ABOUT TIM ALLSTON
Leadership Rooted in Humility, Growth & Purpose
Tim Allston is a leadership strategist, author, speaker, and recovering “ego-holic” whose life’s work focuses on empowering emerging leaders to lead with humility, clarity, and purpose.
Since 1977, he has served across multiple industries, including higher education, public relations, marketing, customer service, and communications. Throughout his career, he has received recognition for excellence in marketing/public relations, higher education administration, and customer service retention.
However, Tim believes his greatest calling emerged through a spiritual awakening that led him to identify and confront what he terms “ego-holism” — an unhealthy addiction to self that impacts leadership, relationships, organizations, and personal growth.
As the creator of the Ego-holism Recovering framework and the developing EMC² leadership concept, Tim now dedicates his platform to helping leaders transform challenges into growth opportunities while equipping others to lead effectively from the middle with servant-hearted influence, resilience, and authenticity.

TESTIMONIALS
What people say ?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I purchase a paperback copy in 2020 in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. I just finished the Kindle version in audio. Little did I know, I should have read it sooner. The way the author intertwines current events and servant leadership lessons makes this book a fascinating read. This is the first leadership book I've read and didn't feel like I heard this before.
Enjoyed this book on leadership... "How can we achieve #1-ness by embracing our #2-ness?" When God's plan is for you to lead, He will supply the resources. Sometimes leaders are #2.
Readability and rational narration
I found this book timely, on point and sociologically, politically and theologically sound. Very interesting ideation concerning "Silver Leaders". Looking forward to book #2 of 11.

This first of an upcoming 10-book series shows how to manage this Mother of All Addictions through applying the 10-step “tim commandments of ego-holism recovering.”
The U.S. Coronavirus Crisis and the Rise of the “Silver-Mettle” Leaders: 11 Steps up A SILVERPATH revealed five governors - national “leaders from the middle” - who seized the White House leadership void in addressing the country’s COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
More importantly, it introduced the challenges and perils - as well as the benefits and opportunities - of being number-two persons or “silver-mettle” leaders, in organizations such as families, social groups, workplaces and places of worship.

'Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it."
