You Don’t Have to Be the Boss to Be a Leader:
Harness and Leverage Leadership Capital to Achieve Your Goals and Attain Your Treasure

Most leadership books are written for people who are already, you know, “leaders”—corporate execs, high-ranking managers, entrepreneurs. They aren’t going to speak to that disadvantaged young person with a dream to create a change in the world, or that entry-level employee with big ideas about how their organization could be better. But these people can have just as much capacity to lead as a CEO, and they can have just as much entrepreneurial drive as a startup founder. And they can benefit from lessons in leadership from an honest, authentic teacher and coach.

Leadership, as Archie L. Jones, Jr. tells it, is a power of social influence that maximizes the efforts of others toward the achievement of a goal. Anyone with a goal that they need to enlist others to help achieve is, at least potentially, a leader—whether they are a student or a professor at Harvard Business School.

In The Treasure You Seek, Archie L. Jones, Jr. sets out to share his lessons with a broader audience. Readers will learn how to establish, build, and leverage their leadership capital—their resources and influence—to achieve their goals. The treasure you seek may be social impact, political influence, productive community engagement, or creating and leading a healthy, happy family. Whatever treasure you seek, leadership capital is the resource to help you get there.
