True leadership is not about winning. It's about the people you bring with you to the finish line.

Congratulations! Your outstanding performance in the workplace has earned you the right to lead others because you have proven yourself in the trenches.

And therein lies the paradox. Instead of continuing to prove yourself, you must now learn to give to become a leader your team will follow.

To become a leader worth following you must first start by shifting your perspective and begin to formulate new habits. Something to Give walks you through this journey, making in you a leader worth following. Building on the Pattern for ExcellenceTM this leadership book will take you through the eight Ps of leadership:

PURPOSE: Understanding what it means as well as why it is important in leadership to have something to give over something to prove. PATTERN: Defining the principles that guide your leadership habits. PRINCIPLES:

Discovering the truths at the heart of those principles. PERFORMANCE:

Becoming one with the Pattern for Excellence as a leader-a representation of its meaning. PREPARATION:

Begin to practice service mindedness and giving over proving, even in the most uncertain times. PERSISTENCE: Confronting as well as pushing through the inevitable obstacles and difficulties that will stand in your way. PATIENCE:

Showing meekness and understanding while learning the power of delayed gratification. PERFECT: Experiencing what it means to feel complete in your journey to become a leader worth following.

Lasting change starts from the top. No one on your team will follow your lead if you are not living the change you want to see in them. Something to Give will show you how to bring your people with you to the finish line

Reviews for Something to Give: A Journey to Become A Leader Worth Following

"""This is a book written for those who want to learn from someone who isn't just theorizing but who is actually in the trenches, doing, and who has proven himself to be a great leader."" ⁠-Peter Skaggs, Owner/Sr. Loan Originator at Innovator Rates ""Something to Give is full of true principles. If learned and applied correctly, you can strengthen your abilities as a person and a leader. And as a result, those you lead will be happier and more successful in life and work as well."" ⁠-Bruce Rowe, President of Sebo Marketing ""The ideas found in Brigham's book taught me a services minded leadership approach to push past my breaking points. More importantly, I can better assist my team in pushing past their breaking points. Success has a much different definition for me now. True happiness, for me, comes from the success of the team."" ⁠-Crandal Shipley, owner of K Lund Mechanical ""Something to Give elevates anyone's understanding of how to live ... For those looking to make a true difference in the lives of others, especially within their organization, count on this as a must read."" ⁠-Nicholas Lamb, CEO of OutCode Software ""It is one thing to learn from someone who is an author of their theories and studies. It is quite another to learn from someone who actually lives the principles that he teaches. This is my favorite part of learning from Brigham. He also walks the walk."" ⁠-Roxanne Bennett, Owner of Bennett Events ""Something to Give is a book every leader should read. The stories are so relatable and the principles timeless. Brigham Dickinson is the real deal, a speaker and leader who practices what he preaches."" ⁠-Adrian Dayton, Founder and CEO of Clearview Social ""EXCELLENT. MEANINGFUL. ACTIONABLE. Timely release for foundational leaders in the current environment. Brigham does an incredible job providing both memorable and insightful examples that help leaders navigate their purpose with something to give."" -Chris Ensign, Partner at Encore Development ""Something to Give offers a fresh, new perspective on a leader's mindset. The inspiring stories show clear examples of how we can all get caught up in focusing on the wrong things. I love the action items-questions for reflection, worksheets, and my favorite: the step-by-step guide to creating a 20-hour work week. Brigham offers realistic ways to make changes in yourself as a leader with your family and your business."" -Janna Barlow, Co-owner and business director at Nani Swimwear"
