Review

“Leadership is navigation—lots of choices, hazards, and currents. The future will require great clarity of direction, but great flexibility of execution. You will need this Compass to find and hold your clarity.”

Bob Johansen, Distinguished Fellow, Institute for the Future and author of The New Leadership Literacies

"You’ll want a copy of Compass! The authors have done a brilliant job of combining a ‘self-help’ book for leaders with a guide for professionals who are in the business of developing leaders. As a leader, the book is like having your own personal coach with its wealth of insights, self-reflective questions and useful online tools. As an Industrial/Organizational psychologist, I appreciate the years of research that underpin the ideas and the potential to apply the many resources for executive leadership programs I develop and deliver."

Vicki L. Flaherty, Ph.D., IBM Executive Leadership Development

“Leaders today are compelled to embrace the notion that striving to learn new and valuable leadership practices is critical to success. This book will assist in confirming strengths, diagnosing weaknesses, and providing highly practical advice that will take your leadership skills – and those of your team – to a higher level.”

Janice C. Kreamer, Chairman of the Board, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
