| What
is an insight?
It’s
more than just a fact. It’s an understanding of how things
really are.
This remarkably
brief book delivers tons of truth about existing, surviving, moving
up, achieving leadership, delivering results, reaping rewards
... and ultimately finding self-perspective and satisfaction in
the world of Senior Management.
Only rarely
in any decade does a book capture, and bring new insights to,
an infinitely broad subject in just a few words.
This one does,
because it’s derived from a wealth of firsthand observation.
For over 30
years, John Lucht has been recruiting senior executives from CEO
on down...first for six years at Heidrick and Struggles, America’s
second-largest search firm, and for the past 24 years in his own
independent practice which, for the past ten years, has also included
outplacement and executive coaching at the highest levels of management.
For ten earlier years he, too, was an executive on the fast track
... acutely aware of the cultural and performance issues that
determine progress, rewards and — ultimately — personal
satisfaction among executives.
“It’s
been my privilege — and a fascinating pleasure —
to interview over 4,000 high-level executives,” he says.
“I’ve also come to know many of these men and women
on a far more informal and personal basis. Increasingly in recent
years, I’ve helped some of them with their interpersonal,
organizational, and even their operating concerns.”
“What
you and I are sharing together in this book comes mainly from
knowing, evaluating, and assisting so many senior executives.
Seeing what the most successful have done well — and others
less well — is the basis for the insights I’m passing
along to you,” says Lucht. “We’re both indebted
to lots of other fine people for what you’ll find here.”
Lucht’s
explanation, while accurate, is unduly modest. He’s not only
an astute observer, he’s also an expert communicator. His
Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+ (now with in-depth
Internet coverage) is the #1 bestselling text on executive job-changing
... as it has been ever since it first appeared over a decade
ago.
Readers agree.
The Chief
Human Resources Officer of one of America’s largest corporations
says:
“Sometimes
the finest things come in small packages, as does John Lucht’s
Insights for the Journey, by far the best book I’ve ever
read on senior executive leadership, performance and strategy.
Here are truths
you’ve never seen before, plus the basics we all should live
by ... now together in one book. Insights can elevate performance
while lowering stress and tension.”

From the person
who is probably America’s and the world’s best-known
executive recruiter comes this assessment:
“Profound
and important ... yet fun to read. Once won’t be enough!
John Lucht knows whereof he speaks.”
Gerard R.
Roche
Senior Chairman
Heidrick & Struggles International
The business
psychologist widely considered #1 authority in that field also
praises Insights and recommends multiple readings. He explains:
“An individual
is a different person at different times, and their changed circumstances
will change what they absorb from what they read.
After the
first reading,” he says, “put Journey on your night
table. It’s a book that will yield new insights after each
reading.”
John Drake,
Founder
Drake Beam Morin Inc.
The Chief
of Human Resources and Administration at a major Hi-Tech company
is enthusiastic about the use of Insights in building an outstanding
management team.
He calls it:
“The
ultimate executive development and counseling resource”
