TWO BOOKS BY RODNEY R. PAYNE
Two Books.
One Question?.
Who is standing beside you, and how do you decide what comes next?
Rodney R. Payne has written two books for leaders carrying real weight. One is about the six people who sustain you. The other is about the decisions that define you. Both are available now.
BOOK ONE
You Do Not Need a Bigger Network.
You Need the Right Six.
Most leaders have plenty of connections. What they are missing are six specific types of relationships that sustain a leader through the long game: the ones who tell them the truth, carry them when depleted, hold them accountable when no one else will, and celebrate them when the milestone arrives.
Every Man Needs a Six Pack gives you the framework to identify who those six people are, how to build those relationships intentionally, and what to do when one of those seats is empty. This is not a networking book. It is a leadership book about the inner circle every man in a position of vision and responsibility needs to build, and almost no one teaches him how.
BOOK TWO
Nobody Ever Taught You How to Decide.
Our lives are full of decisions. We make them all day, every day, and many of them chart the course not just for the rest of the day but for the rest of our lives. They shape the people who depend on us just as much as they shape us.
The trouble is that most of us were never actually taught how to make good ones. Parents and mentors urge us to make good choices. Almost none of them show us the steps.
Critical Decisions Made Easy closes that gap. Rodney breaks decision-making into clear, succinct steps that help leaders cut through the daunting details and arrive at effective, energized decisions that serve both the leader and everyone under that leader’s care.
