Leadership in 100 Days

This is much more than a book: It's your day-by-day success system. Leadership in 100 Days offers you the roadmap to power and impact, even and especially in uncertain times. Whatever goal you put your mind to (professional and personal), this easy-to-use toolkit will give you the capacity to achieve it.
“Very pragmatic self-study guide that with personal discipline provides a clear road map towards (increased) success.”
—Hans Toggweiler, CEO Americas, DHL

Of course there are no guarantees. “Life,” John Lennon quipped famously, “is what happens when you had other plans.” But thousands of Dr. Zweifel's clients and students (3,258 and counting, to be Swiss and precise)—not to mention himself—have utilized these tools to meet strategic imperatives and realize their dreams, in business and in life, for more than three decades.

”Leadership in 100 Days delivers what most leadership books don't: It gives you real access to leadership, day after day, brick by brick, on the job of making something happen. For any executive who needs to reboot his or her leadership, and for companies that need better leaders.”
—Hanspeter Mathis, Managing Director, Uvex Safety

What you'll learn along the 5 key conversations along the Global Leaders Pyramid®:

Level 1, Self-Leadership: Check your own assumptions, belief system, culture, blind-spots. Boost your power, freedom, peace of mind.

Level 2, Relationship: Learn how to build, deepen or rebuild relationships and trust.

Level 3, Vision: Free yourself from the past. End unfinished business. Build the future from the future.

Level 4, Strategy: Say No to off-purpose activities. Build an action-based and human-centric strategy.

Level 5, Action: Have decisive conversations for results. Learn how to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.

Using this system, teams reduced the overtime and budget creep for a satellite build from 100% overtime (and over budget) to 10%, saving millions. They killed the billing backlog in a law-firm, making millions. They grew retail sales by 11% while retail in the industry declined. And they saved $200 million by offshoring 5,000 knowledge workers while maintaining morale in a financial services giant.

Leaders have used Leadership in 100 Days to catalyze the achievement of their own dreams, from taking their company into eCommerce to launching a Brazilian restaurant in Harlem, from boosting innovation to building a prototype and bringing a product to market, from landing their dream job to creating a NGO in Benin, from building a Blockchain startup to bringing the Olympic Games to Jerusalem. (Well, this last one is frankly a bit of a long shot.)

"Use the Global Leader Pyramid® to gain clarity in the dynamics of communication. Think first, find where you are in the Pyramid, and drive your meetings, conversations and relationships to action and success!”
—Judd Maltin, Systems Principal Engineer, Dell

One student used the roadmap to build his own executive jet company. A few years later he called Dr. Zweifel to report back that his company was now on Inc. Magazine’s list of the 500 fastest-growing companies.

The purpose of Leadership in 100 Days is to give both experienced and emerging leaders a vehicle (that’s the original meaning of the word “coach” anyway; before there were automobiles, horse-drawn coaches brought people to their desired destinations) for self-paced, systematic self-coaching.

“Indeed a 'coach in a book' that confronts you with your own blindspots and charts a course you might not take on your own—the path of leadership. A huge return on investment.”
—Martin Naville, CEO, Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce
