Overview

A most provocative business parable for our troubled times, LeaderShift is the story of how David Mersher, the successful CEO of IndyTech, sets out to discover why the United States is losing its leadership edge and what he can do to turn things around and make America truly great again.

In the process, Mersher and his team learn how the Five Laws of Decline are eroding the nation's economy-quietly ruining businesses and big institutions-and what American executives and citizens need to do to put a stop to this.

Above all, Mersher and his colleagues discover something few business leaders or citizens of free nations have yet to realize: Our world today is on the verge of a momentous LeaderShift, one which will reframe the twenty-first century and significantly alter the way we govern, lead, and do business.

When Mersher and his team get help from a surprising source, the result is stunning and unexpected-and it's one that concerned Americans will certainly reflect upon for decades to come.

The next LeaderShift is almost here.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"Woodward and DeMille have outdone themselves. This book might just be the lever that the smartest people in America use to shift America back on course. Spread the word - the revolution is coming."

- Daniel R. Castro, award-winning author of Critical Choices that Change Lives.

"Orrin Woodward and Oliver DeMille offer a third way out. The old "left - right" arguments died with the Cold War. The spending that brought the Soviet Union to its knees is now about to sink the West. This book is a brilliant wake-up call."

- Doug Wead, former adviser to two American presidents, New York Times bestselling author.

"This book rises high above partisanship with real suggestions that are deep, thought provoking, and incredibly original. The Five Laws of Decline introduced in this book will make a significant contribution to the national discourse."

- Chris Brady coauthor NY Times bestseller Launching a Leadership Revolution

"This is probably one of the most important and powerful books written for the times we are in — as well as coming times. Orrin and Oliver have woven a story so compelling and so rich that it forces you to turn the next page. The underlying message with the 5 Laws are so brilliantly crafted that I do not use this word often- but this book is GENIUS."

- Doug Firebaugh, Co-Founder of Home Business Radio Network

"Whether a Republican, Democrat, Independent or Libertarian, if you are saddened by our country's declining abundance, real hope has arrived. It happens to be in the form of a story that just might be, to our time, what Thomas Paine's Common Sense was to his time."

- Bob Burg, coauthor of The Go-Giver

"Woodward and DeMille combine their knowledge of history, philosophy, science, systems thinking, economics, and government to explain the challenges facing America from the Five Laws of Decline. This non-political book explains how to fix the government gridlock and end the political "smoke and mirrors" so prominent in our society today."

- Tim Marks Best-selling Author of Voyage of a Viking

"I've been convinced for a long time that America's much-needed revival depends largely on entrepreneurs and business leaders; they have the most to lose from our national decline. In this thoroughly engaging read, Oliver DeMille makes this case with unprecedented depth and breadth. This is not typical whiny, partisan fluff. Oliver transcends party to articulate a compelling vision and detail a provocative and and realistic formula for restoring America's freedom and greatness. Responsible, freedom-loving citizens are hungry for solutions, and this instant classic is meat-and-potatoes freedom fare."

- Stephen Palmer, Founder of Life Manifestos & Author of Uncommon Sense: A Common Citizen's Guide to Rebuilding America

    This is a book for the ages! Orrin Woodward and Oliver DeMille have joined forces to create a masterpiece. Leadershift has identified the problem, helped me understand the problem and addresses the problem with real solutions. Leadershift offers fresh ideas that have been proven in business and verified in history. I attended a book signing at a Barnes  & Noble in Madison, WI last night. Almost 1,000 people attended and the store sold out, over 800 copies 1/2 hour before book signing even began. Get this book and join the revolution today!

    I just finished reading Leadershift, and I must say that Orrin Woodward and Oliver DeMille have produced an exceptional work here. If you are a Business Leader, Historian, Teacher, Mother, Father, Student, Democrat, Republican, or Independent you will without a doubt enjoy this book, and if at then end you don't feel compelled to become part of the 10% Leadershift you will absolutely be affected by it and want to grab a few copies to share with your friends. This is a book that you will find very difficult to put down, as the authors take you through this journey and you can't wait to see what happens next in each chapter from start to finish. I look forward to more from these authors.

    I got this book right after tax day, on April 16th, and I finish

    I got this book right after tax day, on April 16th, and I finished it in three days. I wasn't sure about the beginning, it started off perhaps a little campy, but within a few pages I was hooked, reading every word. The great thing was all the subtle leadership lessons throughout the book. Most intriguing to me was the observation on the connection between written and typed notes and how it relates to clarity of recollection and thinking.




    When Common Sense was written during the revolutionary period it was written in such simple (at the time) language that it was considered vulgar, like a children's tale. I've always felt that such a book needed to be written in today's world, but couldn't figure out how to write one. A parable is a great way to write such a book with broad appeal. Thank you Oliver and Orrin!

    Leadershift is a gift to this country, and our next generation of leaders. Orrin Woodward and Oliver DeMille have crafted a true work of literary genius. Words every citizen who wants to keep their freedoms will want to share. Democrat, Republican, Independent, or even "undecided" will find truth and inspiration within these pages.

We are part of the 10% Leadershift and bought multiple copies to help spread the Leadershift Revolution! Act know and join us in spreading Leadershift and keep America FREE and Great.

    This book will be an instant bestseller! I went to go pick it up and was amazed at how many people were in line to get a copy the day it was released. I know of several people who read it cover-to-cover the day it was released. I am looking forward to the leaders of this county to stand up and lead.

    Woodward and DeMille show an unparalleled synergy in their very first work together. Their insight of the problems we face today
     and the answers to solve them are uncanny and highly achievable. The authors paint a clear picture how we as Americans can link arms
    be they "red or blue",  to leave this place in far better shape for generations to follow!
