Neil Ducoff - Why I wrote "No-Compromise Leadership"

Neil Ducoff, author of "No-Compromise Leadership: A Higher Standard of Leadership Thinking and Behavior," interviewed by Mara Dresner.

No-Compromise Leadership is all about the thinking, behavior and accountability that support all leadership results and outcomes.

A number of years ago, I began using the term "no-compromise" in my lectures, consulting work and writing. I used it to communicate, without question or misinterpretation, a leadership style that is resolute in its commitment to consistency, accountability and integrity. It seemed the more I used "no-compromise," the more it seemed to strike a deep and resonating cord in business leaders. I heard stories about leadership team and staff meetings targeting key issues with "no-compromise" as the non-negotiable outcome. Business owners and managers would tell me how no-compromise thinking helped them decisively deal with difficult situations, problem employees or tasks they previously avoided. Today, barely a day passes without receiving a no-compromise story or reference to how it impacted a customer's personal thinking and business.

No-compromise leadership is all about the thinking, behavior and accountability that support all leadership results and business outcomes. By design, no-compromise cuts through the myriad of excuses, emotional blockages and procrastination that silently infect leadership performance. If "No-compromise" becomes the mandate - the guiding principle upon which all other leadership behavior emanates - the resulting business outcomes will be nothing short of breakthrough. - Neil Ducoff
