I think it is legit. Will try it, but it makes sense so I have high confidence it will work. The key theme is that PEOPLE WORK FOR YOU. they dont work for the company or product or inspiration mostly. So if the BOSS (you) are not to their likely they will not give results and performance, but if they like you (the BOSS) they will die for you... and do what you want and deliver performance. THIS BOOK WORTH TO REREAD and REMEMBER.

IF THE EMPLOYEE sees you as a good BOSS, they will FOLLOW YOU !

Put People First: Prioritize team members' goals over your own to foster loyalty and engagement, creating a foundation for all other levers. [plans withing plans = understand how their goals,needs serve your mission but also their wellfare]

Connect with Your People: Build deep, authentic relationships through listening and empathy, strengthening trust and enabling effective coaching. [dont be likable, just like people and understand what they are good at]

Position People to Win: Support team success through training, resources, and clear goals, reinforcing trust and boosting performance. [they do what you suggest and win]

Build Trust: Act with consistency and integrity to create a stable environment, amplifying the impact of connection and empowerment.

Create Positive Emotional Experiences: Celebrate small wins and show kindness to foster loyalty, reinforcing all levers by making people feel valued. [understand their emotional points and then reward there]

OVERALL I think the model is simple, easy to remember and implement, and effective and sound based on my experience as employee.

THank you, worth the credit spent.

I've had many leaders in life coming from a sports background. Then becoming a warehouse manager for 20 years and now an entrepreneur in a financial field. I'm always striving to become the best leader I can be for my agency and this book definitely gave me more key points than any book I've read before! I've read it twice and will read it again in a few months to remind me of all the good qualities leaders have and the steps they take to develop their teams.
