About this listen

The successful self-published author of The Sales Leaders Playbook writes his first mainstream leadership book.

There are enormous differences between managing and coaching. Yet many companies and organizations encourage their leaders to coach teams without ever teaching them how and without creating a culture that supports coaching.

Nathan Jamail, a leading consultant, professional speaker, and the president of his own group of businesses, trains coaches at several Fortune 500 companies and learned that it takes not only different skills to achieve success, but a truly effective coach needs an organizational culture that creates and multiplies the success of every motivated team member. The Leadership Playbook shows leaders the skills necessary to be an effective coach and to build effective teams by:

  • Fostering employees' belief in the culture of a company
  • Resolving issues proactively rather than reactively and creating an involvement that constantly pushes employees to be their best
  • Focusing on the more humane principles of leadership - gratitude, positivity, and recognition - that keep morale high
  • Holding teams and individuals accountable
  • Constantly recruiting talent ("building the bench") rather than filling positions only when they are empty.

Combining research, interviews, and inspiring stories with the lessons that have earned Jamail the respect of the world's foremost corporations including CISCO, FedEx, Sprint, the U.S. Army, and State Farm, The Leadership Playbook will dominate the category for years to come.

Critic reviews

"Nathan’s passion and attitude are contagious! His ability to engage an audience and compel them to take action is truly impressive. If you are considering investing in your people, Nathan will deliver the value and execute beyond your expectations. We plan on forging a long-term relationship with Nathan and his team." (Joe Lohmeier, Cisco)

"Enjoyed is an understatement. He was phenomenal!! I heard comments from seasoned folks that he is the best they have ever heard! He did such a great job of personalizing his presentation to our group. He took the time to learn our organization, our acronyms (we have a ton), meet some of our people and incorporated that into his presentation. He even wrote lyrics to a little song using our acronyms that was hysterical…I would highly recommend him!" (Jeanne Osterland, US Healthworks)

"Nathan is a high energy individual and it makes the message more believable when you can see that this guy knows how to be successful. Nathan took a lot of time to learn about our organization and tailor his remarks for our benefit. I would certainly recommend him to any group with new or experienced managers." (Marvin Mutchler, president/CEO, First Savings Bank)

There’s a lot of good information and guidelines here. My favorite concept was probably the story about his daughter cleaning their toilets. She did it with the intention of getting it done (checking the box) instead of doing it to achieve a goal with substance. I also think it’s important not to avoid conflict. Don’t be afraid of getting fired, but don’t try to get fired either.

Annoyingly correct

Fantastic practices that are easily implemented into my business to help my team succeed and make more money.

Great listen with awesome ideas
