No-Compromise Leadership cuts through the myriad excuses, emotional blockages and procrastination that sabotage companies and careers. As author Neil Ducoff explains in his book, just as no-compromise is a mode of thinking and a discipline, so is compromise. Both are choices and both require discipline. Clearly, compromise offers the path of least resistance. It’s easier to avoid a leadership responsibility than to do it. It’s easier to avoid financial accountability than to do it. It’s easier to avoid addressing a difficult employee’s behavior issues than to do it. It’s easier to deliver mediocre rather than world class customer service.


So why embrace a no-compromise standard? Because compromising behavior as seemingly-insignificant as different policies for different employees, lack of structure and systems, ad hoc decision-making, and disregard for budgets inevitably sap productivity, profits, and vital customer and employee relationships.


Ducoff should know. For the last four decades, the internationally-recognized business expert has personally coached over 3500 companies, many of them on the brink of failure when he started. “Through it all, I have seen firsthand the anguish, financial devastation and remnants of great dreams that were all contaminated by compromise,” he says. Filled with real world examples and outcomes, No-Compromise Leadership is more than a fresh new theory on how to be a successful leader. Ducoff has created a new model that may re-engineer how companies should run.
