Customer Reviews

A tremendous resource
Earlier this year I found myself unexpectedly thrust into a situation where I became the interim CEO of a small company. Although the book was not primarily directed at me as a CEO I found it extremely practical and helpful as I navigated my way through an unexpectedly new situation. I would recommend it for any professional or executive who must manage others who execute!

CPA Review
As a CPA-trained professional, one of my greatest managerial challenges was making the transition from a technician to a manager and a leader. I wish I had this book to guide me through that difficult process. My learning curve would have been much faster and certainly more successful. I highly recommend this book to first-time supervisors, as well as experienced managers. The concepts and lessons are intuitive, insightful and timeless. This is required reading for anyone who has responsibility for managing other individuals.

CEO reviews
As a CEO of a financial services company, I receive many books to review that are primarily focused on strategy or vision. While both of those are important to the healthy growth of a company, I tend to see the same philosophies described in different words. This book is different. It reveals the principles of leading in a refreshingly simple manner. The focus of the book is achieving results through leadership and it offers powerful insights to all levels of management. Our executives and management team intend to recommend it to all those in a leadership role and to those who desire to lead in the future
