“This powerful, practical book is full of proven ideas and strategies to help you get better results.”—Brian Tracy, author of How The Best Leaders Lead

Keep this book handy and refer to it often, and you will see longterm ROI for you and the people you are leading.”—Dr. Sheila Murray Bethel, best-selling author of A New Breed Of Leader

“Organizations that have CEOs and leaders with vision, compassion, and great communication skills always have an edge on their competition. As a former CEO, I know how my behavior and open communication influenced what employees and stakeholders understood and believed. David Rohlander has experienced the value of communication in his multi-faceted career and lays out a flight plan that breaks it down into manageable pieces for success.”—Howard Putnam, former CEO of Southwest Airlines, speaker, and author of The Winds of Turbulence
