SILVER MEDAL WINNER of The Nonfiction Authors Association award 2025
"Let's Go! How Great Leaders Shape the Future is an inspiring and practical guide for anyone
looking to refine their leadership skills and drive meaningful change." -- Nonfiction Book Awards
Ever noticed how leadership theories can disintegrate in the face of real-world challenges? That's frustrating, whether you're a busy executive or a developing leader.
On the other hand, purely reactive problem-solving is like bailing water from a ship without ever patching the leaks. With no reflection, no structure, no guiding vision, your temporary fixes won't last, and soon you're bailing water again.
Author Jamie Ramsden has thrived in the leadership world as a successful executive, an elite coach, and an academic. Let's Go! lays out his own powerful leadership framework, which merges hands-on business knowledge with profound insights into human motivations.
The effective leader is a role model, a community builder, a sense maker, and a future shaper. In this inspirational book, Jamie blends theory and practical application to show you how to excel in each of these four leadership roles--and bring your team, your family, and your whole community along for the ride.
Let's Go! empowers executives and leaders to elevate their game, better understand themselves and their world, and live to their fullest potential--not for a few months or even a few years, but forever.
