Leadership Above the Rim

“In Leadership Above the Rim, Orlando Ceaser takes his years of leadership experience and communicates it clearly. This book will inspire, educate and challenge all who read it.”



-Mike Patterson

President, On Track Leadership



“Leadership Above the Rim is a must-read for any and everyone interested in career development. The busy manager or executive will find the poetry insightful and rich in content. When I emailed a few of the poems through my network, several members and sponsor companies commented on how much they learned and how applicable the poems were to their development. One Fortune 500 company HR Director forwarded the poems to several managers in her company as suggested readings. I know you are going to enjoy the poetry contained in this book as much as I did.”

“Leadership seminars today are most successful when the realities of corporate competition are sensitively addressed. Orlando does this with his insightful poem, “Eagles in Cages.” Leaders in corporations reside at all levels of the corporate structure. There are those who have realized their career goals, and those resigned to reside where their career paths ended. Orlando’s poetry gives life to a reality which can be changed by leaders who are willing to boldly self-assess their level of resignation or motivation at each stage of their career.”



-Kimberly A. Farrell

“The analogies intertwined with life experiences shared by Orlando let you know he is not just writing about them, but he has lived them. The poems are both inspirational and motivational and the messages relate to persons of various ages. It made me relive the positive things of my youth.”
