I've known Dan Lake for more than a decade, closer to two. One word summarizes him: character. Chapter 8 on "Question Best Practice" makes this whole book worth it. Ron Smith Th.D, Co-Founder, SBS International; Author of Read to Lead; This book helps any leader understand how important it is that they help bring Clarity in key areas, which helps shape Culture and how great Communication is critical for this. Read, reflect, learn and enjoy. Mark Powell, Independent Director; former-CEO, The Warehouse Group; Dan Lake has the gift of taking complex theories and breaking them down into easy to understand concepts. By using The Motivation Tree, Dan gave me clarity on how to help Millennials take action with their financial goals. The book is an enjoyable read that almost feels like a conversation but you come away with skills that are easy to put into action. Linda Sturgess, Head of Private Capital, Bank of New Zealand; A Good Leadership Book simplifies ideas so you can approach them one step at a time, brings them to life through memorable stories, provokes thinking and promotes the reader to take action. I recommend it as a must-read for every leader! Mark Watkins, VP of Sales & Delivery, JumpShift Development; Leadership is the greatest challenge and opportunity we face in the world today. The good news is that Leadership isnt some mystical, poorly understood art that is the preserve of a few. Its a mindset, a set of practices and approaches that we can all learn, practice and evolve for ourselves. Thats the beauty of Dans book. It truly is "A good leadership book", unpacking and demystifying great leadership. Its brilliantly accessible, deeply respectful of the reader and packed with insight and wisdom that you can apply, immediately. Carl Sanders-Edwards, Founder and CEO, Adeption; This is an insightful book on what it takes to be a leader in the modern world. It is full of tools, tips and strategies that will help both the new and experienced leader. The bite size sections make it easy to read for the leader on the go. Digest and apply. Nick Petrie, Co-Founder, Vertical Mindset Indicator; Reading A Good Leadership Book, I thought of the Mark Twain quote: I didnt have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead. This is no Twain letter! Instead, Dan has packed a thousand pages of wisdom into an engaging, fast-paced, and provocative guide thats a mere fraction of that length. Highly recommended! Jeff Grimshaw, partner, MGStrategy; Author of Five Frequencies and Leadership without Excuses
