Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Team and Business

Kevin Kruse knows two things about leadership that most people do not believe:

First, leadership is a superpower.
Second, almost everything we’ve been taught about leadership is wrong.

In Great Leaders Have No Rules, New York Times bestselling author and highly successful entrepreneur Kevin Kruse debunks popular wisdom with ten contrarian principles for better, faster, easier leadership. Grounded in solid research and three decades of entrepreneurial experience, this book has one purpose: to teach you how to be both the boss everyone wants to work for and the high achiever every CEO wants to hire--all without drama, stress, or endless hours in the office

Inspired by Kruse’s viral article ＂Why Successful Leaders Don’t Have an Open Door Policy,＂ this contrarian approach to leadership reveals why you should throw out the rulebook and instead play favorites, crowd your calendar, tell employees everything (even salaries), stay out of meetings, hide your phone, and more. Kruse makes the case for these principles with engaging real-world stories and case studies, and shows how to use this wisdom to buck the trend and become more effective. He also shares applications beyond the office--at home, in sales, in sports, and more. Ultimately, his advice empowers you to focus on what matters, which is the key to success for you, your employees, and your company.
