Why Sustained Leadership WBS Exists
Literally thousands of books are published every year on the subject of leadership. People are extremely hungry for insight and guidance on how to improve themselves as leaders. Sadly, the vast majority of those in leadership positions do not provide good examples of sustained leadership. Some fatal flaw derails their leadership journey and disqualifies them, for a time or forever, from serving as a sustained leader. Of the many resources available, some are useful, but all are very incomplete. Sustained Leadership WBS is the first comprehensive guide that gives the reader 229 elements of leadership, with a proper lexicon for each of the elements, and provides the reader with resources, guidance, and a plan to improve their leadership abilities. It is, as one reviewer has said, destined to become the “global standard in leadership development.”

Bravo to Tom Reid for producing a useful textbook on leadership!” – Dr. David Stameshkin, Associate Dean (retired) Franklin & Marshall College
“Sustained Leadership WBS is a scholarly, but easy to read treatment of various leadership principles and philosophies.

Well done.” – Len Vincent RADM USN (RET), Formerly Commander, Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC) and Commandant, Defense Systems Management College (DSMC)

ANNOUNCING THE
“GLOBAL STANDARD IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT”
Sustained Leadership WBS
Contained in these pages and in a downloadable guide are the quotes, excerpts, pictures, information, and details on the book and author that provide all media creators the information to best present the concepts and ideals behind sustained leadership. Too often people are put into leadership positions without sufficient prior development. This reflects both flawed leadership development and leadership selection processes. Too many will be insufficiently developed to sustain their leadership role and will succumb to a fatal flaw. We see them fail every day – in business, in politics, and yes, even in religions. The simple goal behind Sustained Leadership WBS is to stop this terrible waste of valuable talent. Leadership is difficult and complex; without proper development, many placed in leadership positions will needlessly fail beneath the burden of leadership.By using the project management Work Breakdown Structure tool, every element required to build yourself or your team into effective leaders is defined and explained with a complete development plan for any individual to become a sustained leader.
