Mario McCracken
“This week at my leadership team meeting with my direct reports, I set the tone by being vulnerable and sharing with them my self-reflection of not being the leader I know I need to be. Then I followed your guidance on setting a vision statement, resetting our team expectations, defined accountability, created a strategic plan…I just wanted to say thank you. I knew the direction I wanted to go but your book really outlined it for me in the very best way. Feels so good to have a reset for 2020.”

Wow! This book is the right balance of insight and practical advice for today’s leaders. If you are going to read one book for 2020 to grow as a leader, this is the one. I’m reading through a second time and have made more notes in margins and pages than ever before. Inspired and encouraged as I can lead others more effectively through these methods taught. Just purchased 4 more for my managers!
