Doing What Matters, was my first and written as business fable. When I discuss the book with readers at conferences, I am often asked elaborate on some of the practices outlined in the book. This monograph by contrast is an instructional guide on how to implement these practices using an Executive’s Playbook.

The playbook was developed over 30 years of conscious practice and continues to evolve with input from some of the most effective executives, mentors and executive coaches. Their inputs have been adapted and honed into a set of key practices that comprise this playbook. I have shared the playbook with over a hundred leaders – newly minted and veterans alike. The instructional guide will also include a template and audio instructions helping readers create their first playbook. Look for distribution of the book, templates and audio guide by yearend.
