Global Leadership And Human Resources Professional Marvin A. Russell Synthesizes His Experience On The Gridiron With The Strategies He Has Learned In The Boardroom In This Inspirational Guide About The Tenacity And Perseverance Necessary To Be A Successful Leader Anywhere

International leadership and human resources professional and collegiate national football champion Marvin A. Russell announced today the release of Linebacker in the Boardroom: Lessons in Life and Leadership, published by Outskirts Press. Russell’s philosophy of leadership goes beyond football, beyond sports and beyond the world of corporate life to provide readers with the personal inspiration they need to reach the excellence and accountability necessary for success in any area of life.
After growing up in a small Pennsylvania factory town, Russell went on to graduate from the University of Notre Dame, earning his National Championship football ring as a linebacker for the Fighting Irish.>From there he travelled the world as an HR executive strategist and talent development specialist and later as a much sought-after leadership consultant to C-Suite executives and those in the boardrooms of multi-billion dollar corporations. Along the way he molded and evolved his own lessons in leadership from the multitude of experiences – both successes and failures – and key global events in recent history (such as the civil rights movement, 1968 Olympics, and the war on terror).
“My lessons in tenacity and perseverance and hard work can help anyone be successful in their own lives,” writes Russell, who has pared down these lessons to the easily grasped concepts of 3E Leadership™ and Finding Your Impact Zone™ and reinforced with thought-provoking principles he refers to as Marvisms.
His 3E Leadership™ philosophy and approach defines and demands Essential, Exceptional and Ethical attributes in our leaders. It is a model for behavioral competence that outlines the game-changing fundamental tools needed to transform anyone into a high performer. Your Impact Zone are those points ripe for an individual to differentiate themself and make a distinct and unique impact on others and the world around them.

Whether a member or leaderof a business work team, community-based organization, an athletic team or a religious group; whether a senior executive of small or global corporations, a college graduate just beginning a career in the corporate world or public sector; a student or embarking on a career change, one can benefit from Marv’s easy-to-follow road map to attaining successful leadership qualities.
