Summary

More people need to step up. When we take responsibility for making change wherever we can, not only does it make our companies, communities, and the world better, but we are happier and more successful and have more fulfilling relationships. But all too often, we stop ourselves before we start. The problems seem too daunting, it’s another department’s responsibility, other people are the issue and we can’t change them, and so on. And so nothing ever changes. With his distinctive mix of inspiring storytelling and practical advice, John Izzo compassionately demolishes the most typical excuses, helps us see a way through common roadblocks, and enables anyone, anywhere, anytime to effectively bring about positive change by simply stepping up. Through numerous examples, Izzo shows that when one person steps up, it creates a wave of energy that encourages others to join in. Rather than regaling us with stories of extraordinary people and extraordinary deeds, Izzo tells us about regular people who see problems and decide - sometimes hesitantly, often uncertainly - to take that first step. Like them, each one of us can claim our power to change the world. From the bestselling author of The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die.

Simple and Effective

John Izzo offers a very simple and effective message to seeing the change you want to see, STEP UP and do something!

The message, you have probably heard many times before, is effective in that thr stories told to outline the effectiveness of stepping up are engaging and memorable.

This is quite possibly the only leadership book one needs to be a successful change agent period.

solidly entertaining and inspiring

I found this a nice blend of inspiration, story telling, encouragement, and examples. A worthwhile and noble project and the central message of taking responsibility for making things better is laudable. Nothing wildly new to me but if you're looking for a push to make some positive changes it's a good listen and I enjoyed the author's narration.

Poorly researched

Research examples they use to validate the opinions expressed are incorrect and patently false.
I concur with the results and ideas expressed (mostly) but the author uses far too much anecdotal evidence as hard science and is unfortunately wrong on key points making me doubt the validity of the rest.

Wasn't really as inspiring or capturing as expecte

It's a collection of inspiring stories of stepping up. However it fails to capture your attention or really inspire. Not sure if this is down to the book or to the narration...
