Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), a global firm specializing in
organizational performance improvement, and HarperCollins
Leadership today announced the release of Master Mentors: 30
Transformative Insights From Our Greatest Minds, from Wall Street
Journal bestselling author Scott Jeffrey Miller. The new book has
recently been a #1 bestseller on Amazon, prior to its release
September 14, 2021. (Visit Franklin Covey’s Master Mentors to learn
more.)
Master Mentors features the best and brightest insights gleaned
from interviews with some of the most brilliant business minds and
thought leaders on FranklinCovey’s On Leadership with Scott Miller
podcast, the world’s largest and fastest-growing weekly leadership
podcast. Miller is the author and co-author of multiple
best-selling management books including Management Mess to
Leadership Success: 30 Challenges to Become the Leader You Would
Follow and Everyone Deserves a Great Manager: The 6 Critical
Practices for Leading a Team. In the book, he delivers 30 Master
Mentors, featuring illuminating lessons from celebrities, business
luminaries, bestselling authors, and other leading experts together
in one book. Each chapter highlights the principles, practices,
traits and strategies that make every insight from each mentor an
important part of this collection.
Released in advance of National Mentoring Day on October 27,
2021, Master Mentors underscores the need for more mentorship in
today’s workplace, particularly at a time when the changes
associated with remote work can make mentoring more
challenging.
A valuable resource for both management and individual
contributors, the book offers readers practical work and career and
life strategies through the indispensable lessons learned from
highly successful mentors. Included are luminaries such as Seth
Godin, Stephen M.R. Covey, Anne Chow, Stedman Graham, Liz Wiseman,
Susan Cain, Trent Shelton, and General Stanley McChrystal, who
challenge the reader’s mindset and beliefs, restore focus, and
validate the path towards greater empowerment. Readers will acquire
new career and life skills to help them be more successful in their
professional and personal lives, all while maximizing lessons
learned, by becoming mentors to others.
Miller, author of Master Mentors and host of FranklinCovey’s On
Leadership with Scott Miller podcast, said, “Reading each guest’s
books and then conducting an On Leadership podcast interview often
leaves me with a sense of awe and humility, because of all I learn
in the process. Selecting only 30 ‘Master Mentors’ for the book was
difficult, as there were so many profound, yet practical insights
offered by all of our guests. These 30 Mentors changed my life, and
they can change yours too, whether you’re a CEO, team leader,
manager or individual contributor. You’re invited to read this book
and apply one key insight per week at work or in your personal
life. And when you learn a valuable insight from a Master Mentor,
share it with someone else, both on National Mentoring Day, and
throughout the year.”
In Master Mentors, Miller captures the essence of his
interviewees, what resonated most in each interview, and the best
takeaway. The book features easily digestible, timely insights,
along with thought-provoking questions at the back of every chapter
for further self-reflection. Transformational wisdom from various
Master Mentors include the following, to name a few:
Karen Dillon – Deliberate vs. Emergent Strategies: I
learned that 93 percent of all organizations that achieve
“financial success” do so with an emergent strategy, not the
deliberate strategy that was originally implemented. The ability to
pivot is vital to success. Dillon is the former editor of the
Harvard Business Review and a co-author of the seminal book, How
Will You Measure Your Life.
Anne Chow – What’s Your Motive: Oftentimes what seems
like innocuous questions about other people’s heritage,
nationality, race, religion, ethnicity and education serve as
inhibitors rather than accelerators in interpersonal trust.
Understanding your own motive is vital to building trust with
others. Chow is the CEO of AT&T Business, has been named by
Fortune as one of the most powerful women in business, and is the
co-author of the bestselling book, A Leader’s Guide to Unconscious
Bias.
Kim Scott – Radical Candor: The most impactful gift any
leader can offer members of their team is having high courage
conversations about a person’s blind spots that balance both
courage with consideration. This requires many of us to move
outside of our natural comfort zone and often practice “straight
talk” and discuss the undiscussables. Scott is a former Silicon
Valley executive and the author of the bestselling books Radical
Candor and Just Work.
Liz Wiseman – Be a Multiplier and Not a Diminisher: When
a leader employs the effective mindset that their job is to achieve
results with and through other people, they come to realize that
instead of being the genius in the room, their key contribution is
to be the genius maker of others. This is achieved by demonstrating
an often-unnatural level of self-awareness to identify when you are
accidentally diminishing others so that you can instead create more
multiplying moments. Wiseman is a renowned keynote speaker and
leadership expert and the author of the bestselling book,
Multipliers and a forthcoming book, Impact Players.
Todd Davis – The Power of Relationships: Contrary to the
oft repeated human resource adage that people are an organization’s
most valuable asset, it’s actually not true. People aren’t an
organization’s most valuable asset. Nor is their supply chain,
brand, distributions, products, pricing, patents, trademarks, or
other perceived assets. It’s the relationships between the people
that is every organization’s ultimate competitive advantage. The
relationships between the people, and their leaders, create your
culture. And your culture cannot be replicated or stolen from you,
unlike everything else. Davis is a multi-bestselling author and
serves as FranklinCovey’s Chief People Officer.
Whitney Johnson – Disrupt Yourself: Although horrifying
and sobering, the adage, “You’re never in the room when your career
is decided for you,” is absolutely accurate. The most enduring
careers are those that are deliberately owned by individuals
themselves, and they demonstrate a level of fearlessness and
courage to self-disrupt proactively before they are inevitably
disrupted by others. In short, “act or be acted upon.” Johnson has
been named as one of the Top Global 100 Coaches and is the
bestselling author of Build an A Team and Disrupt Yourself.
Michele Jessica Fievre – Balancing Efficiency with
Effectiveness: Although frequently used interchangeably,
efficiency and effectiveness have vastly different impacts in every
aspect of our lives. One is not better than the other. They simply
need to be used in different settings. Highly effective people
recognize when to be efficient (processes, social media, some
meetings, email, washing the car, mowing the lawn, etc.) and when
to be effective (in every situation that involves building trust
with others or any high-stakes interpersonal situation) with
colleagues, direct reports, family members, and friends. Fievre is
a multi-bestselling author and a senior acquisitions editor for
Mango Publishing, the nation’s fastest-growing independent book
publisher.
“Each insight is worthy of deeper dive and further engagement
with the Master Mentor behind it,” said Miller. “Choose one, work
to incorporate it into your life and you’ll find it’ll yield
demonstrably positive results. Which insight tugs at you as the
potential solution to a stifling weakness, or which ignites your
creativity and drives you to do something different? If adopted,
could it elevate a dormant strength into a powerful force working
on your behalf? Use this book to experience similarly profound
insights that have had a powerful effect in my life. I may not have
truly mastered any of them, but they rise as a North Star toward
which I can diligently navigate. May these insights do the same for
you and those you mentor.”
