Charles Holley is an Award-winning author and International Speaker who specializes in Racial Healing, Communication, and Inspiration. As a Race Dialogue Specialist, he transforms contentious racial topics into warm conversations. A thirty-year business professional, he earned a BS/BA in Business Administration, a Master of Biblical Counseling, and is trained in Visionary Communication from Toastmasters International.

He was born the youngest of seventeen siblings to poor farmers in Alabama during the Civil Rights movement. As a child he suffered from a severe speech impediment and low self-esteem but overcame to become the first college graduate in his family. He met and married his college sweet-heart, and they were blessed with two beautiful children.

Tragedy launched his writing career. At age thirteen, his son suddenly went into cardiac arrest and collapsed while playing basketball at his middle school. He died moments later—the result of an unknown heart condition called ARVD. Charles fell into deep depression but used writing as a coping mechanism. He penned his first book entitled When Flowers Fade which was chosen for review by the publisher.

Charles has written several inspirational books including an autobiography entitled Soar Above the Pain: Inspiration for Difficult Times. With so much racial tension on the rise, Charles has made racial healing his mission. With a rich past steeped in Civil Rights history and a soft but persuasive tone, he continues to make emotional connections with audiences around the world and deliver life-changing messages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful playbook for leaders
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021

I’ve been in executive leadership for more than 25-years and I’ve witnessed the struggles leaders face with handling the extreme populations of their workforce – poor performers and top performers. This book is a easy to read guide that can serve leaders well as they struggle to challenge and motivate their highest of performers. I also believe the skills and lessons the author suggests may be used effectively to plan development strategies for those poor performers by using the 7 areas discussed in this work as coaching moments to help them feel more empowered and possibly change their performance. The reflection questions the author has included serve well as talking points for both leaders and high performers.

5.0 out of 5 stars True leadership is not insecure
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021

This is the message I got from this book.

A true leader allows others to disagree, even challenge the status quo. The author repeatedly challenges the reader to create this type of work environment. The employees must not only have permission to challenge higher powers, but FEEL this freedom to do so.

The end of each chapter asks questions to help the reader make a personal evaluation of him/herself.

I love this inward examination approach. Loved the book, hence the 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic Management Primer
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2021

This book begins with quotes of five star reviews, a pitch for its author’s services in workforce training, and reprise of an article he published in Forbes. The book’s title mentions “7 needs of high performing employees.” True to the magic number 7, the book is divided into seven chapters, dealing with receptivity, innovation, trust, performance, organizational change, individual challenges, and personalities. Most of the chapter titles contain the word “me” or “my.” I realize the book is about recognizing the contributions of high performers, but combining the upfront reviews, Forbes citation, and chapter titles almost turned me off. The subtitle—"what exceptional employees are reluctant to tell management”—also bothered me. Literally, it means that “exceptional” employees are cowards. In my experience, that’s not true. They tend to be truth-tellers, often outspoken. On the other hand, it’s unfair to judge any book based on subtitles, quotations, or chapter titles. What matters is content. The number seven is a convenient way to package the wisdom in this one, with a happy resonance with Steven Covey’s popular book with a similar title. The topics covered all make sense and are obvious to anyone with a modicum of management experience. If they’re news, the person does not belong in a management position. Successful ones respect their subordinates enough to listen to them, implement promising ideas, delegate authority to the competent, keep current on the need for organizational change, and know their people well enough to understand their individual challenges and personalities. That’s management 101. This book would be good for seeking management positions, novices, and as a review of the obligations managers have to those they supervise.

The author shares his experience on how to build good relationships with employees. The Book certainly helps managers communicate with staff and treat the best high-performing employees. High-performing employees need coaching and feedback to pursue growth and improvement. As human beings, we want to be praised and recognized for our efforts. It’s basic human psychology and science: we get a rush of feel-good hormones, like dopamine, when we are praised for a job well done. Great book to read!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read on how to manage high-performing employees
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book is a straight-forward manual on how to motivate high performers. This book can help managers work with their highest-performing team members in a way that continues to motivate them and get the most out. There are solid tips and tricks that can be implemented for every aspect of working with a high-performing individual. I am not a big fan of the how the book starts with a large amount of self-promotion of reviews material promotion, but the content itself was quite helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars These 7 Needs are Spot On
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021

Author uses personal stories frequently to illustrate his point, which not only helped to clarify the 'need', but drew me into the scenario. I appreciated the research throughout the book that backed up his theories, as well. Finally, I have experienced most of the scenarios he describes throughout the book, and with over 30 years of experience in sales, management, and entrepreneurship, I believe these 7 needs to be spot on.

Holley does a wonderful job of getting to the core of management/employee relationships. While citing some real world examples, he deftly moves from topic to topic. Though some of the lessons here may seem simple, we've all run into managers who could benefit from reading this. Simply written but exceptionally important.
