Imagine a world where personal and professional growth are combined, where improving your relationships and owning your strengths at work translate directly into the rest of your life.

Creating a company culture like that is not a dream. Through personal stories and real-life conversations, Jonathan Raymond takes you into the room with managers and employees where real culture change happens, and shows you a new kind of employee mentoring where each person gets the real-time feedback, support, and clear boundaries we all need to get beyond the patterns that hold us back.

In this provocative and timely new book, Jonathan brings together what he has learned over a twenty-year journey as an executive, entrepreneur, team leader, and leadership trainer. Combining his experience as the CEO and CBO of EMyth where he led the transformation of a global coaching brand with the lessons learned along his own personal growth journey, Jonathan walks us through a step-by-step approach that integrates the leading edges of both. Youโ€™ll discover a way to lead your team that is both profoundly human and results-oriented at the same time.

Whether youโ€™re a CEO or business owner, executive, team leader, consultant, or coach, Good Authority will give you new ideas and inspiration you can put into practice. Most importantly, it will give you permission to be more of who you are at work than you ever thought possible.

Jonathan Raymond is the former CEO of EMyth, where he led a multi-year transformation of a global coaching brand. Over a twenty-year career, he has worked in tech, clean tech, and the nonprofit world. He has studied and trained in a wide range of personal growth and spiritual traditions, east and west, looking for answers to the big questions about life and love. He lives in Ashland, Oregon, a lovely town thatโ€™s too far away from a warm ocean.

Reviews

โ€œA beautifully written book that will help you be a better leader and build a strong and lasting company culture.โ€

โ€œRequired reading for anyone who wants to do more than merely manage people. Good Authority is a modern classic, and it will redefine what it means to be the boss.โ€

โ€œStudies show that less than one-third of employees are engaged at work and that managers are the key to fixing the problem. Jonathan Raymondโ€™s Good Authority gives managers exactly the tools we need, and shows us that the best way to get people to be engaged is to be more engaged with them.โ€

โ€œFull of practical, no-nonsense guidance for the leader who wants to do work that matters. If youโ€™re looking for a roadmap to help the people on your team to own their work, this book is for you.โ€
