Leadocracy also hit #1 on the July 15 Wall Street Journal Hardcover Business list and #2 on the Wall Street Journal Hardcover Nonfiction best-sellers list.

Leadocracy presents a pragmatic solution to our nation’s number one problem: a void of great leaders in government. Smart encourages more of our great leaders, particularly from the private sector, to commit to public service. Leadocracy explains why great leaders avoid government; how the “3 As of Leadership” can help us identify, hire, and become better leaders; how we can avoid non-leader candidates; and how the adrenaline rush of “flow” can offer leaders from the private sector the adventure of a lifetime.

All proceeds from Leadocracy will be donated to The Leaders Initiative, a nonprofit founded by the author with the goal of creating positive public service leadership experiences and drawing more strong business leaders into government.

Geoff Smart is chairman and CEO of ghSMART, a leadership firm. He is the co-author of the NY Times bestseller Who: The A Method for Hiring and serves as founding chairman of SmartKids leadership Program and The Leaders Initiative.

Leadocracy is Greenleaf’s 23rd book to reach bestseller status in rankings that include The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
