Adam Kreek

Learn the twelve principles of self-leadership, the most important factor in driving results and achieving success.

Adam Kreek has consistently defied the odds to find greater achievement in all facets of his life. After seventy-three days alone at sea, Kreek and his expedition team survived a capsize in the Bermuda Triangle, the subject of the Dateline NBC documentary Capsized. Four years earlier, Kreek won Olympic gold with his eight-man rowing team. A two-time Olympian, he holds sixty international medals and multiple hall of fame inductions.

In The Responsibility Ethic, Kreek shares the twelve essential principles of self-leadership that have fueled his incredible accomplishments—and shows you how to master these principles too.

Kreek is a powerful guide who teaches us how to realize our full potential at any stage of our career and lives. Drawing on his eight years of intensive Olympic training, near-death ocean expeditions, and career as an executive coach and corporate trainer, Kreek shares winning strategies from the trenches, where the strongest minds prevail.

A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, The Responsibility Ethic challenges business leaders globally to chase their ambitions and to take responsibility for their success.
