David Lapin, author of: "Lead by Greatness-How Character Can Power Your Success," is not only fascinating, he's in a league of his own with a world-view that encompasses his life in South Africa, his Rabbinical studies and his active and present life as a successful strategy consultant. While he doesn't necessarily trumpet that remarkable experience, in my opinion, it is part of what makes his book unique on both a personal and a professional level.
