Clarity First: How Smart Leaders and Organizations Achieve Outstanding Performance

Acknowledgments

 

Though I’ve written four previous books, I’m struck again by how collaborative the writing and publishing process is. No book comes to be solely through the work of the author, and I’m deeply grateful to all who’ve played a role in Clarity First.

First, I carry deep gratitude to Laura Starita and Tim Ogden of Sona Partners, the masters of ideas and words. You served as my thinking partners by telling me my last paragraph in a chapter should be the first; helping me strike the balance between tough love, empathy, and actionable advice; continuing to help me find and trust my voice as a writer; and introducing me to new cutting-edge research relevant to the topic of clarity.

Thank you to Anthony Mejean, Shannon Burns, Gordon ...
