About the Book

Put People First is the story of Michael Stone, the struggling CEO of a financial consulting company founded by his late father. Michael is appointed CEO by the Board of Directors upon the sudden death of his father. After five years of his leadership the company is not doing well. Michael's primary quantitive leadership focus has left the company in a precarious position. Company morale is suffering. The company's financial position is weakening. One morning Michael accidentally overhears two managers wistfully comparing Michael's leadership with his late father's leadership. The comparison shocks Michael. He didn't know people felt this way about his leadership. It was a brutal awakening. Stunned, Michael walks back to his office where another surprise awaits him. The annual Employee Satisfaction Survey is sitting on his desk. Tentatively he opens the survey results and learns the satisfaction of employees with the company culture has dropped to an all time low. He realizes his leadership is in real trouble. He abruptly decides to go for a walk and ends up in the company's beautiful gardens where he takes a seat on a bench. It was his first time in the park like setting. Suddenly he looks up and sees an older man approaching him To his surprise the man asks if he can join Michael. Reluctantly, Michael says yes. The man introduces himself as Nick. This is the beginning of a friendship that dramatically impacts Michael leadership.

Over the next ten months Nick takes Michael on a journey of leadership discovery that forever changes Michael's views on how to truly lead people and organizations. The journey is painful, provocative and immensely revealing. Nick artfully guides Michael's understanding of eight human qualities essential for leaders to be highly effective. Nick's message to Michael represents the golden rule of leadership. People matter.
