Using Assessment And Coaching To Propel
Your Leaders And Organization To Greatness. (2012)
John’s new book targets Human Resource professionals, leadership and Organization Development (OD) professionals, internal and external consultants as well as CEO’s and operating executives. STEALTH LEADERSHIP explores and explains the strategic importance and power that leadership assessment and coaching have in driving an organization’s operating success. The Stealth Leadership Model is unique, compelling and simple to understand yet most organizations struggle executing its basic principles.

(3) More effectively leverage assessment results;
(4) Effectively utilize the “9 Box” methodology

(7) Enable you to coach executives to become the absolute best they can be
UNLOCKING & UNLEASHING
YOUR EXECUTIVE POTENTIAL (2012)
John’s fourth book is intended for current leaders at all levels as well as emerging leaders who desire to become the best that they can be.
John uses his proprietary Executive Maturity Model as the foundation for describing and teaching executives the predictive components that unlock and unleash their potential.
These components include:
(1) Being able to achieve emotional maturity through possessing a core of strong self- awareness, self-concept, values and optimistic belief systems;
(2) Positive Thinking;
(3) Affirmative Emotions that empower both leaders and followers and,
(4) Possessing Skills and Competencies that drive executive success
SUCCESS YOURSELF:
How To Unlock & Unleash Your Leadership Potential
Originally published by MasterMedia in 1996, this was the first Enneagram book written for leaders. SUCCESS YOURSELF explains in remarkable detail how to use the Enneagram—the only psychodynamic model of personality—that divides all leadership behavior into nine predominant types. Unlike other personality models, however, which typically explain leadership behavior in terms of four types, the Enneagram provides clear paths to follow to achieve greater levels of self-understanding and leadership maturity. SUCCESS YOURSELF also includes the Mattone Leadership Enneagram Inventory (MLEI), which details a leader’s predominant type along with a “maturity metric” tied to the nine types that comprise their style. The book includes a powerful chapter on how leaders can increase their self-awareness and emotional intelligence—the two characteristics that predict executive success.
POSITIVE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT:
A Guide To “Win/Win” Reviews
Originally published by National Press in 1996, POSITIVE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT (a best seller), describes how most leaders (and their employees) get anxious when conducting performance review discussions. PPM provides the strategies you can use as a leader to ensure your review discussions are positive, powerful and stress-free.
PPM will help you:
(1) Review your employees in a fair, honest and objective manner;
(2) Successfully execute the validated PPM Cycle;
(3) Coach, motivate and inspire your employees to achieve breakthrough performance;
(4) Set measurable performance criteria; and,
(5) Successfully use “checkpoints” to keep employees on track.
