Note from Art: It’s a great time of year to think of the people doing the heavy lifting for you. What better gift than one filled with ideas, inspiration and a call to action in pursuit of great results. Any and all of my profits from the book sale here will be donated to a local Chicago-area Food Pantry during this Holiday Season.

The greatest praise any leadership writer can receive is a comment that something he/she wrote made a difference…that it resonated, prompted a new idea or importantly, stimulated action. I’ve been thrilled to receive comments like that from executives and managers at SAP Corporation, NeoPost, McHenry County College, Bell & Howell, Best Buy Corporation, HP as well as from dozens of professionals.

The format of this collection…short, fast-moving essays, organized into 10-different sections on topics ranging from: Surviving the Tough Days, to Creating High Performance Decisions to Developing Yourself, Surviving and Thriving in a a Political Environment, Developing Leadership Agility, Pursuing Greatness as a Leader and Professional, and others, has fit well in our time-challenged, over-taxed world.

Whether the reader was viewing this in Kindle format or in its 341 page paperback format, the feedback, particularly from those who frequently occupy airplane seats, has been gratifying. I look forward to putting the book in the hands of as many motivated professionals as possible. If we happen to help a few people along the way as outlined below, all the better!
