PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF.A flight to Dallas left an hour late, ran into a storm, changed altitude, changed course, and then circled in a holding pattern over the airport. It still landed safely where it was supposed to. Ron Tredway uses that flight as a picture of a career and of leadership. The pilot owns the journey, adjusts to turbulence, and brings everyone in the cabin to the destination.In Lead at a Higher Altitude, altitude is not a title or a position. It is a level of effectiveness, clarity, and influence. It shows how well you turn learning into action, how faithfully you carry responsibility, and how you respond to challenge and opportunity. Altitude is not reached by accident. It comes through purpose, preparation, and perseverance.SEVEN PRINCIPLES FOR THE CLIMBEach principle gets its own chapter, with its meaning for altitudinal performance, its meaning for leaders in different situations, and its meaning for organizational and talent development professionals: 1. Attitude Affects Behavior2. Clarity of Direction Shapes Destiny3. Reality Check Dispels Wrong Assumptions4. Feedback Application on Gap Promotes Achievement5. Competency Awareness Sparks Readiness6. Leadership Is About Change and Learning7. Learning Is PerformanceTHE A-L-T-I-T-U-D-E MODELRunning through the principles is a simple model you can remember. Advance the attitude. Leverage your moments. Take time for clarity of direction. Insist on periodic reality checks. Thank those who give meaningful feedback. Understand the link between learning and work. Develop the needed competencies. Engage in practical practice. Each part lands in the principle where it belongs.WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE- Real stories from training rooms and leadership teams, including how careless behavior in one training session shaped later hiring decisions- Pause and consider and Questions to Ponder prompts that help you see where you are cruising and what turbulence you face- Words of Wisdom drawn from Solomon and other wise sages, placed through the book and gathered in the appendix- An Integrated Practice summary that pulls the seven principles together- Practical prayers, terms and definitions, and supplemental insightsLEARNING AND PERFORMANCE ARE ONE JOURNEYTredway's central idea is that effective applied learning leads to effective performance, effective performance leads to purpose fulfillment, and purpose fulfillment is altitude achievement. How you show up in a classroom or training session often mirrors how you will show up at work. Others notice, and your reputation follows.WRITTEN FOR LEADERS AT EVERY STAGEThis book is for people preparing for takeoff, people managing turbulence mid-flight, and people learning to hold altitude while guiding others. Whether you lead formally or informally, in the workplace, the classroom, ministry, or the community, your influence matters. Like the trim tab on a plane, one leader can move the whole environment.Written from a Christian faith perspective, with scripture woven through, it treats leadership, learning, and performance as connected expressions of stewardship. Learn on purpose, perform faithfully, and lead humbly.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/889/307/9798893072679_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
