Acknowledgments

Since I believe that leadership is ever evolving, I want to acknowledge and thank all of the wonderful clients and extraordinary people I have worked with around the world. Each one has added to my personal view and worldview of what it means to be a leader and a follower in the twenty-first century.

During the writing of this book there were people who added their talents, skills, inspiration, and support through the stages from initial ideas to finished manuscript. Each in his own way made this book possible, for without these combined contributions, I would still have just an outline in some file on my computer.

To each I give my heartfelt thanks. In the beginning, Dale Fethering did a yeomans job helping me craft the book proposal and the first two chapters into a saleable book. My colleague Chris Widener referred me to the DSM Literary Agency and Doris Michaels and Delia Berrigan Fakis, whose enthusiastic representation and support were and are invaluable.

The team at Penguin Group saw the possibilities when others did not: Leslie Gelbman, publisher; Susan Allison, editorial director; my editors Denise Silvestro, Adrienne Avila, and the indispensable Meredith Giordan, who made the back-and-forth smooth and fun. Im indebted to text designer Tiffany Estreicher; copy editor Joan Matthews; Craig Burke, vice president of publicity; Liz Hanslik, director of advertising and promotion; and Rick Pascocello, vice president of marketing, and his team of sales representatives, who have had so many creative ideas.

Michelle Durant in Albuquerque provided critical transcription services for the interviews and was always there when I needed her. The artistic approach to the graphics was brought to life by Erin Dangar. I would run an idea by Erin and she would make it come alive, often with a better approach than I first envisioned. Quite literally, I would not have enjoyed writing the book without her. My friend and colleague Wally Nieburt provided the two cartoons; his humorous approach to serious matters always adds a touch of lightness that any book on leadership needs.

I am not an early morning person, so I could not have gone to print with this book without thanking the family of people at KDFC classical radio station here in San Francisco: Hoyt Smith, Betsy OConner, Dianne Nicolini, Rick Malone, John Evans, and program director Bill Lueth. Thanks for helping me to get into gear each morning and taking me through the day. I take them with me when I travel by listening online. The music was inspirational and their good humor gave me the smiles and the occasional laugh when I needed a break from the intensity of the writing.

Thanks to photographer Tom Tracy and web masters Barry Epstein and Pat Riley at Ovation Solutions, who gave my website a new look to match this new book, for all your patience and imagination. I have worked with Sean and Stacey Frame at Frame-by-Frame Productions for twenty years, and would like to thank them for their always super contributions.
