Tomorrow's Leader How the Best Leaders Become Better in a Fast-Changing World

"Tomorrow's Leader: How the Best Leaders Become Better in a Fast-Changing World" presents simple, actionable steps that anyone can follow to find their leadership style, have more influence, and even overcome anxiety as a leader.

Author John Laurito knows that being a leader is a teachable—and learnable—skill. He has spent his career studying, practicing, and teaching leadership. His motivation for the book is not to just share the concepts of leadership but also to teach you how to apply them to your own career. You may discover that tomorrow's leader can be you!

The book begins with the art of self-leadership, which describes setting a course, following it, and correcting as you go. It is important to practice these techniques for yourself before teaching others.

Laurito then takes readers on what he calls the "Journey to Leadership," explaining how to set and achieve goals, the different styles of successful leadership, and the importance of trust within an organization.

The unique storytelling also includes overarching questions about leadership:
• What makes great leaders successful?
• How do effective leaders influence others to achieve great things?
• How do leaders inspire people, sometimes from very diverse backgrounds, to unite behind a shared vision?
• How can one person make a phenomenal difference in the world around them?

Laurito developed his leadership skills throughout a 20-plus-year career in positions at Concord Wealth Management, the Boston Agency of Penn Mutual Life Company, and Ameriprise Financial, where he earned status as a turnaround agent. Today, he has earned an international reputation, teaching leadership to standing-room-only workshops and in private coaching sessions worldwide.

Through his two decades running organizations, John Laurito has had a passion for learning and teaching top-level leadership.

He spent 18 years with Ameriprise Financial in various roles such as financial advisor, Field Vice President, and Regional Vice President. He earned the Outstanding Leader Award and Diamond Ring Club honors through numerous accomplishments, including raising the office in Hartford, CT from #100 in the country to #1 under his leadership.

Most recently, he served as President & CEO of Concord Wealth Management, the Boston Agency of Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company for seven years, where he led the company to more than triple in size. Under his leadership, the agency garnered recognition several times as one of Boston Globe's Top Places to Work and as one of Expertise's Best Financial Advisors of 2017.

Penn Mutual has recognized the agency's success in many ways, granting Laurito's teams with two President's Awards, three Excellence Awards, and the Manager of the Year Award to three different managers.

He left the corporate world in 2020 to focus full time on The Laurito Group, which is dedicated to educating future generations of leaders. He also regularly speaks at universities, companies, organizations, conferences, and business events on topics ranging from leadership to personal achievement.

Laurito graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in Economics. He currently resides in North Carolina with his two children, Nick and Skylar.
