YOUR ONLY JOB AS A LEADER IS TO MAKE SURE MONDAY MORNING DOESN’T SUCK.
At least that’s what Eric Harkins thinks. In his first book, Eric talks about his twenty-five-year journey working in corporate America and the many lessons he learned about leadership. He was lucky enough to work for a company that made sure Monday morning didn’t suck, but even luckier to work for several that didn’t.
Great Leaders Make Sure Monday Morning Doesn’t Suck is a fun, engaging, and light-hearted collection of stories told by Eric. He’s worked for some good leaders. He’s worked for some bad leaders. And he learned a lot about what it takes to create a culture high performers want to be a part of.

“IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, YOU’RE SURE.”
It’s pretty good life advice, but it’s great leadership advice…especially if you’re thinking about the talent in your organization. If you’re not sure that person should get promoted, you’re sure. If you’re not sure you should hire that candidate, you’re sure. You can’t create a culture that people want to be a part of…a workplace where Monday morning doesn’t suck…if you have bad leaders.
A bad leader will never create a good culture.
