The Good Will Leader
by Peter C. DeMarco

Coming 2022

The Good Will Leader provides a robust, comprehensive framework for defining and addressing leadership. The lack of a precise understanding of the nature of leadership has allowed miscommunication, distortions and disturbances in the exercise of authority and leadership.

This book helps leaders to:

  1. connect with Good Will, the currency of leadership,
  2. discover qualities essential to exchanging this currency,
  3. build up their own Good Will accounts, and
  4. secure authentic Good Will for themselves and their organizations.

Priority Thinking
by Peter C. DeMarco

To Be Determined

Our research indicates that sound priorities are critical for activating employee potential and maximizing organizational effectiveness and ethics. Priority Thinking helps leaders, employees and teams to recognize, learn, practice and keep sound priorities by, among other things:

  • Using proper priority sequences to activate potential by more effectively aligning the parts to the whole of the organization;
  • Recognizing and respecting three levels of priorities: (1) Tactical, or day-to-day; (2) Strategic, or towards the leader’s chosen vision; (3) Core, or those defined by nature;
  • Learning to identify and deal effectively with four types of prioritizers: Inverters, Absolutists, Depleters, and Optimizers.
