This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 3.43.

We have brought to a point in our world, in our society, where we have allowed anybody to

interrupt us at any time using any medium that they choose

and to assign whatever priority they want to and we just have to deal with it. And that's not

through leadership.

Hey there. Thanks for being here. I'm Jeff Brown. This is the podcast dedicated to your personal

and professional growth where we not only help curate and narrow your reading list, but

bring you key insights and

valuable ideas from some of today's most successful and inspiring authors. This podcast has even

sent me on the journey of writing my own book. More on that in just a moment. Today, we're

going to be joined by author Dave McCone. We'll be digging into his book, The Self-Evolved Leader,

elevate your focus, and Develop

Your People in a World that Refuses to Slow Down. I'm going to ask Dave about what self-evolved

leadership looks like and why it should replace, in his view, our current leadership models,

the role of mindset in the world of the self-evolved leader, the macro and micro-disciplines of self-evolved

leadership and lots more. Well, in case you'd like to celebrate along with me, my co-author,

Jesse Wisniewski and I sent in our manuscript just a couple of days ago to our publisher, Baker

Books. So we're very excited. We know the journey's just getting started. I can't wait for you to read this book. It's going to be coming out in the fall of next year, so we've got some time to wait.

Plenty of edits, I'm sure, happening between now and then and much, much more involved. Things I've never done before I'll be doing for the first time. But I invite you to, at some point this week, to clink your glasses with Jesse's and mine.

We're excited.

Dave McKeown helps individuals, teams, and organizations achieve excellence by doing

the ordinary things extraordinarily well.
