"There is one thing worse than an overstressed organization or community; that is an overstressed and defeated feeling expressed within the ranks of leadership, responsible for being flexible in its approach for successfully influencing choice and change. "I can't – we can't" present pessimistic views that tear at the fabric of excellence." Your Paradigm of Choice influences your Paradigm of Change; an unspoken counseling to cynicism." – Damian D. "Skipper" Pitts, Author

Leadership development and Organizational Behavior is a companywide responsibility, stretching across all departments and functions. Damian D. "Skipper" Pitts, entrepreneur, executive trainer, and author of The Art of Detachment steps away from popular culture to face the challenges of organizational leadership and convincingly asserts that many of their problems exist because organizations simply do not adapt well to changing circumstances. This publication is designed for anyone who is charged with developing talent, leading a team, or achieving growth – no matter what industry or discipline. It bridges the gap between the "what-is" (theory) and the "how-to" (practice) in transformational thinking and cutting-edge research delivered through a nontraditional approach to learning strategy-execution.

The author describes a discipline of leadership that removes the harness away from performance management. The discipline helps its reader to gain a full understanding on how to realize a state where people come into a single way of thinking, without losing their individuality, creating a "shared-vision" that achieves a predetermined objective. In doing so, deconstructing types of influence, stratagem, and execution requires a level of leadership far above current reality and a way of thinking within popular culture. The end result remains on a continuum that instructs a systematic approach to acknowledging the multiple dimensions of process improvement: people, process, product, and productivity – how to integrate educational leadership as an everyday event; a journey that finds a "voice" and influences people to find theirs.

Throughout the book, Pitts demonstrates the value and importance of implementing democracy, organizational behavior, and leadership, the same amount moving in the same direction at one time, which articulates a journey that achieves an end-state of flawlessness. He also shows how to accomplish team building using strategies derived from the United States Marine Corps. But the linkages between those components, which are arguably as important as the components themselves, are sometimes left for the reader to discern.

Leadership on every level will have an opportunity to look through a lens of executive education unlike anything before. The discipline is used to increase value, strategy, principle, and trust that captures the essence of team learning to organizations seeking to: detach from negative behaviors and habits; create new paradigms; overcome resistance to change; and control outcomes within the future picture. This is achieved from a three-tiered approach; the individual, the team, and the organization. The "art" lies in the ability to instruct on the "whys" of the individual and organizations approach for reaching peak performance while integrating the tools used to optimize results. Pitts offers an examination into the many segments that births the constructs for building a Democratic Leadership society. The inherent conceptualized modeling is designed for overcoming the sectarian struggles of life and organizational development as a prescription to failure.

The publication also looks through a difficult lens of diversity and tackles the topic as a prominent disposition for leadership prospects to promote healthy environments of positive organizational behaviors. The discipline of Democratic Leadership integrates Flawless Meritocratic Systems, Microinequities -VS- Social Intelligence: inherited social systems which unfairly advantage some, and limits others (progress based on ability and talent rather than class privilege or wealth).

Throughout the book, Pitts demonstrates the critical importance of achieving personal mastery as the most sustainable means for achieving superior performance management. He also shows how to LEAD an organization with strength and confidence; THRIVE as a team across units and departments; THINK creatively, strategically, and with transformative thought; MEASURE an organization's determination, commitment, and innovation; and CONQUER challenges with a refreshed perspective to win as individuals and organizations build the components of a Democratic Leadership environment.

Indeed, the reader must work hard in other places, too, to make conceptual modeling and gaming theory the central focus for integrating solutions across the multidisciplinary approaches. In addition, the text helps its reader to UNCOVER the secrets of today's future leaders; learn to NETWORK with peers across various disciplines; how to INTERACT with small dynamic teams for tailored take-aways; HEAR personal accounts of what works and what does not; and RETURN to the workplace motivated, inspired, and transformed in thought to LEAD into greatness by finding a voice – and help others to find theirs!
