These experiences have shaped him and his approach to leadership, resulting in a book which is both insightful and educational for all of those who aspire to be leaders rather than just managers.”

The ability to connect the leader through Caring, Context, Clarity, Clearing the Way, and Celebrating, are the fundamentals of creating a CULTURE of creativity, alignment, and playing together as one team. These operating principles are valuable for every leader at every level to connect with teammates and co-workers to ensure mutual success. We should all embrace the Leadership Star and make it our own.”
