    KANSAS CITY, MO, June 03, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Philip Hickman is a career educator and student at the same time with concentration in educational leadership and is now a best-selling author.

His new book, "Execution By Firing Squad: Effective Leadership When You're The Target" Dr. Hickman takes you through a particularly horrible experience as a superintendent for a Mississippi school district, and tells a tale in which he recounts how he became more determined more than ever before to pursue his mission to bring innovation and leadership to American schools. On this quest, he has gathered vital tips and advice for educators, parents, officials, academics, professors and leaders in any industry alike to learn from.

In a recent interview with Steve Kidd, the host of Thriving Entrepreneur radio show, Dr. Hickman said, "You have to get people to buy into the vision. One of the easiest ways to get people to buy into the vision, is that you sell the problem, not the solution. A lot of people get stuck at selling the solution. […] So once, from a cognitive standpoint, they have that shared understanding that there's a problem, then they're more susceptible to listen to and come up with collaboratively what solutions there are to change it."
