Publisher's Synopsis
FREEDOM, POWER, and CHOICE
Leadership is innate. The Responsibility Process proves it.
The Responsibility Process is a natural mental pattern that helps you process thoughts about taking or avoiding responsibility.
How you navigate it determines whether you are leading toward meaningful results or just marking time.
This book gives you precision tools, practices, and leadership truths to navigate The Responsibility Process and lead yourself and others to freedom, power, and choice.
-HENRY KIMSEY-HOUSE, co-founder & lead designer of CTI, co-author of Co-Active Coaching & Co-Active Leadership ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE RESPONSIBILITY PROCESS "This is an important book. The discovery and development of The Responsibility Process is a contribution to the psychology of success and happiness."
-DEREK SIVERS, founder of CD Baby, author of Anything You Want "This book changed how I talk about responsibility in my training courses and with my teen daughters. An ownership mindset is critical to business agility. Avery brilliantly dissects how ownership (or the lack of it) works in the mind and what to do about it to lead yourself and others to freedom, happiness, and results that matter."
