Talent Acquisition, Retention & Development for Great Leaders

Making sure Monday morning doesn't suck is the primary responsibility of a leader, at least according to Eric Harkins. In his debut book, Harkins recounts his 25-year corporate journey and the valuable lessons he has learned about effective leadership.

Fortunately, Harkins had the privilege of working for a company that ensured Mondays were not dreaded, but he was even luckier to have been employed by several organizations that failed to uphold this essential standard.

"Great Leaders Make Sure Monday Morning Doesn't Suck" is a delightful, engaging, and lighthearted compilation of stories shared by Harkins. He has had the opportunity to work under both exceptional and subpar leaders, and these experiences have provided him with a wealth of knowledge about what it takes to cultivate a culture that attracts and retains top-performing individuals.

Harkins' book is a testament to the importance of creating a work environment where employees look forward to starting their workweek, rather than dreading it. He believes that the primary responsibility of a leader is to guarantee that Monday mornings are not characterized by dread, frustration, or a general sense of unease.

Through his personal anecdotes and insights, Harkins illustrates the profound impact that a leader's actions and mindset can have on the overall morale and productivity of a team. He emphasizes the need for leaders to prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of their employees, as this directly correlates with the organization's success and growth.

The stories shared in "Great Leaders Make Sure Monday Morning Doesn't Suck" are both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering readers a unique perspective on the qualities and behaviors that distinguish exceptional leaders from their less effective counterparts.

Harkins' message is clear: the true measure of a leader's success lies not in the metrics or financial performance of the organization, but in the ability to foster an environment where employees are eager to start their workweek. By prioritizing employee satisfaction and creating a positive, supportive culture, leaders can unlock the full potential of their teams and drive sustainable, long-term success.

Through his engaging and relatable storytelling, Harkins invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and consider how they can apply the principles of great leadership to their own professional endeavors.
