Sir Richard Evans, Chairman, British Aerospace

"In my personal dealings with Bill Trahant I have been continually impressed by his ability to relate intellectual models and concepts to the practicalities of day-to-day operations and the effect on individuals. He is one of those remarkable people who truly understands the dilemmas of leadership."
Errol Marshall, Chairman, Shell South Africa (PTY) Ltd.

"Authors Trahant and Burke have taken a novel approach in this book. They sat down with a wide variety of their clients and got them to describe, in their own words, what made them successful in managing business change. The result is some great storytelling, some great journalism, and a mother lode of insights that you can use to manage transformation or reengineering efforts in your own company!"
Mac McDonald, Director, Leadership & Performance Operation, Shell International B.V.

"Developing leaders for global responsibilities requires an in-depth understanding of those who have become role models for organizational change.

John Dimsdale, Washington Bureau Chief, "Marketplace", Public Radio International
