Entrepreneurship; Management: leadership & motivation

Leadership, Harvard Business School professor Archie L. Jones, Jr. explains, is not about title or status, but about influence and impact. Leadership capital consists of the resources you have that can empower you to work with others to achieve your goal.

In The Treasure You Seek, Archie L. Jones, Jr. shares his lessons in leadership—focused on the notion of leadership capital and the 5 Cs (capability, culture, communication, connection, and confidence). Each of the 5 Cs is a tool for readers to develop and deploy leadership capital in order to achieve whatever success means to them—their treasure. In treating each of the 5 Cs, he lays out his own experience and walks the reader though the building blocks of developing and then leveraging that “C.”

This book is for aspiring entrepreneurs—which, to Archie L. Jones, Jr., just means “someone with a dream,” whether to start a business and build an empire, start a nonprofit to change the world, or simply to be upwardly mobile and change one’s own life. This book is not just for “leaders” in a narrow sense, but is for those looking to advance in their lives or careers, to take their game to the next level, as well as for coaches who are working with people in this position. Jones’ messages have resonated with corporate leaders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and students at many levels across the world.

Reviews for The Treasure You Seek: A Guide to Developing and Leveraging Your Leadership Capital

"""Archie Jones breaks down how to define, assess, and improve your leadership capital aka ""the currency of change"". His coaching superpower comes through the conversational read peppered with examples and questions for your reflection. The Treasure You Seek offers a framework for closing the leadership gap on the road to unlocking your full potential."" Laetitia Tiani Vessah Principal, Leo Legacy; Harvard Business School Alumni/Former Student of Archie Jones ""Good leaders provide direction, purpose, and reason for a group or organization to follow. They also share their knowledge, wisdom, and experience with others. Their leadership becomes a calling to serve others. Archie is a leader who has risen to his position through his actions and his words. His thoughts on leadership and influence are clear, specific, and on target in today's business and social climate."" David A. Thomas, PhD President, Morehouse College ""Archie has the rare ability to make anyone look deeper at themselves and see new possibilities for their lives. His leadership capital framework can apply to people and leaders from all walks of life, even those who may have never recognized that they are a leader themselves. If you don't know what your superpower is yet, this book will help you discover it."" Everette Taylor CEO, Kickstarter ""There is no greater aha moment than figuring out your superpower. The Treasure You Seek is an inspiring book that clearly lays out a powerful roadmap to finding one's superpower. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to become a more effective and more fulfilled leader."" Vanessa Kirsch Founder-in-Residence and Senior Partner, New Profit Inc. ""As I read Archie's book, all bells started to go off in my head! His early career leadership lessons are very impactful and resonate very much with me. At 32 years old I was one of the youngest CFOs of a NYSE listed company with a team of about 1,000 people under my responsibility. My early approach to leadership was purely transactional. I thought my job was just about getting my team to perform certain tasks that I directed them to do. I even made the mistake of trying to perform 'management by email.' I was so wrong! I wish I had Archie's book early in my career and had then learned his concept of 'leadership capital.' I would have been much more effective and impactful! And it would have saved me many mistakes."" Alvaro Rodriguez-Arregui Cofounder, IGNIA; Former Chairman of the Board, ACCION ""In The Treasure You Seek, Archie Jones navigates readers through his remarkable personal story and provides an essential, heartfelt, and strategic guide to leadership in today's business climate. Archie powerfully illustrates the importance of harnessing community to both shape and achieve the ""treasure"" at the heart of a successful business world journey. The Treasure You Seek provides an emerging generation of previously underinvested business leaders concrete guidance on how to develop and own their trajectories and, ultimately, their success.""
