In this fascinating new book, entrepreneur and business consultant Eric Douglas draws on his work with large and small corporations, public agencies, and nonprofit organizations to share a powerful equation:
The equation boils down a simple but profound truth: highly effective leaders focus on building trust and generating innovation (spark). In The Leadership Equation, Douglas expands the equation into a Grand Theory of Organizational Excellence, consisting of five trust practices and five spark practices.

Practice #1: Align the Core Values
Practice #2: Sharpen the Focus
Practice #3: Lead Through Others
Practice #4: Manage Decisions Well
Practice #5: Start With Yourself
Practice #6: Accelerate the Pace of Change
Practice #7: Stimulate Creative Flow
Practice #8: Spread Systems Thinking
Practice #9: Multiply the Communication
Practice #10: Ask Powerful Questions
As the author shares these practices, he reveals both the fundamental systems at work in high-performing companies and the specific day-to-day things that 21st-century leaders must do to sustain high levels of success. As Douglas clearly shows, when trust and spark combine in the leadership equation, leaders improve the performance of their team, their business unit, and the entire organization and, ultimately, reach their own full potential.
