Here's what some have said about "Who Will Do What By When?":
I believe it to
be the best and simplest form of leading a team or a company
ever.
I struggle with which
part I found to be the best part. It's a tie between the
perspective section, (Oakley's) and the part about negotiating time
lines for things to be completed, (the by when).
They both spark
thoughts that I refer back to all the time. The oakleys I force
myself to remember all the time. I have to remind myself all the
time that he/she may not see things the way I do and that's ok. It
also reminds me that I can only control what I say, but I have a
limited control on what they hear.
And the "By when" part
comes to mind every time I am in an unproductive staff meeting. I
end up taking the reigns and throwing your language out there with
things like, ok with that said, can we have a volunteer to get that
done or should we assign that duty to someone and when can we
expect that to get done. It really speeds up productivity,
dramatically.
So an overwhelming
thanks to you and your wife for the help.

Your book is a gem that uses the
simplicity and wisdom of a parable to teach the reader the true
secret of success -- acting with integrity. If more employees
followed the wisdom in this little book, corporate life as we know
it would be changed forever.
- Cheryl
Richardson, Author of the New York Times
bestselling book "Take Time for Your
Life"
The
Hanson's book easily reminds us of the small but subtle ways we
undermine (and therefore can regain) our power to make things
happen. If these simple habits were the norm, the world would
be a better place."
- David Allen, Best-selling
author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress Free
Productivity
Your approach is direct and easy to follow. I learned more in my
first session with you than I had reading all those self-help
books for
years.
- Wayne Blockel,

Your book is not
just for CEO’s and managers. The simple tools can help us be
more effective in all our relationships. It’s sort of Human
Relationships
101.

Your class was
extremely insightful, informative, and fun. I have
gained useful tools and a support system that will help me
move forward. I highly recommend your seminar and the
personal follow-up
coaching.
- Laurie Scheer,

I’ve read tons of
leadership books in my life and I’d
rank this among the best.
I can put that chart right in front of me and use it to guide me
through any interpersonal challenges I have. And it’s not just a
leadership book; as a leader you’d want your staff to read it, it
will put you all in the same
mindset.

CEO, Otterness Construction Company
Our coaching session

the birth of a brand new business for me---an opportunity I
had not even seen before! My energy and enthusiasm
is coming back in leaps and
bounds.
- Nancy Trowbridge

This book will be show cased along side other
best sellers ‘One Minute Manager’ and ‘Who Moved My Cheese’
as a fulfilling read with a high-impact story. I was
totally captivated by this powerful
book.
Your profound
insights and practical suggestions have made me more aware
and proactive in my relationships, career and daily
life. I only wish I could have started working with you
years before I
did.

We all know that there
have been many books written about performance, communication
and leading a positive life. This is one of the few that
combines these important topics concisely and presents the
lessons in an engaging and entertaining style. I'm excited to
start improving how I interact and communicate with my
teammates and my
clients.

I couldn’t put this book down!
The integrity tools outlined in this book are not only a
guide to good business; they apply to every aspect of your
life as well. Your system makes it easy to
understand, share and use. I have no doubt this will
change the culture of organizations including
mine!
- Bill Fries,

I
got a lot out of our coaching. You made me think about things in a new
way and held me accountable each week. By sticking to the
deadlines and goals we set I got a lot accomplished. Thank you so
much.

I found the book to be the best guide to
being a good manager and a good person that I have come
across. I am going request my group of
managers read and share it with their
supervisors.

This
book is fantastic. After reading more than half of it before trying
to go to sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about the basic team
building principles Coach was teaching Jake so I got back up and
finished the entire book. Great characters and easy and delightful
reading.
- Keith
Guevara, CEO, NBO Systems, Inc.
The book effectively
illustrates how great business and personal goals can be
achieved through integrity… an often overlooked element in
today’s
society.
- Bill Bardwell, CEO, Biometric Security
Company
Terrific!
The book brings a new definition to the power integrity carries in the
workplace. Something as seemingly harmless as being continuously
late for meetings carries a big price in terms of how you are perceived
in the office or at home and results in integrity depletion. The
book offers a simple model for corrective action. I recommend it
highly.
- Bill Hearl,
Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Capital Genomix,
Inc.
This book communicates in a clear and
precise manner how every leader can sustain, motivate, and
inspire. I found the book a 'must read' for
those wishing to get to and stay at the
top.
- Dr. Ben Lerner N.Y. Times best selling author of "Body By
God"
In addition to the
invaluable team productivity principles it teaches, the book
provides an example of the power of coaching. People
considering hiring a coach get a taste of how coaching works
and how huge the return on investment can be. It’s made a big difference in my
life.
- Tom Trexler, CEO,
Corporate Finance Institute
I am feeling more
confident about myself and have been more assertive. I
highly recommend you to anyone who feels a bit unorganized,
overwhelmed and short on
time
Who Will Do What by When is a
compelling story with a vitally important message. It's
a great personal reminder of the importance of following
through and doing what you say you are going to do. It
also highlights the importance of not making promises you
can't or don't intend to
keep.
