About this listen

“The perfect book for the times in which we live...page after page of engaging stories, profound insights, and practical tips on how you can stand up and take responsibility for making something meaningful happen.” (Jim Kouzes, co-author of the best-selling The Leadership Challenge)

All too often, the challenges we face seem overwhelming. Where do we start? What if we fail? But best-selling author John Izzo argues that almost every problem, from personal difficulties and business challenges to social issues, can be solved if all of us look to ourselves to create change rather than looking to others. And with the research to prove it, Izzo shows that by seeing ourselves as the locus of control rather than the victims of change, we are happier, less stressed, and more powerful.

Izzo shows how taking responsibility changes our careers, companies, lives, and communities. This book is filled with stories that illustrate the incredible power of stepping up: a homeless man who started a recycling revolution, a middle-aged Italian shopkeeper who fought back against the mafia, two teenagers who ignited an anti-bullying movement, an executive who turned a dying division into a profit center, and a few employees who created a multibillion dollar product for Starbucks, and many more.

This second edition includes a new chapter on the Stepping Up Continuum, a model that looks at six ways to know if you are stepping up or stepping back, as well as fresh stories and a self-assessment tool for helping leaders create a culture for stepping up in their organizations. We have the power within ourselves to move mountains - we just have to decide that we are the ones to do it!
