    About this ebook

    NOW A USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER!

    What are your limits? Care to break them?

    To inspire change in yourself and your team, you must break free from what's holding you down.

    In Elevate, award-winning CEO and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Robert Glazer reveals four life-changing principles—or capacities—that will allow you to overcome self-limiting beliefs, establish positive habits, find your core principles, and build more rewarding personal and professional relationships. As we look to elevate ourselves, we must do so much more than beating the competition, because our greatest competition is ourselves! We need to find ways to consistently outperform ourselves and our own expectations.

    Robert has built a career on accelerating productivity and careers. Elevate is based on his four foundational elements necessary for elevating our performance:

    1. Spiritual: Who you are, what you want most and the standards you live by.
    2. Intellectual: How you think, learn, plan and execute with discipline
    3. Physical: Your health, well-being and physical performance
    4. Emotional: Your ability to overcome challenging situations, your emotional mindset and the quality of your relationships.

    Elevate explores each of these elements in detail and offers actionable tips you can use to start improving today.

    The key is elevating yourself beyond the edge of your current abilities. Challenge yourself, and the result will inspire others to rise along with you. It's time to break free of your limits.

    Foreword

    by Stewart D. Friedman

    Professor of Management Practice, Emeritus, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, author of Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life

    Since the 1980s, I’ve been in the business of discovering and sharing practical, evidence-based knowledge about how to build leadership capacity in all parts of life. In the early days of this work, the concept of leaders pursuing integration among the different parts of their lives was far out of the mainstream. It’s inspiring to see that the zeitgeist has changed, and that the legitimate demand for useful knowledge about creating harmony in our lives has exploded. A generation of thought leaders are emerging to fill the need in this era; they are thought leaders who bring great talent and rich experience to bear on articulating wisdom that rests on the understanding that leadership in business is no longer just about business, it’s about life.

    Bob Glazer is one such thinker. In Elevate, he shares readily applicable ideas for how to understand and cultivate the interconnected elements that make us who we are as distinct individuals, what I refer to as the domain of the private self—our spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional lives. He shows how these four pieces, explored both separately and as part of an integrated whole, offer a blueprint for personal and professional achievement. On the foundation of a philosophy rooted in a commitment to continually learning, Glazer boosts our understanding of the importance of knowing what we want. This knowledge is always hard won; it takes courage, because to identify your core values requires choice, which is often accompanied by anxiety. On every page, Glazer’s advice is both encouraging and realistic, just as his particular emphasis on raising expectations is both smart and optimistic. His hopeful view, which I share, is that we all have more capacity than we believe. We just have to pursue this idea and enlist the support of those around us who want to see us succeed in producing value for our world.

    The good news is that this can be done, and this book helps point the way. Leaders who elevate both themselves and their people will see the greatest success in these turbulent times. So hold on for the great ride that Bob Glazer is going to take you on in this zestful read of a book. He’s curated a terrific bunch of resources and examples you can use to get yourself to the next level of leadership capacity. It may not be comfortable or easy, but it will surely be worth your time and attention to obtain this wisdom and try it out for yourself. You are bound to see returns not just for you, but, more importantly, for the people who matter to you in your work, in your family, and in your community as you seek to make your contribution as a leader striving for harmony in our fractious world.

    Introduction

    If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

    —David Viscott

    Have you ever wondered why some individuals are consistently able to achieve at such a high level?

    They are always pushing forward and hitting their goals. They seem to be doing more with less, while the rest of us spin our wheels and don’t make as much progress. The same is
