Summary

When did our leaders become followers?

This is a time for responsibility. If you’re not going to finish this book, don’t start it.

The unique business problems we face today have rendered the old corporate playbook obsolete. Without it, executives scramble for guidance, only to discover everyone around them is just as lost.

JeVon’s people-first mindset guides his service as CEO of Scribe Media, a multimillion-dollar publishing company Entrepreneur magazine ranked America’s #1 Top Company Culture. The son of a Black pimp father and a White orphan mother on welfare, JeVon’s experiences demonstrate more than the old playbook’s issues—he’s living proof that we should throw it out.

In Modern Leader, JeVon opens a conversation to all leaders who want to be part of a new evolution in leadership. Business is about people, and true people-first leadership requires moving beyond the exclusionary framework of the past.

Don’t listen to this book unless you’re willing to evolve.This is a time for action. Don’t listen to this book if you’re not ready to take action.

If you’re looking for a playbook, you won’t find it here. This book isn’t a playbook. Because leadership isn’t a game.

Great read

I had the pleasure of meeting Jevon in Heston, with a group of Irish entrepreneurs. When he told his story, you could have heard a pin drop in the room. He’s an incredibly polished public speaker. When it came to q&a I had so many questions I just bought the audio book on the spot.

Interesting read about how business is not a one formula fits all and how people must all be judged on their individual circumstances and given a chance. He seems like the kind of boss one would aspire to be. Fair but also tough. I can definately see how he must motivate the staff around him. Yet has the extreme ownership to trust his gut and make the calls necessary to succeed. .

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
