This is a book bursting with profound wisdom gained from real-life experiences. It is a book to be retained as a valuable reference to anyone in a leadership position. I highly recommend it! Herb Oberg, Sergeant USMC retired; Captain, Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, Washington, retired I am really impressed with the insightful pearls of wisdom that are packed into 131 pages. It really reads well. I think this book will appeal to people of varied occupations, gender, and interests. David Smith, Principal, Whitwell Elementary School, Whitwell, Tennessee This is a great book, very to the point and easy to read, which I believe is the key to a book that appeals to a wide group. Peter Foy, Chief Executive Officer, PCF Insurance Services, Woodland Hills, CA This book is a must-read for all leaders who desire to see their business or organization grow and succeed. This is not your basic ho-hum leadership book. Gausman's unique and transparent approach to leadership is woven between personal examples from fly fishing and numerous personal vocational experiences. His unique observations and clearly spelled out tried and true leadership principles will encourage you to step it up to become a better leader. As a leader who works cross-culturally in leadership training, I was personally challenged by the book and am looking forward to sharing these valuable leadership insights, possibly with a fishing rod and coachman fly in hand.
