Other reviews include: “Kevin Eikenberry has poor timing. And he cuts in line. And, oh yeah, he makes you think. This may sound like a really odd way to start a book review, especially a very positive one. I received Kevin's book, Remarkable Leadership - Unleashing Your Leadership Potential One Skill At a Time, late last week. I wish he'd been a little earlier. I would have changed my reading list for the new leadership class I'm teaching this fall (hence, the poor timing).”
“Regular visitors to the Turn will know that I have been talking about Kevin Eikenberry’s new book, “Remarkable Leadership” for some time; in fact anybody that knows anything about leadership has been talking about it – and finally the big day is here at last: I requested special permission from my great editor Doug Hanna to return for one post, so that I could be part of this “Remarkable” day.”
