He offers practical steps to achieve the goal of leading well in our lives through creating a vision, communicating that vision, and living it in simple yet powerful ways.

Praise for Everyday Leadership

"A book that truly speaks to everyone...Always practical, often inspiring, this is more a reference book than a self-improvement text, and a great read for any would-be leader."
—Roger Penske, owner of Penske Corporation and Penske Racing

"Sound, practical advice driven home with real-world examples....This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the lives of others in their community, their business, or their family."
—Dennis W. Archer, former mayor of Detroit

"Everyday Leadership is a treasure chest of engaging stories, practical tips, and rich insights into how we each can make a difference in the world when we take responsibility for the personal power that we have....once you've taken Everyday Leadership to heart you'll leave this world a little bit better than you found it."
—Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge

"Everyday Leadership taught me as much about how to be a better person as it did about being a better leader. In fact, it revealed how much the two are the same. Excellent and helpful reading for anyone."
—Marianne Williamson, author of Return to Love and Everyday Grace
