Daniel Harkavys The 7 Perspectives of Effective Leaders is one of a half-dozen must-reads if you are defining your purpose in life and business. His new book captures the essence of success in life and business. I began working with Daniel and Building Champions about a decade ago. All 7 Perspectives hold the potential to dramatically improve your decision-making and your influence and are highly valuable. For me, one of the biggest impacts is gaining the perspective of the Team. Daniel helped me to understand how I could better engage my team and leverage their insights. I began traveling the company, asking our people where we could improve. As a result, we have implemented hundreds of enhancements based on their suggestions. After each meeting, we summarize the notes and the actions we intend to take as a result of the feedback we received. These notes are sent to the entire company, which creates alignment and accountability to act on the feedback we have received. Today I am more engaged than ever before. I love my job, and we have created an organization that our people love working for, and this is all possible by seeking the perspective of our team!

Donald M. Burton , president, Evergreen Home Loans

As the CEO of a financial services company with 1,600 team members operating in thirty states, Ive relied on Daniel Harkavy as a mentor and coach for the past twenty-five years to challenge me and our leadership teams.

Its an easy-to-understand model for leaders to connect the dots to be much more effective for the organization and its goals. Thanks once again, Daniel, for another game changer!

Never has there been a more critical time than today to apply The 7 Perspectives of Effective Leaders . Daniel Harkavy offers that effective leaders can see the destination in their minds. It has been my experience that great leaders indeed have a vision and want to share their story. Its in that articulation and engagement that they are able to lead others to that vision. I have spent my career working with entrepreneurial leadership as well as leaders of long-established organizations across the globe to help them create a leadership legacy and assure a bright future. My goal has been and continues to be helping those leaders create organizational cultures where people tap-dance to work, where individuals get to do what they are good at and enjoy, and where they have the opportunity to work with great leaders, mentors, team members, and guests and customers, and a great brand. I believe Daniels book gives leaders a way to connect the dots of their leadership to a vision, not just for today, but how to get to tomorrow by engaging team members in that future state. His ability to help leaders determine and overcome blind spots at every juncture is necessary for every leader to consider.
