Since 2007, more than 10,000 leaders have benefited from the True Growth leader development experience. Our team of facilitators and coaches are committed to helping leaders embrace the transformational power of authenticity to improve themselves and the lives they touch. This world-class team has truly been the key to the success of the True Growth experience. As part of the True Growth experience, we developed a 360° assessment based on the 7 core competencies and corresponding 25 behaviors of an authentic leader. For the thousands of leaders who benefited from this assessment and their one-on-one coaching sessions, we decided to publish a free monthly newsletter that focused on these seven core competencies that are essential to becoming an authentic leader. Each of these newsletters was written by a member of our team with the goal of sharing a personal story that brought to life one of the competencies. The response to the newsletters was overwhelmingly positive. Not only did the readers, True Growth Alumni, enjoy the impactful real-world stories, but they saw great benefit from the True Growth Takeaway, Reflection Questions, and Book Recommendation that were included with each newsletter. That information allowed them to go deeper into making that competency an integral part of their life. This book is our way of sharing these True Growth lessons on how to become an authentic leader. It is organized into seven sections focused on the behavioral competencies of an authentic leader. We encourage you to read each chapter deliberately, focus on the True Growth Takeaway, and, most importantly, take time to reflect and act on the Reflection Questions included after each chapter. We have also included at the end of each section some specific behaviors you should consider using to improve as a leader at home and work. Our hope is that this book serves you well on your journey to leadership authenticity! Byrd Baggett &amp; Lawson Magruder

The Book of Excellence was my first book that was published in 1990. Since then, it has sold more than 250,000 copies and has been published in nine languages. Its success far exceeded my expectations, as my goal was to simply share proven, common sense habits of successful sales professionals. Over the past forty years, I have participated in some of the best training available to the sales and marketing profession. Quite frankly, 90 percent of it is fluff. My experience is that less than 10 percent of all sales training programs are implemented to the extent that they produce increased sales and profits. The Book of Excellence is what I have learned from observing the top performers in many fields. This not only includes conventional sales professionals, but also bankers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, stock brokers, military leaders, and collegiate coaches and administrators. I believe passionately that these women and men have achieved their success by keeping it simple and by developing positive habits. Here is what I have learned about the habits that bring success in this profession I love so much. Byrd Baggett
