Mark A. Mears Books

We are currently experiencing “The Great Resignation,” where many individuals are leaving the workforce or resigning themselves to a disengaged existence. Mark A. Mears redefines this period as “The Great Repurposing,” highlighting an opportunity to focus on what truly matters in life and work. He emphasizes that who we "serve" is more crucial than our why, as it can guide us to our why, how, and what. Mears argues that employees leave bad leaders, not bad companies, and that the best leaders are servant leaders who nurture our growth into our true purpose. In his book, Mears shares personal experiences as a C-Suite executive and insights from research and experts to introduce his 4 LEAF GROWTH model, based on “The Higher Power of 4s.” This model uses a leaf as a metaphor for growth, representing Leadership, Engagement, Accountability, and Fulfillment. Readers will learn to apply four holistic processes found in nature to help individuals and organizations discover purpose, achieve growth potential, and leave a meaningful legacy—what Mears calls paying it backward. As the world of work evolves, Mears invites you to embrace your growth journey. He is a seasoned author, speaker, and consultant with a history of driving innovation and profitability for major brands, currently serving as Chief Growth Officer for LEAF Growth Ventures, LLC.
