Redefining Excellence

Lessons from a Life of Learning and Leadership

by Hector DeJesus, DBA

The crazy world we live in can be defined by Losses, Obstacles, Complexity, and Ambiguity. I call it a LOCA environment because that's how it currently feels. This book shows leaders how aligning Purpose, Motivation, Vision, and Mission gives them and their teams a stable center to work from in an unstable world.

It also gives readers practical tools they can actually use, like the Ten C's of Core Values, the Planned Approach to Change, and decision-making models that turn ideas into action.

Excellence is about building a disciplined, predictable way of operating that is ready for whatever life throws at it. Anyone can achieve excellence, as long as they're willing to lead with Vision, Clarity, and Action.
