The Treasure You Seek
Archie L. Jones
(Author)
Description
Leadership, Harvard Business School professor Archie L. Jones, Jr. explains, is not about title or status, but about influence and impact. Leadership capital consists of the resources you have that can empower you to work with others to achieve your goal.
In The Treasure You Seek, Archie L. Jones, Jr. shares his lessons in leadership--focused on the notion of leadership capital and the 5 Cs (capability, culture, communication, connection, and confidence). Each of the 5 Cs is a tool for readers to develop and deploy leadership capital in order to achieve whatever success means to them--their treasure. In treating each of the 5 Cs, he lays out his own experience and walks the reader though the building blocks of developing and then leveraging that "C."
This book is for aspiring entrepreneurs--which, to Archie L. Jones, Jr., just means "someone with a dream," whether to start a business and build an empire, start a nonprofit to change the world, or simply to be upwardly mobile and change one's own life. This book is not just for "leaders" in a narrow sense, but is for those looking to advance in their lives or careers, to take their game to the next level, as well as for coaches who are working with people in this position. Jones' messages have resonated with corporate leaders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and students at many levels across the world.

your leadership capital aka "the currency of change". His
coaching superpower comes through the conversational read

"Good leaders provide direction, purpose, and reason for
a group or organization to follow. They also share their
knowledge, wisdom, and experience with others. Their leadership
becomes a calling to serve others. Archie is a leader
who has risen to his position through his actions and his
words. His thoughts on leadership and influence are clear,
specific, and on target in today's business and social climate."
David A. Thomas, PhD
President, Morehouse College
"Archie has the rare ability to make anyone look deeper at
themselves and see new possibilities for their lives. His leadership
capital framework can apply to people and leaders from
all walks of life, even those who may have never recognized
that they are a leader themselves. If you don't know what
your superpower is yet, this book will help you discover it."
Everette Taylor

"There is no greater aha moment than figuring out your
superpower. The Treasure You Seek is an inspiring book that
clearly lays out a powerful roadmap to finding one's superpower.
This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to become
a more effective and more fulfilled leader."

"As I read Archie's book, all bells started to go off in my head!
His early career leadership lessons are very impactful and
resonate very much with me. At 32 years old I was one of
the youngest CFOs of a NYSE listed company with a team
of about 1,000 people under my responsibility. My early
approach to leadership was purely transactional. I thought
my job was just about getting my team to perform certain
tasks that I directed them to do. I even made the mistake of
trying to perform 'management by email.' I was so wrong!
I wish I had Archie's book early in my career and had then
learned his concept of 'leadership capital.' I would have been
much more effective and impactful! And it would have saved
me many mistakes."

"In The Treasure You Seek, Archie Jones navigates readers
through his remarkable personal story and provides an
essential, heartfelt, and strategic guide to leadership in today's
business climate. Archie powerfully illustrates the importance
of harnessing community to both shape and achieve
the "treasure" at the heart of a successful business world
journey. The Treasure You Seek provides an emerging generation
of previously underinvested business leaders concrete
guidance on how to develop and own their trajectories and,
ultimately, their success."
