I'm from a small North Texas town and now find myself half a world away in Sydney, Australia. My story is of a journey that began with a tragic accident outside Augusta, Georgia, which set me on a path to discover a set of tools and principles that have guided my success as a husband, father, TV producer, entrepreneur, and consultant. Now I'm on a mission to share my successes, failures, and learnings as a way to pay it forward. That's why 10 Leading Tools exists. This project became a passion and is now my purpose. If I can impact one life to think differently about their ability to be a leader, then I have done my job.

The Greatest Tips and Tools Ever!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

I read this book from cover to cover and could hardly put it down. The author gave practical, thought-provoking tips on leadership. I loved his humor, wit and transparency as he shared from a lot of life's experience. I wish this book was mandatory for all leaders, supervisors and managers. Very insightful!

Helps you think of leadership concepts in a different way.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2022

I had the privilege of reading this book “10 Leading Tools” and it was both informative and refreshing in the realm of leadership books. There are many great leadership books available but I feel KG Butler did a great job of adding a new and thought provoking leadership book instead of a how to lead book. This book allows you to identify which styles you may lean towards as well as showing you tools that can help you see leadership opportunities in ways we are maybe unfamiliar or accustom to.

G.I.O. Stood out to me because I am a realist through and through so I agree with your definition of optimism and it completely made me think.

The create a current tool is very real since this has truly motivated me. I have often thought of writing a book since I have a friend that wrote a book which made me think about it. However, once I read this book it created the activation of my current. We never NEED to see someone else BE BOLD but it sure doesn’t hurt. I am very dependent on information based decisions and I love the fact that this book could be a resource to my BOLD step in writing a book of my own.

Author Marshall Goldsmith “What got you here won’t get you there”. That’s powerful…. You hear people all the time say I’ve managed 30 people or taught this many or been driving this long etc. That’s what got them to where they are but they will need to evolve to get to where they want to be or the aforementioned “there”. I love this I ran with it so many ways mentally.“Too full” is a great depiction of this and the example is a perfect reflection of the lesson.

In conclusion for me as referenced in this book I have been exposed to a lot of these concepts throughout life, family and employment. However, this book was very (emphasized) successful at providing an opportunity for me to think about these concepts in a different way. I definitely identified areas I need improvement on and subjects I can grow and develop or evolve in. I learned so much about the author personally which allowed me as the reader to identify and invest in his NEW STORY.

I also took advice sometimes using the proverbial “shoe on the other foot” mentality. I am typically all about the action and less on the words. I can take from advice from this book which is supported by the foundation of action to each rule. I also can learn that like in “Learn a new language” sometimes my language of action action action may not always be appropriate in order to lead my team, wife or coworker at the moment their language is needed.

I not only purchased me a copy of this book but I also got some to gift to people I think who would really enjoy and benefit from this knowledge provided.

Congrats on a great book to the author and I highly recommend this book for everyone.

Nice layout of tools in a fresh perspective

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022

Do you know somebody that's smart, creative, and has the ideas to be great but never will be? And how many people do you know that are complete idiots yet are running things? There are some examples of those types in these charities, and the author does a wonderful job giving the run down on how they are stuck or got to the top. Understanding how this happens is crucial to aspiring to lead, so I wanted to mention that here. Good business minded self-help guide!

One for community leaders

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2022

There’s a crime crisis in southern cities at present. Kids in bad neighborhoods doing really bad things. Some people blame the parents. But it's the neighborhoods, and by fault the community leaders that are failing to clean them up; even kids with good parents are likely to become criminal if raised in a crime ridden neighborhood. The leaders of Jackson, Ms., in particular need to get this book and many like it to improve their thought processes on leadership.

Must Read for the Modern Leaders Mode

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022

As someone who received an advance copy from the author, and someone who has read many books on leadership I recommend this book! KG Butler's Modern Leaders Model expresses understanding of what I call the concept of servant leader. Leaders are there to help and guide those they lead to success which in turn makes them better leaders. KG Butler looks at who leaders are, "Leaders are who we are, not the result of what we do" (p. 35). KG Butler understands that results based leadership, skips and ignores serious issues. Who are those who lead? Butler views the whole person, not the microcosm of just the person in the position of leader. A leader is more than that one part of him/herself.

He looks at leaders being successful when they foster thinking that sees beyond the surface of the desired goal. One of the concepts expressed in this is his review of "Purpose Over Task." When leaders empower their personnel to see beyond the surface task, to grasp the intent of what the mission of the company is can and does deliver a happier client for each interaction.

KG delivers in this book an understanding of depth and importance of being of leading that is often lacking in leadership books. This is about leading! It is about leaders in a way rarely presented. It seeks to present good leaders as persons who are "wholesome" in their person first. Buy this book! Request KG as a speaker and you will find yourself asking why so many miss these points!

Made me feel tall as a mountain

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022

I seek out these books for the true self-help experience. Most fall flat and I'm left feeling less motivated than when I started. This book managed to crank me up several times and I got to enjoy getting busy with new energy and new ideas. Really needed this. Great work from an author new to me.

Smart business taught from hard won experience

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022

Hard knocks are the best teachers, and this author learned his well. Sharp writing, and a well presented true account of what happened in his life to motivate him to become a business leader. The strategy is easy to understand and the story is moving enough to make me want to try a few of these tools.

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022

This is a MUST for anyone in leadership or looking to improve their leadership skills. It's chock full of practical tips you can begin using today, and it's easy to understand and implement. It will help you change the way you look at leadership (in a good way) and is updated for modern situations and cultures. Definitely a great book!
