Ivonne Alexander and Jeffrey L. Krug have created a magnificent Resource for Leadership in the 21st Century. This is not a book you will put on the shelf. Because it’s a Resource you will want it prominently positioned on your desk, within arm’s reach. The busy world and economy we live in demands Leadership capable of immediate decision and action. This Leadership doesn’t come from your average person. It comes from Achievers who are always busy moving forward, paying it forward if you will. That’s the number one reason why this book will be on every Achiever’s desk. Goals and using their time effectively are the main character traits of Achievers in the 21st Century.

"Congratulations Jeff and Ivonne, your book captures the essence of grasping the necessary tools to grow as a Christian leader. It recognizes God has gifted many with the wonderful ability of leadership, Romans 12:6-8, and these words light the path to becoming a better Godly leader. Jeffrey and Ivonne remind us that to be successful we must edify Christ in our secular walk just as we edify Him in our Spiritual walk. He will bless and grow us when we apply proven principles while welcoming God into our leadership world. I encourage you to grow, with Christ, and in your abilities that God has blessed you with. This book will be a bedside friend to supplement God’s word and encourage you to study and show yourself approved, all to Glorify God."

"The book, Stop Wasting Your Time & Start Doing What Matters Most!, surprised me immensely. Not only is it a masterpiece of essential knowledge and techniques on time mastery and goal setting, the sections on leadership appear to have been received from a much higher and more evolved civilization!
By the title, I was expecting a step-by-step guide to time management and getting things done, which I usually find very dry and boring, yet this book is anything but that. I found the section called Commitments from the Heart of Leadership
particularly inspiring, and rarely do you see the word love
mixed in with leader
. It was refreshing to read how a fully evolved leader will speak, act, and model to others. Also, the Leadership Higher Inner Commitments
and the Big 12 Inspirations that Nurture the Leadership Spirit
are like sacred texts and are beautiful, poetic precepts that will touch you to your deepest core when you read them.
In this day and age, when we are seeing leaders of many corporations and organizations becoming corrupted and eventually convicted of using deception, this book will serve to repattern the shadow self of power in leadership so that true leaders will have an ethical, integral guide to acting in line with their employees’, clients’, and shareholders’ best interests in not only mind, but also HEART. I truly believe that incorporating the heart into leadership while also mastering time management and goal setting will create new leaders who are WHOLE, service-oriented, and true team players.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in evolving their leadership and time management skills."

The book is an absolute must read for the individual, educational and corporate environment; a true inspiration and guidance for those who desire to realize their goals and dreams in life, and embody their inner leader in its full potential."

"As a leader of a small financial services company, I am always looking for inspirational content designed to help me improve my leadership ability. To me, this involves embracing two requirements: the mental acumen and stamina required to effectively lead people and a set of tools to enable the leader to achieve the desired results in a given situation. Jeff and Ivonne have provided both with this instructional. Alternating between visionary and practical chapters, their prose creates a
