In Praise of the Leadership Maker
"Once again Ralph puts the finishing touches on what many leaders already should know yet need to be reminded of from time to time. Assuming the responsibilities of leadership is really all about putting your ego in your back pocket and letting your people be the experts at what they do! Ralph very much gets this point across."
- Bret Watson, President Jotul North America
"Imagine sitting down over coffee with a valued mentor and getting his no nonsense take on the gist of effective leadership. This book is just like that. In his trademark down to earth manner, veteran leadership consultant, Ralph Twombly gives you a conversational, easy to integrate synopsis of what it takes to guide others (and yourself) to greater success. It's a quick and fun read and you'll definitely learn something - no matter where you are on your own leadership journey. "
