"In a world where books on leadership fill libraries with biographies and memoirs and 'how to' volumes are in abundance this distillation of Mastering the Power of You is powerfully succinct. In a time when clear advice on how to be mindful of one's own leadership journey is generally in short supply this collaboration fills that void in an easy to read compelling way. I recommend this book to every leader as a way to remember why your leadership is so important, and why bringing your thoughtful authentic self to the problems we all face is powerful."
