He now brings his speaking, consulting, and business knowledge to readers with \u003ci\u003e1% Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e--based on the reality that real-world leadership is messy and complicated; it rarely fits into an acronym or a dogmatic overarching philosophy. Ellis says that there are no \"irrefutable laws\" of leadership or power; there is no secret. As a result, \u003ci\u003e1% Leadership \u003c\/i\u003edoes not provide one path to leadership--it provides dozens of practical lessons that anyone, at any stage of their career, can use continuously make tiny \"1% at a time\" improvements. \u003ci\u003e1% Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e is a handy guidebook that business readers can regularly apply to identify blind spots, boost morale (both personal and among teams and organizations), and solve problems at work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Readers can spend a few minutes each Monday morning to focus on one lesson for their leadership development--perhaps that lesson only improves their performance by 1%; but it's those accumulated 1% improvements that separate the best leaders from everyone else. Lessons include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTo engage in the present, be of two minds about the future.\u003c\/b\u003e Worrying about failure will make success even more unlikely.
