For three decades, business strategist Glenn Llopis has worked with leaders and organizations ranging from emerging managers to Fortune 500 executives, observing the same pattern at different levels: people who are highly capable on paper can still become exhausted when their work, identity and values begin pulling in different directions.
It’s an experience Llopis knows firsthand. For the first 15 years of his career, Llopis says he was “performing” the successful executive rather than fully living as himself. The harder he worked to meet expectations and sustain his polished image, the less fulfilled he felt. Behind his accomplishments, something was happening that no performance review could measure: he was running out of fuel.
That personal experience informed three decades of leadership consulting, executive coaching and organizational transformation work, and now his sixth book, Earning Conviction: The Practice That Redirects Leaders from Exhausted to Unshakeable.
The book offers 101 specific redirects designed to help capable but exhausted professionals examine what is draining them, reconnect with who they are and build the conviction to make meaningful change sustainable.
“Capability is not conviction,” Llopis said. “Competence is what you perform; conviction is the earned capability to sustain who you are when every force pulls you back — and you cannot fake it or demand it.”
Included with the book is a companion assessment at convictiondiagnostic.theglennllopis.com, so readers can gauge their progress by repeating the assessment over time. Earning Conviction is for the capable and the tired — for anyone who has done everything right and still feels empty, and who is ready to stop pretending and start leading from something real.
Jeff Blue, the multi-platinum A&R executive producer behind Linkin Park’s record-breaking debut, Hybrid Theory, contributed the book’s foreword. He has high praise for Earning Conviction: “One force separates legends from the forgotten. It’s a force you can’t fake, manufacture or buy. It’s primal, passionate and contagious. That force is conviction. Glenn Llopis has done something I didn’t think was possible: he’s written the framework to find it, build it and lead from it.”
“Conviction is earned. Through self-awareness, through the choices you make when no one is watching, through the willingness to keep becoming rather than just maintaining,” Llopis added. “Through the redirects in this book, you’ll learn how to earn it, and you’ll see what changes in your leadership, your teams and your life when you do.”
