Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

The Authority Advantage: Building Thought Leadership Focused on Impact Not Ego is a work of non-fiction in the self-improvement and business subgenres. It is suitable for the general reading audience and was penned by author team Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton. It is intended for all those who wish to improve their leadership qualities and marketability as field experts without relying on outdated concepts involving corporate credentials and promoting ego over personality. In this comprehensive guide, the authors discuss the true nature of authority and its relationship to trust and help readers understand this delicate balance to build meaningful relationships with clients and companies who will respect and believe in their leadership as a result.

Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton offer an original work of business-minded advice that takes a deep look at human psychology and our social nature. I was fascinated by the apt examples and references that the authors use to support their ideas, which were highly credible and made perfect sense in line with the ethos of the work. The book is also organized in an accessible fashion that gradually builds on each idea without ever overwhelming the reader and is easy to navigate, allowing easy reference to specific areas. The work provides actionable advice that is practical and will achieve immediate results. I would not hesitate to recommend The Authority Advantage for leaders, speakers, consultants, and professionals everywhere that have a lot to offer in their field but don’t quite know how to express it effectively.
