Stankiewicz P: The Uncommon Leader

The Uncommon Leader

A CEO's Guide to Building Uncommon Legacy

Written by two experts who have dedicated their careers to quality improvement, Escape the Improvement Trap: Five Ingredients Missing in Most Improvement Recipes separates itself from other improvement books by looking at why most companies rarely achieve anything more than an average level of improvement maturity. They identify five critical ingredients required for successful improvement: 1. A meaningful business value proposition and strategy that drives key improvement actions2. An engaging environment where people can do their best work3. A focus on meaningful metrics while avoiding irrelevant details4. Process improvement efforts that maximize cross-functional process performance and foster deeper process understanding, innovation, and execution of best work practices5. An executive mindset that focuses on customer value, people development, process performance, and business improvement outcomes, not solely on savings The authors consider a variety of situations at Independence Enterprise, a fictional company, based on their own very real experiences. They elaborate on the principles that should come into play, look at what Independence Enterprise is doing right and wrong, and suggest deployment actions to help you apply the principles to your own organization.

66 Days to Strategic Thinking is a practical leadership journal designed to help professionals develop one of the most important capabilities for modern leadership: the discipline of strategic thinking.

In today's fast-paced organizations, leaders are often rewarded for speed, responsiveness, and constant activity. Yet the challenges that truly shape organizations rarely yield to quick answers. They require leaders who can pause, recognize patterns, anticipate consequences, and align decisions with long-term outcomes.

Grounded in leadership practice and habit-formation research, 66 Days to Strategic Thinking provides a structured 66-day journey designed to help leaders build the habit of thinking more strategically in the midst of everyday responsibilities. Through short daily prompts, reflection exercises, and weekly "Pause &amp; Reflect" checkpoints, readers develop the mental discipline to step back from urgency and approach complex situations with greater clarity and perspective.

Throughout the journey, readers will strengthen their ability to scan the horizon for emerging trends, ask better strategic questions, recognize patterns, evaluate trade-offs, and communicate insights that influence decisions. The format requires only a few minutes each day while reinforcing a consistent rhythm of reflection, learning, and action.

Ideal for executives, managers, and emerging leaders, this journal offers a practical approach to developing a more intentional leadership mindset. Whether used independently, alongside executive coaching, or within leadership development programs, 66 Days to Strategic Thinking helps readers move beyond reactive decision-making and cultivate the habits of leaders who think ahead, connect ideas, and lead with clarity.

Because leadership effectiveness is shaped not only by what leaders do-but by how they think.

66 Days to Strategic Thinking

What keeps capable leaders from having the impact they know they are capable of?

Often, the greatest obstacles aren't external. They are the unconscious fears, defensive habits, and reactive patterns that surface when the pressure rises, quietly undermining confidence, judgment, relationships, and influence.

The Enlightened Edge for Leaders: Ignite the Power of You offers a practical framework for recognizing and transforming those patterns so you can lead with greater clarity, confidence, presence, and integrity.

Executive coach and organization consultant Barbara Bouchet introduces two powerful dimensions of leadership: the Limited You, which becomes guarded, reactive, and constricted under pressure, and the Essential You, which is grounded, expansive, relational, and connected to your deepest strengths. By learning to recognize the difference-and make the shift between them-you can stop being driven by old insecurities and become more deliberate about how you use your power.

Through practical exercises, real-world leadership examples, and original models developed through decades of work with executives and professionals, you'll learn how to:Recognize the triggers and reactive patterns that limit your effectiveness
Replace defensive responses with powerful relational alternatives
Work creatively with tension rather than avoiding or escalating it
Receive feedback and recover gracefully from mistakes
Handle difficult relationships and challenging conversations with greater skill
Increase your visibility, influence, and leadership presence
Communicate a compelling vision while staying grounded in integrity





Leadership begins with the ability to lead yourself. The Enlightened Edge for Leaders gives executives, managers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and emerging leaders a roadmap for doing the inner work that makes stronger leadership possible-so that when the heat is on, you can bring out the best in yourself and the best in others.

Foundational Tools for Inspiring and Enabling Your New Team

First-Time Leader

What if the best leadership playbook was written not in boardrooms-but in Italian vineyards? 

UNCORKED: Leadership Lessons from the Italian Vineyard explores how leaders preserve what matters, adapt under pressure and lead for what endures. Drawing on two thousand years of Italian viticulture, Jason Harfield uses the vineyard as a disciplined lens for understanding leadership in complex environments. 

Across centuries, Italian winemakers have faced collapse, regulation, reinvention, reputation, succession, climate pressure and the constant challenge of growth without losing identity. Their stories reveal patterns that feel strikingly familiar to modern leaders: systems under pressure, tradition challenged by disruption, culture shaping whether change takes hold, and reputation depending on substance rather than image. 

From the rise and fall of Roman Falernum to the bold innovators of Toscana, from monastic stewardship to the Super Tuscan revolution, UNCORKED offers twelve leadership lessons on judgement, timing, transformation, culture, legacy and long-term value. This is not a wine book. It is a leadership book seen through the lens of Italian viticulture. 

Written for CEOs, board directors, executives, advisors and leaders navigating uncertainty, UNCORKED offers a refined and practical perspective on the work of leadership: making trade-offs under pressure, protecting what matters, adapting with integrity and sustaining performance without losing purpose.

Because the leaders who endure, like the finest wines, are not rushed. They are shaped by their environment and refined over time.

How to Survive and Thrive in Crisis

66 Days to Strategic Thinking
By Pamela J. Green
In today's fast-moving organizations, leaders are often rewarded for speed, decisiveness, and execution. Yet many of the most important leadership challenges cannot be solved through quick answers or operational efficiency. They require something deeper: the ability to pause, discern patterns, clarify the real problem, and make disciplined strategic choices.

66 Days to Strategic Thinking is a practical leadership guide designed to help professionals build the habit of strategic thinking amid everyday leadership responsibilities.

Grounded in leadership research and habit-formation science, this book provides a structured 66-day journey that strengthens a leader's ability to step back from constant activity and engage in more thoughtful, strategic decision-making. Through guided reflection, leadership insights, and practical prompts, readers learn how to develop the thinking discipline required to navigate complex challenges, competing priorities, and organizational uncertainty.

Rather than focusing only on tactics or leadership theory, 66 Days to Strategic Thinking helps readers cultivate a new leadership practice-one that integrates reflection, insight, and disciplined action.

Throughout the book, readers will:Strengthen their ability to pause and think before reacting to challenges
Improve their capacity to discern patterns, relationships, and root causes
Develop greater clarity in decision-making and leadership priorities
Build the habit of aligning daily actions with long-term strategic outcomes
Learn practical ways to apply strategic thinking to real workplace situations



The 66-day format is intentionally designed to support the development of a new cognitive habit. Research on habit formation suggests that sustained repetition over time helps individuals internalize new behaviors. By engaging with short daily reflections and prompts, leaders gradually strengthen their ability to approach challenges with greater perspective and strategic awareness.

This book is ideal for:Executives and senior leaders
Emerging leaders preparing for greater responsibility
Managers navigating complex organizational environments
Professionals seeking to strengthen their strategic mindset



Whether used independently, as part of a leadership development program, or alongside executive coaching, 66 Days to Strategic Thinking provides a powerful framework for leaders who want to move beyond reactive decision-making and cultivate the discipline of strategic thought.

Because leadership effectiveness is not determined solely by what leaders do, it is shaped by how they think.

Pause. Think. Grow. Strategically

Wherever we are in the quality movement, there is more to discover--to explore. Today, quality serves business as a way of increasing profits. That is one end of a spectrum. Tomorrow, quality takes business into the rest of the spectrum. In this new dimension, business learns to serve, and be served, from a foundation of unconditional love. At the other end of the spectrum is quality's far-reaching goal--the attainment of harmony between people and the entire cosmos. This goal reveals the gap, and steps, between it and what we do today. This book is intended for explorers and pioneers. It is not for those who are comfortable in today's paradigms. It is for those who search and yearn for new ways bring heart into the world of business and society. It is not for those who are comfortable living an unexamined and changeless life. It is for those who sense a thrill in the heart with the changes of each new day.Experience, not dry learning, is the heart of this book. For this reason, "Practical Exercises" are included in most of the chapters. They are experiences of things that can be known, but not told or taught. Without the exercises, your knowing will be superficial. With them, you can enter into dimensions unknown to you today.Michael W. Munn, Ph.D., heads the Gaia Center for Quality in Palo Alto, California. He provides keynotes, experiential change seminars, and business quality workshops. Strategic planning, executive development, proposal, and reengineering efforts are among the topics of his workshops.
