His storytelling and ability to blend concise and actionable techniques to challenging situations help the reader connect immediately." BRUCE KLEIN, Senior VP U.S. Public Sector Theater, Cisco Systems "This book will get you out of the weeds and cause you to step back and look at the big picture of your leadership style. It will increase your selfawareness of how others are truly reacting to your behavior. Most importantly, it will provide you with an action plan to make a difference in others' lives and build powerful loyalty that results in positive business outcomes and lasting relationships." PAM O'CONNOR, President and CEO, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World&® "Once again, Mike Staver has taken us to a unique place in the practice of management and leadership. Over the years, Mike has been able to get to the exact heart of every issue that he explores in his speeches and writings. He brings a unique perspective to issues like customer service, company focus, and numerous other topics. With his new book, Leadership Isn't for Cowards, he drives home the unique concept that managers/leaders are 'messing with people's lives.' I found that to be an interesting yet sobering thought. It has caused me to realize that it is not appropriate to try to lead by the seat of my pants. It takes a lot more thought and preparation. This new book contains some great tools to help me get the job done better." LARRY R. STEVENS, President and CEO, Med One Capital Inc. "Mike Staver has an uncanny ability to get in your head and read your thoughts as a leader. He challenges you to look at who you are, who you THINK you are, and who you want to be. This book pushes you to have the courage to be an impactful and successful leader, while focusing on the 'must haves' in business AND the 'should haves.' This book can be careerchanging to those leaders open to growth." CASI DiLEVA, Vice President, Licensed Banker, and Insurance Program Manager, UnionBanc Investment Services "Leadership Isn't for Cowards puts leadership in the right perspective. The introduction about leadership is spot on and concurs with my experience. The book has forced me to answer important questions and to make subtle changes in my approach as a leader. I highly recommend you read this book regardless of whether you are in a leadership role or not. I found it enlightening as well as entertaining." HEINZ RUCH, President and CEO, Amplifon USA
