Publisher Comments:
Predict and Survive the Make-or-Break Crises You Will Face in the Course of Your Career
"Leadership Passages describes systematically that it is far more effective and compelling to build on both successes and failures, rather than trying to overlook or even ignore the valuable lessons that unavoidable adversity in both our personal and business lives can teach us."
–Daniel Vasella, chairman and CEO, Novartis
"If you want to succeed and have inner peace at the same time, then this book is for you."
–Ram Charan, coauthor, Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done
"Leadership Passages describes in direct, simple, and honest language how human beings become great leaders. Filled with wisdom, insight, and practical advice from three world-class coaches–reading this book is like attending and completing a senior-level leadership program, or spending a week with the best executive coach."
–Linda Clark-Santos, senior vice president, Talent & Organizational Capability of Washington Mutual
"Do careers stop when we are passed over, have a bad boss, or just blow it? Not according to this book. Great leaders pick themselves up and move on, learning while they go forward. Leadership Passages shows us how."
–Ken Blanchard, coauthor, The One Minute Manager® and The Secret
"This breakthrough book on leadership development is filled with practical advice on ways to lead others and ways to learn from your life as well as your career. We all know that experience is a teacher, but Dotlich, Noel, and Walker show us why!"
–Joe Berardino, vice chairman, Sciens Capital Management LLC, and former chairman and CEO, Andersen Worldwide

It is interesting that in last night's session of Dale Carnegie Course, we were talking about Leadership too. My instructor said: Do things right, then others will follow! :)
