Special Announcement
I am excited to announce my latest book The Games Leaders Play: How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life releases on December 3, 2024. However, you can go ahead and pre-order your copies now! Let me tell you why I am so excited about this book:
Synopsis
Some leaders are easily forgotten, others leave a lasting legacy. Some leaders do things by default, others by design. Some leaders want silver bullets, others build systems. The Games Leaders Play is a powerful resource which gives you the tools and resources needed to succeed in today’s world.
Containing numerous stories and anecdotes, I will teach you the leadership principles needed to make a positive difference in the lives of others. You will be inspired and better equipped to lead others as you turn each page. A discussion guide is included so you can go through this book with your team.
Whether you lead a church, athletic organization, business, or non-profit, The Games Leaders Play is the resource you have been looking for. Some leaders keep doing the same, others are playing a different game. It’s time to go to the next level!
I want you to know the same skills being used by today’s most successful leaders. In my new book The Games Leaders Play, I show you how applying these skills can help you achieve your full potential.
“When I first read the title The Games Leaders Play by my friend Brian Dodd, it made me smile. Then I read the subtitle How People Just Like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life and was intrigued. But, when I opened the book and read it, it was quintessential Brian Dodd. He under-promised and over-delivered. So many aha moments, transformational thinking, and motivation to keep climbing. You’ll share this book with all you love.” -Sam Chand, Leadership Consultant and author of Voices
Who Is The Games Leaders Play For?
Since leaders are readers, this book is for everyone – especially YOU! That is why the subtitle is How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life. If you enjoy my regular posts, you will love The Games Leaders Play: How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life! In your individual study time, you will find this book helps you get better as a leader. But here are four target groups of people who I think will find the book especially transformative:
- Coaches, Front Office Personnel, and Athletic Directors – Kevin Burrell, Chicago White Sox scout, said it best, “I could not put this book down! A book that is rich with leadership skills and insights. Something that everyone can relate to. Coaches, parents, athletes, pastors and business leaders alike will benefit from reading this book.” Life University Director of Athletics Jayme Pendergast added, “Brian does a beautiful job at painting a picture of leadership in a pragmatic way through the stories he shares. This book serves as a toolbox for leaders: a container full of real-life examples and lessons to pull from when your current situation calls for it. Leaders are learners and this book packs in so many learning opportunities for us as leaders to help navigate our daily responsibilities.”
- Business and Marketplace Leaders – Kevin Paul Scott, Author and Co-Founder of ADDO, said “Brian Dodd has earned a reputation for building leaders. In his latest book, he hits a home run! In The Games Leaders Play, Brian opens our eyes to see a new perspective on leadership. The lessons he shares will help you make better decisions, relate to people more effectively, and increase your impact as a leader.”
- Pastors – Mike Linch, Senior Pastor NorthStar Church, Host of the “Linch with a Leader” said, “There are games that people play and there are games that leaders play. Many times those games are the same but most of the time they are very different! In these pages Brian Dodd does what he does best and peels back the layers to discover the real story behind the “leaders” who do it differently! Why is Brian so good at discovering what others do best…. because he is one of those leaders that he writes about! This is good stuff!!!”
- Small Group or Discipleship Pastors – At the end of the book is a 10-part series of discussion questions. Once again, these can be answered individually but The Games Leaders Play: How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life is not designed to be read alone. Read the book and then discuss the questions in community.
In some ways this book is a sequel to my previous best-selling works and Mighty: 7 Skills You Need to Move from Pandemic to Progress and 2021 The Year In Leadership: The Stories of Faith, Athletics, and Business Which Inspired Us All. Make sure you pick those books as well.
I have a special request. Once again, The Games Leaders Play: How People just like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life is not meant to be read alone but with others. Obviously, you can start with yourself but if you enjoy the book, order additional copies so you can invest in someone else. Leadership truly is a team sport!
“If you’re a leader and prefer your encouragement and motivation in short bits and segments, then The Games Leaders Play: How People Just Like YOU are Making a Difference and Winning in Athletics, Business, Faith, and Life is the book for you. This is a brilliant collection of short stories, anecdotes, and life lessons that I couldn’t put down. Brian Dodd understands the hectic world we live in and has created a fantastic resource that will give you a shot in the arm when you need it most. Get the book. You won’t be sorry!” – Phil Cooke, Ph.D. – Media producer, writer, and author of “Ideas on a Deadline: How to Be Creative When the Clock is Ticking”
