Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated talk radio host Dave Ramsey comes the secret to how he grew a multimillion dollar company from a card table in his living room.

Your company is only as strong as your leaders. These are the men and women doing battle daily beneath the banner that is your brand. Are they courageous or indecisive? Are they serving a motivated team or managing employees? Are they valued?

Your team will never grow beyond you, so here’s another question to consider. Are you growing? Whether you’re sitting at the CEO’s desk, the middle manager’s cubicle, or a card table in your living-room-based startup, EntreLeadership provides the practical, step-by-step guidance to grow your business where you want it to go. Dave opens up his championship playbook for business to show you how to:

• Inspire your team to take ownership and love what they do

• Unify your team and get rid of all gossip

• Handle money to set your business up for success

• Reach every goal you set

• And much, much more!

"Do you know why must companies aren't loyal to their company and leadership? Because their company and leadership aren't loyal to them. This statement is so true because I've worked for a company and CEO that once used all the principles talked about in this book. Now it's totally the opposite and I couldn't be more disgusted with it. Dave's book is great for anyone wanting to start a business to a manager wanting to improve his teams performance to a current CEO looking for advice."

Quotes

  • “A business cannot have true success without also having a soul. In this book Dave shows us how to have both: great leaders who are also great people; great companies that are also great families…Dave has figured out the recipe to being both things at once, and his lessons are invaluable.” 

    — Glenn Beck
  • “Full of excellent anecdotes and practical tips on entrepreneurship, hirings and firings, and leadership at its best. This book is quintessentially Ramsay.” 

    — Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
  • “Dave Ramsey has taken commonsense leadership principles and made them uncommonly practical, useful, and life changing…His advice is not a bunch of leadership froufrou fluff, but [is] solid and substantive.” 

    — Mike Huckabee, former governor, FOX News host
  • “Ramsey shoots business leadership advice straight from the hip in a substantive title refreshingly devoid of theory…Decent advice for small-business entrepreneurs.”

    " A good book on what works and what does not work in terms of successful leadership. How to build teams, build a company, and succeed is something that is lacking in today's corporate culture. And even though this book is geared to entrepreneurship, the principles apply to any team. Sadly most of the teams and "leaders" that I have worked with in industry have been sorely lacking in the principles and skills Dave Ramsey presents in this book. "
