Leadership lessons from the Cherokee chief who transformed his nation
How one man helped turn the 300,000-strong nation from an organization in turmoil and disarray into a functional, progressive business/government entity
In Leadership Lessons of the Cherokee Nation, Chad ""Corntassel"" Smith introduces the 'Point A to Point B' leadership model'which is based on a traditional Cherokee prayer that encourages learning from different perspectives as the sun moves across the sky from sunrise to sunset.
This model illustrates that at Point A, people must have the humility to understand their place in space and time, as well as their strengths and weaknesses; Point B requires vision and an understanding of opportunities. The book helps readers negotiate the curves, detours and potholes between the two points.
• As chief of the Cherokee Nation, Smith used the book's leadership methods to create 5,000 jobs and increase assets from $150 million to $1.2 billion
• Smith's program had an economic impact on the local economy of $1 billion and grew their health care system from $18 million to $320 million of services
