“Brian’s book inspires both successful individuals and future entrepreneurs, urging them to embrace challenges and pursue growth.”
– Wolfgang Puck
Employees that don’t take ownership of their workFriction between departmentsInconsistent results
These are the top challenges that face most businesses today.
These common issues create high turnover and force managers into crisis mode where they’re consumed putting out daily fires. Over time, the very nature of the business changes and a new culture emerges; one shaped by the lowest level of acceptable behavior.
Beyond the Hammer approaches these concerns in two highly engaging sections: First, a fictional story of George, a business owner struggling with burnt out employees, high turnover, and frustrated customers. Readers follow George as he discovers five foundational pillars of leadership that have the power to build teams that perform at a high level, consistently.
The second section shifts from storytelling to strategy, providing an actionable path to weaving these 5 pillars into any business, enabling leaders to integrate these principles into their daily operations seamlessly.
Written for managers and leaders alike, Beyond the Hammer offers a simple yet powerful approach to creating a team where everyone is aligned, and properly positioned to win.
From the Publisher
Brian Gottlieb, from the introduction of Beyond the Hammer
“Having started, scaled, and eventually sold several successful businesses in the home services industry, and employed nearly one thousand individuals, I’m all too familiar with the complexity and importance of creating high-performing teams. Alignment doesn’t simply make a difference, but it’s the difference-maker.
This book will help you rethink the role of a leader, the responsibilities of managers, the potential of a team, and the value of an aligned culture.”
