How do you attract, inspire and empower the very best people to take your organization to the highest levels? With strong endorsements from leadership gurus Ken Blanchard and John Maxwell, along with executives in business, non-profit and government entities, Whitewashing the Fence is a masterpiece of clear thinking and practical advice with engaging models and useful tools. This book will inform your approach to leadership and transform your leadership culture. Drawing from Mark Twain's iconic tale of Tom Sawyer, as well as examples from sports, politics and other realms of influence, Whitewashing the Fence will boost your effectiveness, expand your influence and even bring more joy to your work. Your organization can be the kind of thriving enterprise that finds, keeps and inspires the highest and best out of high octane leaders. You can't miss reading this book if you're ready to step it up--to be your very best by drawing the best out of others. Read insightful observations and suggestions on building real accountability without squelching creativity and individuality. Discover the sure pathway to healthy relationship and clean communication between boards and CEOs, and then between CEOs and their associates. Celebrate the contributions and strategies of great leaders like John Wooden, Ronald Reagan and even Jesus, the central figure of the Christian faith. See what sets apart great winners in the world of sports like Michael Jordan and Joe Montana from others who were just as talented--even more talented--but far less successful. Whitewashing the Fence is readable, practical, credible and useful for every leader in any position of influence.
