Gallup CEO Jim Clifton has pointed out that, “an increasing number of people in the world are miserable, hopeless, suffering, and becoming dangerously unhappy”. Something is profoundly wrong, and it must be addressed. Dr. Trevor Blattner’s thesis detailed in Redefining The Top 1% is simple. Leaders must break away from the current trend of despair and self-destruction by becoming a leader of themselves and those around them. And not just any sort of leader, but a very particular type of leader. They must become a Shepherd Leader. Reaching the Top 1% in one’s field, wealth, and influence is not an accident. It is as simple as learning the systematic process of how to behave, think, and perform like those in The Top 1%. It is achievable by anyone willing to follow the step-by-step behaviors and actions laid out in Redefining The Top 1% . The Top 1% System and Shepherd Leadership are not about being hard-core and arrogant, but rather about performing at absolute maximum capacity.
