About the Book



"Leadership strategies grounded in reality and focused on results. Recent polls show that 71% of workers think about quitting their jobs every day. That number would be shocking-if people actually were quitting. Worse, they go to work, punching time clocks and collecting pay checks, while completely checked out emotionally. In Reality-Based Leadership, expert Fast Company blogger Cy Wakeman reveals how to be the kind of leader who changes the way people think about and perceive their circumstances-one who deals with the facts, clarifies roles, gives clear and direct feedback, and insists that everyone do the same-without drama or defensiveness. Filled with dynamic examples, innovative tools, and diagnostic tests, this book shows you how to become a Reality-Based Leader, revealing how to: *Uncover destructive thought patterns with yourself and others *Diffuse drama and lead the person in front of you *Stop managing and start leading, empowering others to focus on facts and think for themselves *Equipped with a facts-based, confident approach, you will free yourself from the frustrations you face at work and transform yourself into a Reality-Based Leader, with the ability to liberate and inspire others."--



Book Synopsis



Leadership strategies grounded in reality and focused on results

Recent polls show that 70% of workers think about quitting their jobs every day. That number would be shocking--if people actually were quitting. Worse, they go to work, punching time clocks and collecting pay checks, while completely checked out emotionally.

In Reality-Based Leadership, bestselling author and leadership expert Cy Wakeman reveals how to be the kind of leader who changes the way people think about and perceive their circumstances. This no-nonsense guide shows you how to deal with the facts, give helpful and clear feedback to employees, and kindly help others focus their effort on their personal contribution, not the rampant workplace drama.

Filled with dynamic examples, innovative tools, and diagnostic tests, Reality-Based Leadership shows you how to become a Reality-Based Leader:

  • Uncover destructive thought patterns within yourself and others
  • Diffuse drama and lead the person in front of you
  • Empower others to focus on facts and think for themselves
  • Stop managing and start leading


If you're ready to lead more and manage chaos less, Reality-Based Leadership will empower you to do so!

Praise for Reality-Based Leadership

"One of the rare few outsanding business books...I loved it."
--LARRY WINGET, author, It's Called Work for a Reason!

--JOHN G. MILLER, author, QBQ! The Question Behind the Question and Outstanding!

"I haven't been so moved by a business thinker and visionary in years. Cy Wakeman's message has been heard before--that to truly succeed and grow, we have to check our egos at the door. But never has this counterintuitive insight been so compellingly argued as in this terrific book."

"Cy Wakeman is a brilliant storyteller and coach. She has a profound ability to tell a story that makes you laugh while at the same time cutting through your defenses to help you recognize your need to change. I have worked with Cy for years, and the lessons in this book have helped me create better organizations and a better me."
--JASON LAURITSEN, vice president, human resources, Union Bank and Trust Company

"You can't afford to lead your organization without this book in hand! Cy Wakeman writes with candor, humor, and unconventional wisdom about how we can be wildly successful."
--AMY DORN KOPELAN, president, Bedlam Entertainment Inc., and coauthor, I Didn't See It Coming!

"Cy Wakeman's book delivers a powerful message. The bottom line--this is required reading for all leaders!"
