Off-Centered Leadership

Acknowledgments

My first massive thank-you goes to all of my Dogfish Head coworkers, whose passion, talent, and sense of shared purpose make our company as special as it is. I want to thank beer lovers everywhere who have voted with their wallets and pocketbooks to support our off-centered company, buying the stuff we proudly make, and spreading the word about the joyful work we are doing here. A very big thank-you to Neil Shister for his valuable help editing and organizing my words and thoughts for many chapters in the first draft of this book, and for lots of great discussions shared over lots of great beers. Thanks to everyone at John Wiley & Sons—who published my first book, Brewing Up a Business, in addition to this one—and especially Shannon Vargo (my guide on both books!), Liz Gildea, and Matt Holt. Thanks to Missy Garnett for the great back-and-forth game of worddoc tennis-line edits we played together, bringing the final version of each chapter to the finish line. And boundless thanks to my wife, Mariah, and children, Grier and Sammy, for always being there for me and inspiring me every day!
