have turned more than twenty years of research on leadership into a practical, systematic approach for getting results.
Finally, the book's principles have been applied by a CEO, Jeff Booth of BuildDirect, who reports enjoying "explosive growth" and "more fun as a leader than ever before" as a result.
