Liftoff: An Astronaut Commander's Countdown For Purpose Powered Leadership
by Rick Searfoss
As a leader in the dynamic, stressful, and sometimes dangerous endeavor of human space exploration, astronaut Rick Searfoss has had many unique experiences. However, the success principles he applied in commanding the most complex and successful human space research mission ever are universal. They apply to any venture.

The inspiration for "Liftoff" came when Colonel Searfoss met Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, who counseled, "You've got over twenty-five years of experience in what American businesses need more than anything else: leadership and teamwork. Share it." Since then, Colonel Searfoss has done just that, as a noted leadership speaker and consultant.

"Liftoff" shares the keen insights of an astronaut commander leading the way. It will enable you to:

  • Employ a proven, balanced-leadership model in support of a greater purpose.

  • Drive stellar operational results with a comprehensive, objective-centric execution system.

  • Apply a countdown of twelve purposeful performance principles for outstanding outcomes.

  • Strengthen your ability to lead and perform at the front lines to achieve mission success.
The author also shares a myriad of thrilling, inspiring, and relevant stories, told from the extraordinary perspective of one of a mere handful of humans who've ever been in space. Should you launch your leadership to the highest level possible? Absolutely, so let's "light this candle" and lift off to success!

I'll be interested to read reviews of this book as I'm unlikely to buy a copy without an endorsement from someone who likes space stuff...

I've never been a big fan of 'leadership' books because they go to such lofty concepts, they rarely have any bearing on what you have going on.

Worse still, some upper management types have their mid-level management read so many of them that the lessons are lost right away, just like learning only what's going to be on the test and forgetting it right afterward.
