This is a practical guide to bold changeone to use immediately and often.

Elliot Weissbluth, CEO, HighTower Advisors
Being an entrepreneur isn't a profession. It's a condition or maybe an incurable disease. I'd say the same thing about being an agent of organizational change. Both rest on a belief that anything we're doing today, we can do better tomorrowif we have skills and tenacity. Dave Pottruck, who's been there and done that, points readers in the right direction.
Howard Tullman, CEO, 1871

I am fortunate to work for an organization with a very focused missionsustained competitive excellence at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The complicated part of our business is not deciding what to do, but rather how to do it. How do you make changes in a constituent-based organization where the constituents have equal passion but very different objectives and abilities? It is almost as if Dave Pottruck's book was written with us in mind. As practical as it is thoughtful, this is a must-read if you recognize the need for change but don't know where to start.
Scott Blackmun, CEO, United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee
Where others see challenges and problems, Dave Pottruck sees opportunities. Throughout my time with Dave at Charles Schwab, he sought out transformational change with greater and lesser success but always with an eye to opportunity. Dave moderates the complexity of change through simplified checklists and gives you confidence that you, too, can implement radical change.
Jan Hier-King, cofounder, Bicycle Financial; former CIO and head of human resources, Charles Schwab

I'll put the insights and wisdom of Stacking the Deck to good use!
John Denniston, president, St. Vincent de Paul Society, San Mateo County; former partner, Kleiner Perkins
