About this audiobook

“A straightforward presentation that promotes values of conduct most of us would be proud to share.”--Kirkus Reviews

“A myth-destroying book that will make you rethink both the theory and practice of leadership.” --Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

Pinpointing leaders is not an easy task. All managers know that within their organization there are certain key employees who are “sparks”—those rare individuals who have a natural drive not only to get the job done, but to go far beyond what is called for. These special employees truly get more accomplished in a day than others can in a week or more. These “sparks” are the unique and essential people in your workplace who can help transform your company in all sorts of magical ways. And it’s your job to find them, empower them, and enable them to become the true leaders they are destined to be.

Based on hard-earned insights and case studies gleaned from their military experience as well as corporate leadership training, Angie Morgan (U.S. Marine Corps), Courtney Lynch (U.S. Marine Corps), and Sean Lynch (U.S. Air Force) reveal how you can pinpoint the sparks within your ranks, and how you can unleash them to take your company to the next level.

Angie Morgan

Angie Morgan is a dynamic, creative thought leader who knows how to unlock the capability and talent of leaders at all levels. After serving as a Marine Corps officer, Angie led in pharmaceutical sales for Merck and Pfizer. She’s been a special advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on diversity initiatives, and engages routinely with boards and organizations to drive performance. Angie is an avid athlete — her competitive nature and motivation to win shows up in every client engagement as she inspires others to be their best. She is the cofounder of Lead Star, a leadership development firm that works with Fortune 500 companies, small- and mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and academic institutions, and the co-author (with Courtney Lynch) of Leading from the Front: No-Excuse Leadership Tactics For Women.

    Spark gave a unique and relevant take on what it really means to be a leader. I will be using this book as a guide for my department. No fluff. Just relevant content, chapter after chapter!

    I enjoyed this book about how to create success for yourself and inspire it for others. The three authors draw primarily from their own experiences as accomplished veterans of the Marines and Air Force, followed by their leadership of their own consulting firm. I found several valuable new insights and some poignant reminders of ideas I don't use enough. A favorite is: "A plan is a reference point for change."
