Riding for the Brand is a western that's set in the future. It's a short novel about leadership, human motivation and change. The story revolves around two men: Bob Fooshee, a freelance writer, and Burns Marcus, a rancher who builds a business empire. The year is 2030, and Fooshee is dispatched by a magazine to write about Marcus, whose ranch was near bankruptcy 25 years earlier. It was then that Marcus, searching for answers, attended the cattlemen's convention in San Antonio and heard a speaker who provoked him to radically change the way he approached his business. This was the catalyst that led Marcus to start Diamond Enterprises, which becomes the model organization of the 21st century. While interviewing Burns at his ranch in Oklahoma, Bob rides pasture, ropes a few steers and discovers the key to Burns Marcus' success - the power of purposeful leadership.

The extensive leadership literature of our day focuses on the what and how of leadership. Numerous definitions, concepts, behaviors, and traits of leadership aim to pinpoint the "magic formula" -from a blanket approach--that makes leadership effective. One vital, yet often overlooked, area lacking in these conversations is the emphasis on the personal connection to leadership. This book takes a deep dive into the notion of leadership as a personal brand. It provides theories, strategies, examples, and tactics along with evidence suggesting that leadership derives from -- and is influenced by -- a more personal context. Chapters draw from the belief that there is no separation between the leader and the person holding the leadership title. The leader's identity has a direct correlation to who the leader is as a person rather than a function. Leadership values stem primarily from personal values, experiences, beliefs, and other influences, and thus, the perceptions of a leader are automatically associated with that person-- the individual. Accordingly, if leadership output is personal and the outcomes are personal to those influenced by the leader, then one who is considered an impactful leader is the result of both their personal attributes and their application of concepts and theories. The way a leader leads originates from a customized selection of leadership styles, strengths, and approaches that are unique to each person and based on their exposures and influences. This book also explores a personal branding approach to leadership development. It explains leadership branding as an acknowledgement of leader's reputation. How one is viewed as a leader becomes personal once those perceptions are used to identify the leader. They comprise the leader's brand-reputation. In recognizing leadership as a personal brand, the book incorporates branding concepts and how these contribute to leadership development, responsibility, and outcomes. The subject of this book is strategic leadership development. Readers will use the customized Leadership BRAND Assessment and explore concepts and theories common to leadership, to understand and develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to effectively lead organizations and teams effectively through change, crisis, uncertainty, and other barriers to achieving a common goal. Topics covered in this book include, leadership responsibility and accountability, ethics, values, effective communication, resilience, vision, foresight and followership.
