About this ebook

The patterns we cultivate shape the person we each become.

Be Humble. Stay Hungry. Always Hustle. These powerful words describe the leader who is willing to work hard, get it done, and make sure it’s not about him or her; the leader who knows that influence is about developing the right habits for success.

Brad Lomenick, former president of Catalyst, shares his hard-earned insights from more than two decades of work alongside thought-leaders such as Jim Collins and Malcom Gladwell, Fortune 500 CEOs and start-up entrepreneurs.

Operating within the framework of three core character qualities – humble, hungry, hustle – Lomenick identifies 20 essential leadership habits that help readers embody those qualities, including:

• Staying open and sharing the real you with others
• Owning your convictions and sticking to your principles
• Developing an appetite for what’s next
• Pursuing innovation by staying current, creative, and engaged
• Demanding excellence by setting standards that scare you
• Fostering collaboration with colleagues and competitors

Offering practical steps to embrace these habits, H3 Leadership provides a simple but effective guide on how to lead well in whatever capacity the reader may be in.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great book about how to create habits with the 3 H's. I read the Catalyst leader and have been following Brad on the catalyst podcast for years and was sad to see him go. After reading this I gained even more respect for Brad and have come to enjoy his writing style as much as his podcast. H3 starts with a bang stating that 40% of our day is already decided when wewake up by habits. It then goes on to practically tell us how/what good habits to form in order to be humble, hungry, and hustle. I really enjoyed all the 'cameos' at the end of the chapters from industry leaders throwing in their own two cents as well. Cant wait to see what Brad's new venture is and I sure hope it includes another book but make sure to read this one first!
