From The Publisher:

This book will change your life and your future!

Hundreds and thousands of readers from every walk of life are finding inspiration, empowerment and truly effective solutions with this very important book of our time.

You are there- in person with 100 of America's greatest leaders, such as Billionaire Bill Gates, the outspoken Ross Perot, the legendary Lee Iacocca, many superb female leaders like Cathleen Black and Peggy Dulaney, top notch CEO's like Jack Welch of GE, futurist John Naisbitt, motivators Tony Robbins and Stephen Covey and Cabinet Members, Robert Reich and Donna Shalala.

As each leader shares their life stories and secrets for success, you will benefit with well-proven practical ideas you can use right away in your own life. You will learn how to really improve personally and professionally.

The thesis for this book is that the best insights about charting a bold new future for leadership come from the leaders who are at the forefront of society. Drawing from one-on-one interviews with successful leaders, Lynne Joy McFarland, Larry Senn, and John Childress weave today's most complex leadership issues into a clear and comprehensive book that both describes these leadership challenges, and provides the reader with the tools for becoming a 21st Century leader.
