Editorial Reviews

The commercial world is increasingly complex and the demands placed on executive teams are more challenging than ever. What most leaders need now, is a clear framework for strategic and tactical success. Leaders need to futureproof their business, by futureproofing themselves. This book gives leaders across the whole commercial spectrum: from small to large, from simple to complex, from new to old, a clear daily leadership guide—a clear and powerful daily leadership template to follow. If you are a leader, or if you have aspirations to be the best leader that you can possibly be, I urge you to read this book—your future you (and your future team) will thank you for it.

Denise Kee

Every leader has a clear responsibility: the responsibility to maximize their own personal leadership potential, and to become the best leader that they can possibly be. This highly-interactive, engaging, and inspirational book is long overdue and the exercises in it give the reader a clear step-by-step roadmap to extraordinary leadership and business development. Leaders are lifelong learners, and leaders are readers. I urge leaders everywhere to read and learn the lessons of this new book and to establish the daily habits of leadership and business success.

Bruce Hanson

This latest book from Antonio is jam-packed with wonderful new tools and techniques designed to help every leader quickly reach the next level of their development no matter the size and complexity of the organization. This book gives the reader a clear and structured leadership development framework to follow, and the various examples of leadership insight are worth the cover price alone. If you’re a leader who cares about self-development and making a really positive impact, this book is definitely for you.

Tracy Hernandez

I was particularly struck by the words in Antonio’s new book, ‘If any leader tells you that they are serious about developing themselves, their team, and their company—but they don’t journal, don’t believe them.’ To change results, you first have to change yourself. That’s why I believe that many more leaders would journal, if they knew what to write, when to write, how much to write, and had a clear development path to follow: this book gives us leaders exactly that. If you are serious about building yourself, your team, and your organization, My Daily Leadership is the missing piece.”

Mark Crisp

Anything of any real value takes focus, effort, and intentionality—especially leadership. And that’s why I am delighted to recommend Antonio’s latest book to any leader who wants to take a more thoughtful and considered approach to developing themselves and those around them. I am confident that this book will become a regular and trusted point of reference for those looking for a daily guide to help them develop leadership insight and ongoing growth and inspiration. This book is more than a ‘must read,’ it’s a ‘must do.’

Cromwell Littlejohn

Leadership development is extremely important to me and my organization, and that’s why My Daily Leadership is such an important book. The very best leaders are on a journey of self-improvement—and that journey requires daily focus and attention. Antonio’s book is a roadmap, a daily reference, and guide for those leaders serious about improving the performance of themselves, their teams, and their business. At its heart, My Daily Leadership is written for those wanting to develop winning daily habits of self-evaluation and leadership excellence.
