""Many leadership books will inspire you to think differently, but very few will provide such an impressive list of actions to take. The book is aimed at CEOs, but it offers invaluable insights for any manager or senior leader who wants to enhance their impact. My advice: try not to finish it in one sitting--and take notes."" --Deepak Malhotra, professor, Harvard Business School; author, Negotiating the Impossible and The Peacemaker's Code; Founder, Kilmer AI.

In this book, he distills the hard-earned lessons of leadership and shows how strong relationships are the foundation of durable success. His perspective comes from real experience at the highest levels of business."" --Frank Del Rio, Founder of Oceania Cruises and President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
