10 Discussions for Effective Leadership
10 Ways to Exceed Your Expectations as a Leader
This is the second book from the lead author, Raymond Perras. Teaming up with two leadership coaching clients (Marcel Bellefeuille from the world of professional sports, and Bruno Lindia, a CEO and business owner), Raymond has developed a unique and groundbreaking effort to bring forward some issues that do not often get dealt with in a leadership book. Based on the concept of Peak Performance (the right stuff, in the right amount, at the right time), this work provides a leader with insight into how to maximize results while reducing stress.
Tapping their experiences in leading and coaching leaders, the authors have shared insights into some of the less glamorous aspects of leadership. The goal is to raise a leader's awareness to the fact that the team results can be improved when attention is paid to specific aspects of leadership in order to increase effectiveness. The implementation of a thinking process that ensures a continuous effort to seek peak performance ultimately enables everyone to exceed expectations.

The 5 Pillars of Leadership in a Peak Performance Environment
How The Little Things Make a BIG DIFFERENCE
In his first book, AïM for Life Mastery, Raymond laid out a process to implement personal peak performance. However, in the context of a team, organization or workplace, peak performance will flourish only if the environment is conducive to the development and maintenance of peak performance. This book provides the person in charge with five key elements to focus on and act upon to foster the creation of an environment that will allow and enable people to act with excellence, effectiveness and efficiency to produce peak performance on a routine basis.
It starts with character. A powerful leader will make sure that he or she applies good practices to leadership: have a vision and share it; practice innovation as a routine; remove barriers to performance; model the way; celebrate success to help maintain motivation.
Then a clear desire to empower must be continuously transferred to build trust and accountability. That is followed by a sustained effort to build the team so that everyone is inside the bubble and can deploy competencies associated with organizational capabilities to produce effort-less effectiveness. The environment for peak performance will be framed by a measure of management of systems and leadership for the people so that product or service delivery is facilitated. Finally, a good measure of coaching to help people develop their potential will ensure the best possible results with the least efforts possible.
This book is a reference to be contemplated in adjusting one’s effort to create a peak performance environment that survives the normal ups and downs of everyday life in an organization, no matter what its mission happens to be.
