21 Lessons Learned in Leadership is a truly inspiring book. Ted Kulawiak understands that true leadership isn't about position or authority, but is about demonstrating integrity and vision and about giving people a reason to follow you. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Terry McDougall CEO, Terry B. McDougall Coaching Author of Winning the Game of Work I loved the concept of lessons that stemmed from unique stories. This book is so intimately written that I cried when I read Terry McDougall's account of leading during a tragic event that is a reminder to be a good and caring human as a foundation of effective leadership. Everyone should spare a little time to read this book that is jam-packed with numerous tools to put in your leadership toolkit. Erika Orris, Executive VP, HackerU 21 Lessons Learned in Leadership stands out as a smart, sincere, and thoughtful read. I highly recommend as all 21 lessons provide sound advice with practical, easy to follow stories associated with each lesson. I would consider this a must read for any leader looking to strengthen their skills and overall results. Elise Awwad, COO Higher Education Ted's approach to writing as well as his views on leadership are practical, illustrative, thoughtful and above all else, insightful. This book contains valuable, applications-oriented information and a lifetime worth of important lessons learned in sales, management and leadership. Rick Borowiak, Director of Training Ted captures experiences in life lessons that are truly wonderful from which to learn. These are thoughtful stories that can be passed on to all leaders at any stage in their career. This is a leadership book to be consumed and shared! Wayne Brantley, President, 360 Training Solutions Ted provides interesting and compelling real-life examples of true leadership that provide substance to the term. His lessons learned remind me of both superior and inferior leadership situations and why I've always tried to exhibit true leadership-by-example for my teams. Bill Geary, CFO The stories contained in 21 Lessons Learned in Leadership will inspire anyone to be a better leader and human being. If the messages about humility, respect, teamwork and empowerment aren't crystal clear, then leadership shouldn't be part of your future. Linda Hoopes PhD, VP Higher Education Ted takes a genuine approach by providing a compilation of short lessons and first-hand experiences while acknowledging his personal influencers along the way. I often paused and self-related. This book is an easy read, relatable with a bit of personality and a twist of humor. Theresa Kennedy, The Coca-Cola Company I have read many leadership books, but this one is exceptional. This book makes actionable leadership more understandable through great easy to implement lessons. Bethany Moran, VP Higher Education This is not your run of the mill dry primer on leadership. The real life stories combined with Ted's wisdom and experiences make for an engaging and valuable read. Joyce Renneke, CTA Certified Life Coach
