"It's all about the people. While there are many books full of quotations on leadership this is a unique collection organized under 8 keys to success. Steven has managed to categorize insightful comments from a broad spectrum of international figures into meaningful clusters of effective leadership behaviors. The thread linking these statements together lie in Steven's own words when he wrote, "Leadership is about both people and results. If you have to neglect one, neglect the results for these will come in time when you have developed your people". This is a quick refresher for anyone currently in a leadership role and an inspiring road map for those interested in working with others. Keep it within arms reach and refer to it regularly."

"Read the aphorisms of great thinkers during every fragment of leisure. One could, with rich return, read the aphorisms of great thinkers during every fragment of leisure. In no other form can one find such condensed and undiluted wisdom, eloquently expressed as terse, tested Truth, justly preserved by wide consensus. As Will Durant says of the writing of Francis Bacon, "Rarely shall you find so much meat, so admirably dressed and flavored, in so small a dish." This book is a treasure trove of such practical wisdom. But it is not a book to be swallowed whole and abandoned to gather dust. Those genuinely interested in becoming better leaders would be wise to keep it handy, refer to it often to reflect on and embrace its profundity."

"Steven Howard has done it again. Great Leadership Words of Wisdom hits the target much like Steven's other publications on this subject! It is packed with inspiration and motivation for leaders at all levels. Steven’s belief that “leaders are made, not born” and his premise that “great leadership is an art” are based on years of hands-on experience and observation of leaders in the global workplace and classroom venue. His latest book is a useful reference for tips, models, and quotes to remain sharp, focused and motivated to effectively lead in today’s volatile world. This is a great book for emerging leaders and others from first line supervisor to C-suite."

"Quotes and a Commentary. Pertinent quotes are positioned in each chapter related to the topic set forth by the author. The commentary is good and sets up the quotes to follow through in solidifying the points made in the commentary. If you like good quotes on leadership, good commentary, and sound principles, you will like this book."
