Boise-based consultant collaborates with executive leaders on new book

Top business leaders across the nation share their leadership failures in Rookie Mistakes: Advice From Top Executives on Five Critical Leadership Errors

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mike McHargue, an organizational health consultant, has partnered with executive leaders from across the country in several industries to write a book about the most critical leadership errors—and how to avoid them.

Rookie Mistakes: Advice From Top Executives on 5 Critical Leadership Errors features 25 real-life accounts of errors made and lessons learned from leaders of top U.S. companies, including Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron Technology; Steve Long, global vice president of sales and marketing at Intel Corporation; and Dr. William Morice, II, president of Mayo Medical Laboratories and department chair of laboratory medicine and pathology at Mayo Clinic.

The collaboration between executive leadership and McHargue provides readers with personal stories and key insights to help both new and veteran leaders avoid five common mistakes: allowing confusion, failing to connect with your team, running truly awful meetings, hiring too fast and firing too slow, and failing to give and solicit feedback.

“This book is a shot of wisdom from several industries — medical, technology, cruise lines and we even have personal experience shared from an Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice,” McHargue said. “No matter how much leadership experience you have, you will find something useful in this book.

Rookie Mistakes, which released on October 16, includes a 25-question tool for leaders to assess their abilities and performance, and see how evaluation from their team members compares.

Rookie Mistakes draws endorsement from leaders in companies like Mozilla, Intel, St. Luke’s Health System, and Patrick Lencioni, New York Times best-selling author and founder and president of The Table Group consulting firm.

The newly released book is available on Amazon, and was published by Aloha Publishing. Learn more about McHargue and his book at mike-mchargue.com.
