"(...) enjoyed reading it [Launching a Leadership Revolution]. I respect the approach you have
taken to address key leadership issues."

"Insightful, impeccably organized, well researched, and the best book on mentoring
available anywhere, Launching a Leadership Revolution is exactly the kind of leadership
training so desperately needed in the country."

and member of House Select Committee on Intelligence
"In my life I have heard many people use the word ‘Leader’ to describe the characteristics
of a particular person. It seems to be a word that can be used at will to explain
almost anyone. After reading and studying Launching a Leadership Revolution, I believe
anyone will have a much clearer understanding of what true leadership really is.
Not only will they think differently about the word when it is used to describe
others, but they will have an excellent blueprint to improve their own leadership
abilities and also to recognize and develop it in others."
Billy Florence, CEO and Founder of Ameliorate Inc., Johnny Carino’s Restaurant Ownership
Group
"The major themes and recommendations in Launching a Leadership Revolution rung
true based on my personal experiences during 40 years of wearing the USAF uniform.
This is an excellent primer for aspiring leaders and a great review for those who
are experienced. The book is also an excellent tool for those who are mentoring
emerging leaders. It was an easy read and quite enjoyable."
William J. Begert, Four Star General and Commander, Pacific Air Forces (USAF, Ret.);
current Vice President of Military Engines, Pratt Whitney
"A terrific new approach to how you can dramatically improve your leadership skills."
Donald T. Phillips, Bestselling author of the classic Lincoln on Leadership
"A Home run...a significant contribution to the field of leadership and leadership
development. This well-researched book will become a staple in the library of any
serious student of leadership."
James Hunter, Author of The Servant and The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle
"One can't become a good leader until they take their God given talents, learn the basics of leadership, and practice, practice and practice. Launching a Leadership Revolution helps provide a roadmap for that kind of leadership development."
Dick Posthumus, President and CEO of Compactico Inc., Senate Majority Leader of Michigan 1991-1998, Lieutenant Governor of Michigan 1999-2003
"Brady and Woodward offer a detailed examination of what defines a leader, the qualities necessary to fulfilling the role and the common path previous leaders have traveled toward achieving personal greatness. Initially self-published, this effort follows up the duo's earlier bestselling effort, Leading the Consumer Rebellion. Contending that "each of us has a natural wellspring of talent and ability buried within" and will eventually be thrust into a moment requiring leadership skills, they lay the groundwork for being prepared to perform when that opportunity arises. The leadership concepts are strengthened by anecdotes like one involving the New England Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady, who led his team to three Super Bowl wins despite a resounding lack of confidence in his ability to do so. But quotes on leadership from sources as diverse as Mark Twain and golfer Tiger Woods, often three and four to a paragraph, can get distracting. The authors also occasionally get carried away with charting their concepts and awkward metaphors (e.g., driving against the "traffic of mediocrity"; avoiding the "shoulder of frustration"). But overall, this manual is one from which any potential leader-whether of a country, corporation or a small staff—could draw insight. (Oct. 22)"
