Daniel Edds Publications

Besides having articles accepted by national periodicals, Dan is the author of two books. His most recent book is, Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership, cracking the code of sustainable team performance (AVIVA Publishing, New York, 2020). This is the first book that uses case studies and first-person interviews to discover that high-impact organizations design their approach to Leadership as an organizational system. Case studies include education, manufacturing, industrial, small business, the U.S. Military, healthcare, and an NFL Superbowl Champion. This book is born from observing his clients over his twenty-five-year consulting practice. After completing wildly successful consulting engagements, he observed significant differences in results. Unfortunately, too many resulted in no improvement in organizational performance and employee engagement. In studying why, it became clear that the difference was Leadership. However, it was not individual leaders. Instead, the fault lay in leadership systems never designed to produce engaged employees and maximize stakeholder value. The result is a revolutionary new book that documents how high-impact organizations design leadership systems to engage their employee and deliver extraordinary customer value.
