I make my living by studying culture and then sharing insights and observations that make people laugh. But creating the culture of an organization is no laughing matter. Peoples lives and livelihoods are at stake. And yet, I think some of the same process applies. You must study the culture of your organization and then share insights and other observations that inspire and motivate people. This book is filled with such insights. If you study and apply them, well, then who knows, you might be Remarkable!

Dr. Randy Ross and David Salyers do a brilliant job connecting familiar processes (like how a clutch works in a car) with a simple, yet profound explanation of how these same processes can be applied to build a business, hire the right staff, create customer loyalty, and measure success from a fresh perspective. The story format is entertaining to read and makes it easy to remember the principles. Get two highlighters to read this book. I needed one color for ideas to implement personally, and the second was to make it easy to revisit the great training ideas!

Remarkable! takes the entire philosophy behind associate engagement to the next level. As leaders we are required to create a positive work environment where people have the opportunity to express giftedness and achieve something greater than self. But this takes the next step. Instead of just putting the onus of engagement on the employer, Remarkable! suggests that the associate must then make a choice to engage and contribute to the organization and its mission. Only then can both the employer and the employee fully realize their potential. This is an easy-to-read, powerful message.

Scott MacLellan, CEO, TouchPoint Support Services

Randy Ross and David Salyers have hit the nail on the head with this book. They actually model what they teach, and what they embody is what I wish college graduates all over the world could understandthat finding the right job means adding value, not extracting it from an organization. May this book spread like wildfire.
