You can't help but be "Fired Up" when you read this book. Dr. Rudnesky's reminder to use experiences that shaped us through our lives to define the type of leader we can be, is both insightful and empowering. His encouragement to let our innate character traits, our ability to communicate and listen, our desire to serve, influence our leadership capabilities is empowering. Using team building to empower others and encouraging others to bring solutions to the table, helps when we need to set goals, lead a vision and live out our intentions. Let passion drive you and celebrate along the way! Keep pushing those boundaries!

While all of the domains are powerful, I stopped and reread Domain 5: Passion, several times. The proposal that "passion beats data every time" is one I have based my career on. Sparking change and shifting our language from "what if?" to "I am" is what I've been shouting from the rooftops for years. You will catch yourself nodding in agreement throughout the entire read. The inspirational ideas will undoubtedly assist other leaders to become FIRED UP to pay it forward, ignite passion and be the very best version of themselves - and support others in doing the same.
