Description

Thrive in a changing industry by putting your people first Advisory Leadership is a practical and highly executable guide for financial advisors and finance professionals looking to thrive in today's changing financial services industry. Written by a leading financial advisor with practice improvement expertise, this book shows you how to master the art of leadership while remaining agile and adaptable. You'll learn the seven steps you must take to keep pace and thrive amidst the industry's evolution, with clearly articulated explanations and motivational action items. The discussion covers patience, integrity, compassion, respect, consistency, encouragement, and courage--the foundations of success and continued growth--and shows you how to practice what you preach with real strategies for living the vision and being a true leader. The financial services industry is at a crossroads, between a generation on the cusp of retirement and the new generation stepping in to take its place. This transition has been called a crisis of culture, of values, and of communication, but it's really an opportunity. This book faces the changes head-on, and delivers practical solutions that start and end with your greatest resource--your people. * Unlock the secrets to a people-first company * Speak openly, walk the walk, and promote personal growth * Reward firm-wide collaboration and a team mentality * Reshape your company's DNA to thrive in today's financial environment The industry's overarching question is one of differentiation: how can your firm stand out amid the rise of robo-solutions and an unpredictable future? Advisory Leadership shows you how a people-focused company culture can elevate a firm from surviving to thriving.

"A third book I enjoyed reading this year, and also asked to blurb, is Greg Friedman's Advisory Leadership. Friedman is somewhat unique; he runs Private Ocean, an advisory firm in San Rafael, CA, and is also the founder of Junxure (and Junxure Cloud), a leading CRM software company that is at the forefront of automated practice management innovations. The book is essentially about creating a people-first culture" in your office; the premise of the book is that you, as your firm's leader, have to be somewhat remarkable in order to create a culture where everybody pulls together and is passionate about what they do. You have to exhibit patience, honesty and integrity, compassion, respect, consistency and persistence, encouragement, and courage--and each of those qualities gets its own chapter. The idea is that most of us fall short in one or more of these areas, but fortunately for us, they are not innate characteristics that you have to be born with, which means we can improve if we consciously try to become remarkable in seven dimensions. Advisory Leadership offers advice on how to hire into your firm's unique culture (with key interview questions); how to walk the walk of your firm's mission statement (including open and honest communication, but also collegiality with a sense of humor); how to truly care for your staff (Friedman calls them his most valuable clients); and the book also provides some contrasts between a 'me' culture and a heart culture. There's a chapter on promoting personal growth in the staff, and another on how, procedurally, to reward firm-wide collaboration and a team mentality." -Bob Veres, Inside Information
