Unlikely Allies: 8 Steps to Bridging Divides That Impact Leadership

The level of venom, the intensity and frequency of the readers' rants in the daily newspaper compelled the publication's news reporter to call me for an interview. "Some of the language in the rants was so graphic, they were unsuitable for print," he said. Wow They were talking about me. Have you ever felt like you've been hit by a brick or punched in the stomach? Well, that is how I felt at that particular moment when he shared the comment with me. In spite of the graphic description that some people had of me, it's important to stay true to who you are. I've lived my life being optimistic and positive, building bridges, nurturing relationships, working with diverse groups of people, serving others, communicating, and providing effective and proven leadership - oftentimes under duress, uncertainty, limited resources, and being misunderstood. This book will show you how I did it and how you can overcome negative publicity, adversity, challenges, and develop leadership skills that will impact your life and others for years to come.
