Former GM and Bestselling Author Omar L. Harris announces New Book: Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss

June 25, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Former GM (GSK and Allergan), Award-Winning and Bestselling Author, and DEI Thought Leader Omar L. Harris announces the release of the “most crucial and compelling business book of the year”: “Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss” today.

“Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss” by Former GM and Award-Winning and Bestselling Author Omar L. Harris is available starting today (June 25, 2021) in Paperback and eBook versions.

Based on 20+ years of executive experience leading diverse teams on four continents, Former GM, Bestselling Author, Intent Consulting Founder and Tympio.io Inclusion App Founder Omar L. Harris announces the launch of his new business book today: “Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss: Leadership in the Era of Corporate Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion” (June 25, 2021).

Harris emphasizes, “J.E.D.I. Leaders are a positive force for good pushing back on the dark forces at work. These modern leaders are finding ways for businesses to be more using the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (J.E.D.I.) in order to achieve the true purpose of corporations – increased value for employees, customers, communities, the environment and shareholders.”

By providing first-hand insights, new tools and solutions, Harris’ goal is to provide new hope and encourage business leaders to create a culture “where injustices are mitigated, inequities are eradicated, diversity is expanded, and inclusion is enhanced.”

As the only African-American GM in the world while working for global pharmaceutical giant Allergan in 2020, Harris believes strongly that leaders need to take action now to embrace J.E.D.I. Leadership and hire leadership teams that match diverse workforces.

With white males holding 85.8% of the Fortune 500 CEO positions in 2020 (yet only 35% of the population), Harris highlights to the need to “stop the guardians of the status quo.” In addition, white women only make up 6.8% of Fortune 500 CEOs, 3.4% are Latinx, 2.4% are East Asians or South Asians, and only 1% are African Americans, making the need for diversity in leadership even greater.

This new book includes timely topics such as the end of the boss, overcoming toxic egos, new tools (6As of J.E.D.I. Action) and case study examples of both individuals and companies. Readers will find extensive research of business thought leaders, authors, and reports including: Ibram X. Kendi (“How to Become an Antiracist”), Simon Sinek (“Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action”), When Women Thrive 2020 Global Report (Mercer, 2020), Kevin Johnson (“A message from Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson: Preparing for the next phase in the U.S.”), and Jasmyn Wimbish (“Adam Silver pens letter to employees deciding to strike in solidarity with NBA and WNBA players”, CBS Sports.)

Harris explains, read “Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss”:

  • If you believe business leaders should strive for more than profits, but don’t know how to get there.
  • If you are a leader looking to embrace the causes of social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, and want a proven blueprint.
  • If you are joining a company and want your leaders to be aligned with cutting edge leadership.
  • If you are a DEI or HR professional looking for inspiration, reinforcement and new ideas.
  • If you are a business student or professor looking for DEI insights from someone who’s led global enterprise teams.
  • If you are a corporate leader who wants to learn how to go from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism using J.E.D.I. Leadership principles.

And in sync with this new book launch, Harris is gifting the eBook versions of his two most recent leadership books: “The Servant Leader’s Manifesto” (2020) and “Leader Board: The DNA of High-Performance Teams” for five days (June 25 – June 29, 2021).

Audacious Agency Reveals 6 Business Leaders Most Important Business Lessons For Success

May 31, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

One of the greatest personal development journeys a person can take is to start and run their own business. With steep learning curves and a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, everyday entrepreneurs and business owners must learn new skills if they want their business to prosper and thrive.

One of the greatest personal development journeys a person can take is to start and run their own business. With steep learning curves and a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, entrepreneurs and business owners must learn new skills if they want their business to prosper and thrive. Sometimes these lessons have nothing to do with mastering the latest social media platform or closing a deal with a big client, they go deeper, revealing much about the person running the venture.

Alana Joynes, Xpozur founder, believes the most valuable lesson is self belief. “Believing in myself and knowing my worth, especially as a woman,” she said. “ As a mum and business owner, I’ve learned the importance of backing myself and trusting my intuition, especially where there’s discomfort or the need to adapt.

This belief correlates with the ability to take action regardless of the outcome. “Knowing your worth is vital for business commercialisation. If you believe in yourself, you will charge what you’re worth. Instead of thinking you have work for free to be taken seriously,” Alana said.

Susan Sheehan, managing partner of SMARTCOACH7, coaching self-development and financial growth, said the most important business lessons are steeped in the right mind-money mind-set. “But it’s not about money at all.  The marketplace will show you the money when you show the marketplace your self-worth.” 

Having a vision is necessary. “The power and necessity of a vision, knowing exactly what you want in panoramic, detailed colour, emotionally connected and believing it’s possible is relevant for decision-making to achieve it.”

Susan urges those in business not to overlook the absolute importance of numbers. “Business is all about the math, and if you want to make money in business, you need to ‘fall in love’ with business, and not with what you do.  When you become great at business, you can do business anywhere, anytime doing anything.”

Narmie Thambipillay from Narmiet learned the power of focus to drive success. “My biggest business lesson has been to learn to focus.  One of my biggest weaknesses has always been marketing, and more importantly branding. I was constantly doing one course after another to learn how to market and brand the business,” she said.  

“The problem was I was constantly buying courses, but never implementing anything, because I was in a world of overwhelm.  When I finally made the decision to stop buying more courses, and put into action one thing and focus on it for 30 days, the overwhelm disappeared, and I was truly able to see if something worked or not.”

Courtney Rogers, from Court and Co, learned her most valuable business lessons after burning out. “I find focus by having a limited list of goals for a month, quarter, and/or year. Usually they’re quantitative – make $X this month, get more members – this helps me reach those goals,” she said.

Saying ‘no’ more often and setting boundaries and rules is vital for long term growth. “I limit the number of meetings I have per day, and only have meetings on certain days to ensure balance in my week,” Courtney said. “If I lose focus, it usually means I need a break. Sometimes I may move appointments/work for a day or a week, to give myself mental space to clear the fog, re-focus, and reinvigorate my motivation.”

Award-winning accountant, Sonia Gibson, says persistence matters. “Success is about persistence, turning up every day, doing your best, leaving excuses and blame at the door while taking responsibility for what you’re doing,” she said. “It’s about trying new things when something isn’t working, and creative thinking to solve complex problems rather than giving up.  You’ve a brain and two hands…work it out – see what needs to be done and get it done.” 

Katriina Tahka, CEO of A-HA, A Human Agency, is a believer in treating people like people. She said staff in businesses often feel like they’re just a number. “For far too long, people have been treated like a resource, or a line item, or a salary cost, which can be dialed up and down according to business demand,” she said. “You can see where the title ‘Human Resources’ comes from, and it doesn’t help that they count people in economic units referred to as an ‘FTE’.  None of this is actually very human-friendly.”

“The lesson is …treat all your people like humans, not resources; and create a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and respected, and watch your people + profits thrive.”

Why Lead Magnet Is Important For Every Business? SFWPExperts

May 30, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Businesses are already using different types of lead magnets to get their visitor personal details like email id and phone number. If you are looking to make your website online presence strong and effective that can generate good revenue and acquire maximum customer online. Then start creating and promoting attractive lead magnets that can benefit your visitors.

Email and mobile numbers are personal things that users can not share with anyone. Even if you ask your customers to reveal their details they will hesitate to do it because no one likes to share their details for free. That’s why marketers use lead magnet to provide an incentive to users in exchange for their email addresses or mobile numbers.

Let me give you two cases to make your concept clear on why lead magnet is important in today’s marketing world:

For example:

Case 1:

You have a blog on how to boost your companies sales and at the end of the blog post, you place a signup form asking visitors to fill that form and join their email list to get more updates.

Case 2:

Your competitor has an ebook PDF on the same topic “10 ways you can boost your business”. And they are asking their visitors to fill the signup form and join their email list to get that ebook.

Who is going to have more sign up Case 1 or case 2?
