No-Compromise Leadership: A Higher Standard of Leadership, Thinking and Behavior
A number of years ago, I began using the term no compromise in my lectures, consulting work and writing I used it to communicate, without question or misinterpretation, a leadership style that is resolute in its commitment to consistency, accountability and integrity. It seemed the more I used no compromise, the more it seemed to strike a deep and resonating cord in business leaders. I heard stories about leadership team and staff meetings targeting key issues with no-compromise as the non-negotiable outcome. Business owners and managers would tell me how no-compromise thinking helped them decisively deal with difficult situations, problem employees or tasks they previously avoided. Today, barely a day passes without receiving a no-compromise story or reference to how it impacted a customer s personal thinking and business. Joined together, these two simple words immediately establish a higher standard of leadership thinking and behavior. Think of no compromise as a powerful internal compass that keeps you and your company steadfastly on course. In his latest book, The Success Principles: How To Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, Jack Canfield talks about a concept he calls, 99 percent is a bitch, 100 percent is a breeze. In an interview with Strategies, Canfield explained, that he brushed his teeth every day; that was a 100 percent commitment to dental health. He didn't have to think about it. It s a done deal. If I commit 99 percent, almost every day I have to re-decide. If you commit to answering your phone calls within 24 hours, don t go to bed without doing it. 100 percent commitment, that s the essence of no-compromise leadership. No-compromise leadership is all about the thinking, behavior and accountability that support all leadership results and business outcomes. By design, no compromise cuts through the myriad excuses, emotional blockages and procrastination that silently infect leadership performance. If no compromise becomes the mandate the guiding principle upon which all other leadership behavior emanates the resulting business outcomes will be nothing short of breakthrough. Foreword by John Harms, president of Harms Software No-Compromise Leadership is simply one of the most significant books I've read. It resets the leadership bar for anyone in business from the start-up entrepreneur to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. In my 20+ years building a successful software and education company, I've stayed true to my principles and led my company from being unknown and in debt to the #1 software company in the $80 billion Beauty and Wellness industries. How did I accomplish that? By being a doer and creating a culture of action and execution. Sounds simple, right? You d be surprised how many companies just don t react fast enough and charge forward. Internal compromise and fear to act can paralyze a leader, causing drag, drama, money and missed opportunities. When Neil first sent me the draft of No-Compromise Leadership, the title alone resonated with me. I couldn't wait to dive in and see what literary journey it would take me on. What a journey it was. By the time I finished the introduction and first chapter, I knew Neil hit a home run. I didn't stop reading until 3:00 am and I had a company to run in just a few hours. No compromise is exactly what the culmination of my career and experience has taught me. It s what the great leaders in history from Martin Luther King, Jr. (political/social perspective) to Jack Welch (management/business perspective) have all understood. Open your mind and your heart for what you are about to read. No-Compromise Leadership takes you from understanding no compromise, to living no compromise, and finally to creating a no-compromise culture that shapes the collective thinking and behavior of your entire company..

Conviction Without Compromise: Standing Strong in the Core Beliefs of the Christian Faith
Ever wondered about how to talk with believers who disagree with your beliefs without compromising sound doctrine? In this remarkably clear presentation, Norman Geisler, one of the nation’s leading apologetics experts, teams with Reasoning from the Scriptures president Ron Rhodes to explore the well–known saying “In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” Beginning with essential doctrines such as the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture, Christ’s deity, and 14 others, Conviction without Compromise provides solid scriptural defenses while showing how various movements have moved away from historic, biblical Christianity. Then the authors show why Christians can disagree agreeably about more than a dozen important but nonessential beliefs such as the nature of spiritual gifts, the role of women in the church, and the nature of sacraments. Finally, the section on charity highlights some “rules of engagement” and explores lessons learned from church history. A must–read for Christians who care about sharing their faith. .
