Stifled: Where Good Leaders Go Wrong

by James G. Wetrich

Overview

Great leaders and managers are not about control. They inspire, enable, and get the hell out of the way.

A leader recognizes a person's potential—a great leader helps develop that potential to its fullest. Stifled explores the techniques of successful leaders and managers in detail, offering ideas and solutions to all the challenges facing today's organizations.

In the wake of a global pandemic, a blossoming worldwide social consciousness, and a titanic shift in how business is done, the major issues of leadership and management have morphed, intensified, and multiplied. From the management of millennials and zoomers, to diversity and inclusion, to the need for transparency, the new global workplace, and managing the quantum speed of business evolution, Stifled tackles them all.

Stifled is a must-read for anyone operating in today's exploding global economy.

Marshall Goldsmith - New York Times #1 bestselling author of Triggers, Mojo, and What Got You Here Wont Get You There

James Wetrich has written a counter-intuitive book: most business books try to tell us what we should be doing; this book shows us what we should STOP doing.  And there is much that falls under that heading and James Wetrich covers it all, using his long and storied career as a leader to underscore his philosophy. Read it and reap!

After this pandemic, we have a golden opportunity to implement some real change. I hope this book is embraced as the guide to do that. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout the entire book. You nailed it.

A candid and personal telling of what's ailing our organizations and most importantly, what we can do about it.

Very well written and full of great approaches to business. I particularly loved the chapter on meetings, as I am sure so many will. It is also timely for the world we live in now.
