A few years after The Go-Giver first appeared, an idea occurred to us. It felt like Pindar still had more to say.
Pindar, of course, is the mysterious mentor character from the first book, who introduces our struggling hero Joe to the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success , one of which says, Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first . We thought Pindar would want us to expand on that. That he and his friends would have something to say about leadership .
Originally published in 2011 under the title, It’s Not About You, the book has been retitled The Go-Giver Leader, given a beautiful new jacket, and the text has been revised/sharpened/clarified a bit (especially in its concluding chapters and in Ben’s fifth and final “Key to Legendary Leadership”) to better capture in words just what it was that Ben finally learned—what lies at the heart of Pindar’s leadership secret.
