The Model for Sustained Leadership Success 


In this compelling book on leadership, Philip A.

While groundbreaking advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, machine learning, and robotics continue to enhance a team's productivity and efficiency, Leadership Excellence emphasizes that a team’s long-term success continues to hinge on one constant: effective leadership.  


Drawing from a wide range of literature, research, and leadership practices in business, education, government, the military, and multinational sectors, Iannuzzi introduces The Model for Sustained Leadership Excellence. This comprehensive and integrated framework highlights the core values, enabling attributes, and unifying forces that inform and shape a leader’s decisions, communication, and actions—the instruments of leadership. The model underscores the pivotal role these instruments play in generating the motivation, influence, and inspiration needed to sustain a team’s long-term success. A multi-part implementation strategy provides a path for leaders to operationalize the model’s principles.    


Whether leading a small or large business, multinational team, government agency, educational organization, nonprofit, military unit, or any other team, this book empowers leaders to sustain their success over the long term.
