Tom Voccola - The Accidental CEO

Tom, Thanks for your insight. Yours is not merely a book about Leadership (which by the way is brilliant and thought provoking), it is a book about life. I was thinking that if I was to live some of the learnings (and reminders) from your book, then I would lead a much fuller life and impact my surroundings positively. 

I have long been a supporter of the inverted pyramid, and you have given it new meaning especially from the point of view of Management layers and Leaders being empowered by their people. It is as challenging as it is powerful and I believe GREAT Leaders already do (instinctively) or will adopt your credo on this. How Powerful.

I shall keep your book handy as my reminder whenever I feel I am letting myself (and as a result others) down, and ensure that "who I am is what I bring to each situation in life".

A heart-felt thank you. Aldo.
