Meet the ERs

Meet the ERs: The Four People You Meet on the Way to the Top is a sharp, engaging parable by Kevin D. Carr—former NBA executive and founder of PRO2CEO—designed to help listeners understand the behaviors that shape success in any workplace. Drawing from two decades of coaching athletes, executives, and teams, Carr introduces four distinct personality types that appear in every organization: the Blamer, the Clinger, the Leaper, and the Do-er.

Through the journey of Eric, an ambitious new apprentice at a top sports and entertainment agency, listeners witness how these “ERs” can spread like a workplace virus—derailing careers, damaging opportunities, and stunting growth. As Eric navigates the pressures of landing major endorsements for a challenging superstar client, he must learn how to identify these behaviors in others and, more importantly, in himself.

Packed with humor, real-world insight, and relatable situations, Meet the ERs reveals how mindset, accountability, adaptability, and attitude determine whether you rise or remain stuck. Carr shows listeners how to avoid the pitfalls of negative workplace behavior while embracing the habits that turn ordinary professionals into leaders.

Whether you’re a young professional, a manager, a coach, or a seasoned executive, this book offers a practical roadmap for transforming challenges into opportunity—and becoming the kind of Do-er who thrives at the top.
