Review

"Jeff distills a common-sense approach to leadership development into practical application for immediate use, unlike traditional leadership books. The book has wide application for leaders at all levels, especially for those in senior leadership and executive roles." --Dr. Virginia Richardson, BCC, Business & Healthcare Futurist

"Dr. Doolittle has written a concise directional book on how to be successful at leading self, employees, customers, and shareholders. Dr. Doolittle shows the progression of the right values that result in the right beliefs. These beliefs produce intentions to behave toward self and others that lead everyone within the scope of the leader to grow toward human flourishing. A book every manager should read and practice." --Dr. Bruce E. Winston, PhD, Professor of Business and Leadership

"The concepts identified in his book include a compilation of solid leadership principles, thought-provoking personal reflection questions, and transformational tools to guide one's personal leadership development journey. As I continue to develop and mentor leaders, you can be sure that the conversations will most certainly include the "10 Life-Changing Habits" covered in this book." --Dr. Rob Simpson, President, Global Business Leadership Center

"Your focus on virtues and character through the lens of breaking bad habits provides leaders needed insight for awareness and guidance for change. The scenarios in each "Life-Changing Habit" chapter let the leader see themselves in a non-threatening way which can open the door for personal change." --Diane M. Wiater, PhD, Visiting Professor, Chair of Organizational Leadership

Readers' Favorite 5 Stars
"Dr. Doolittle guides readers with questions while encouraging them to alter the repetitive behavior that leads to undesirable results. The author issues a leadership challenge and provides references in each section. The author relates personal experiences as well as providing fictional examples along with useful diagrams for visual clarification. Life-Changing Leadership Habits provides a sound framework for readers to make clear decisions about their leadership."-- Courtnee Turner Hoyle for Readers' Favorite

"Jeff brings a very relevant read for anyone who aspires to lead people in a very crucial time in our local, national, and international crisis of affairs. I really enjoyed how his approach is a simple, unintimidating, yet a compelling call to action by creating habits everyone can create with agape love and intentionality." --Spencer Warren, Regional General Manager at Gordon Food Service

"I really enjoyed the tools and action items at the end of each leadership habit that can easily be implemented by the reader." --Tom Ascher, Director of Human Resources at Olivet Nazarene University

"The Life-Changing Habits were clearly explained, with strategies to implement with each habit. I personally feel that this is an important resource for today's leaders, as servant leadership and self-leadership are critical needs in our current world." --Mary Verstraete, President, Center for Coaching Excellence 

"This is great for a busy leader that might want to start their day with a nugget to work on through the day." --Greg Boisture, Executive Director of Operation at Marketplace Chaplains

"Now, more than ever, we as leaders find ourselves navigating disruption and transformational change at lightning speed. This book provides an academically proven (and real-life tested) field manual for successfully navigating leadership's most complex issues. It also provides proven techniques to address leadership's most challenging terrain: shaping one's character and competencies from the inside out."--Robert Sundelius, Healthcare Transformer | CEO / COO

"I absolutely love the practicality of this book. Everyone can gain valuable nuggets of wisdom from its pages. The first life-changing habit is brilliant: "there is likely no other habit that is as rare" or "more significant." I wish I had this advice years ago. This is a must-read for everyone."--Dr. Debra J. Dean, School of Business & Leadership Professor --This text refers to the paperback edition.

An excellent and thought provoking read. Easy to follow format introduced some of the most important leadership concepts and then provided detail and further reference for each.
Key leadership traits of Trust, Empathy, and Vulnerability were well discussed throughout the entirety of the work.
I enjoyed my first pass through the content and look forward to going back to each life changing habit in greater detail.

The book “Life Chamging Leadership Habits” was a great addition to the “young leader” mentoring program I designed.

The resources highlighted in the book, provided a great framework for identifying (and resolving) some of the participants Accidental Habits.

As a side bonus, the insights from several of the chapters have enhanced tools and solutions I share in leadership development presentations.
