It's been a minute since my last book review but I felt this one was necessary."Lead Yourself First" by Mike Erwin and Judge Kethledge is an absolute beast. Read it! It's a one stop shop for those looking to better understand their own leadership status and more importantly, their own ultimate leadership potential.Like many leadership books, LYF covers leadership "for others" by discussing self. Of course, if you're a mess, how can you expect to lead others? Self care is important- so important that it really never ends. So how do we do this? The authors make their case by both analyzing in great detail the lives of historical leaders as well as interviewing dozens of everyday leaders alive today. This blend makes the read educational, entertaining, relevant and inspiring. LYF answers the question, "how then shall we lead?", by breaking leadership self-care into 4 important sections. I call them "clarity", "the unseen", "balance" and "courage".In the first section, which I call "Clarity", Erwin and Kethledge discuss the difference between clarity and analytical clarity and why they're both important. Clarity being derived moreso from mental quietude, analytical clarity through rigorous syllogistic thought. The takeaway here is that good decisions take clarity- clarity to know and clarity to recognize and trust what you think you know (your intuition). We learn that clarity comes through repetition, listening and concerted effort. It is a choice.In part two we read about how allowing for outside forces, opening our eyes to the unseen and trusting our intuition can incubate the unconventional ideas that are often times necessary to solve complex problems. The secret sauce to this? Understanding your values. If you know what your values are you'll have confidence in what you think you see, in what you think you think, in your purpose, and thus, you'll better connect to your ability to create solutions.Part three, "Balance", examines the proper reaction when leaders take on forces larger than themselves. Be it actual enemy forces, nasty business conflicts or complex family problems. The "proper reaction" includes reflection, catharsis, acceptance, stepping away from external stimuli, and questioning the legitimacy of fear. To quote Sec Def Mattis, "emotional contemplation… allows you to reconcile the human aspect with the more mechanical aspects of our actions, the things we're required to do. It brings you to a more balanced place to carry out the mission."Part four, "Courage", instructs us how to carry out that mission. It encourages the reader to never give up, reminds us that we're never really alone and that fighting for what's right in the face of what's wrong is the only option for leaders. We learn that courage is almost impossible unless one is connected with core values. These help us determine for which and for whom we are willing to risk personal harm. An effective leader also understands how to pass on their moral courage to their subordinates. The key to passing on courage is to go one step beyond personal values, which is to understand and connect yourself to your followers' values. Want to inspire courage in others? Spend time with them, understand them, fight for each other's shared values.The argument woven throughout the entire book is that in order to gain clarity, to recognize the unseen, to maintain balance and to practice courage requires productive solitude. Solitude creates the personal space that allows leaders to recharge and reflect so that they can serve others more effectively.I couldn't agree more. So, do you have a practice of productive solitude? Heck no! Everyone's busy, right? Who has time for solitude when there are bills to be paid, hobbies to enjoy and social events to attend? And I'm not making fun- all of those are certainly important. But here's reality: if you're not making a habit of practicing solitude, you are probably not maximizing your clarity, you're probably not able to see beyond near-term issues enough to find creative solutions to real problems, you're probably not balanced enough to properly evaluate what's going on around you and worst of all- you might be robbing yourself of the ability to be morally courageous when the time comes to negotiate the obstacles of life.Want to improve as a leader? Start with yourself (know/seek out your values) and aim for clarity. It's likely that you'll find the conviction and balance required to be brave.
In Lead Yourself First, Ray Kethledge and Mike Erwin explain what we can gain from solitude, and what we are increasing losing in a society marked by the promise of constant connectivity through handheld devices. The book is organized around particular qualities that solitude can enhance, such as analytical clarity and creativity. In each section, the authors use the experiences of leaders both historical and contemporary to illustrate how solitude can enhance the quality at hand.The authors present a compelling case for solitude's benefits. In contrast to most discussion of leadership today, which consists largely of empty platitudes ("think outside the box") and buzzwords ("forward-thinking"), the authors explain in concrete terms how solitude can serve the qualities that define leadership. For instance, they tell the story of how Eisenhower's practice of distilling his thoughts into memos helped him to identify the key variables in planning the D-Day invasion, and ultimately make a decision amid complex and changing facts on the ground (and, as it turned out, in the skies). Although many of the stories involve famous leaders in high positions, the qualities the authors discuss are so universal that anyone can find something of value in the book. On top of all that, the book is a pleasure to read. The stories are interesting and diverse. And the writing is clear and powerful. In all, the authors' own stated commitment to solitude is readily apparent in the extent to which the book exemplifies the virtues they discuss. Highly recommended.
There is a strange paradox about how we learn leadership. We make our reputations in public, in action. Leadership is a doing discipline. But we make ourselves in solitude and reflection.There are no “born leaders.†We all must learn our craft through the interplay of action and reflection. As Frederick the Great said, “What good is experience if you do not reflect?â€Solitude was a natural part of the order of things for most of history. When you were out walking, you didn’t have a phone in your pocket that could ring and interrupt your thoughts. There was no email silently shouting, "Check me!" when you turned on your computer. Today, you must make time for solitude and reflection. Raymond M. Kethledge and Michael S. Erwin show you how to develop two practices. One is “systematically†building pockets of solitude in your life. The other is recognizing unplanned and unexpected opportunities for solitude and seizing them.That’s what Lead Yourself First: Inspiring Leadership Through Solitude is about. It’s not about decision-making. It’s not about building character, or meditation, or even leadership. It’s about finding solitude and using it to reflect on your life, your challenges, and what you should do. The authors use case studies to teach. If you’re like me, you’ll recognize some of the people they write about: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dwight Eisenhower. You might recognize others, but not know much about them. The case studies are the core of the book. You’ll get the most value from the book if you read them and reflect on them.Solitude has been an important part of my life for decades. I read Lead Yourself First because I wanted to find out more about solitude and how other people used it. I achieved that goal. I found things I wanted to try and to do. I found ideas I wanted to think more about. The case study that was most helpful for me was about Dwight Eisenhower.I already knew a lot about Eisenhower, but not much about how he used solitude. I discovered how he combined solitude with writing to analyze issues and concerns. I want to try Eisenhower’s practice of writing memos about important issues. He wrote the memos for himself, as a thinking exercise. Writing also helped Eisenhower maintain emotional balance in trying times. You may want to get right to the “how-tos†of the book. Jump ahead to the last few pages. The chapter titled “Embracing Solitude†includes four sections about how to find solitude and use it productively.Creating Solitude at WorkSolitude Outside WorkPreparing for SolitudeWhat to Focus on In SolitudeThis will help you whether you’ve read the whole book or not. But you’ll get more from this material if you read the case studies. You may want to read the last few pages first and then start the book from the beginning.In A NutshellLead Yourself First is a helpful book about a vitally-important topic. Read it to understand how you can make yourself a better leader using solitude.Â
