This book will inspire you. It will change your life in ways you can’t know now, but you’ll understand completely once you’re done reading it.
It will also forever enhance the way you look at your role as a leader. That includes the way you lead at home, at work, in your community...and especially the way you lead you.

“A moving read. Over the past twenty years as a principal, I’ve always been interested in what makes an organization successful. For me, many of the characteristics of Thomas’ businesses are what I do. Being able to see them in a different light is very helpful and is confirmation for me that my beliefs are right. This book has the perfect blend of a human story line with excellent leadership practices. It keeps you involved while addressing not only thought provoking management skills, but a powerful philosophy of life.”

“There are a ton of books on leadership, but not since the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari (Robin Sharma) have I read a book that brings all the best leadership concepts together in one engaging tale. With each passing page I wished that I knew the leader described in this book. If even half of our political and corporate leaders operated in the manner so eloquently described in this book, the world would be an extraordinary place. After reading this book, I realized how important it is for each and every person to step up their leadership ability… starting with me!”
-K. Manieri
