Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. — Peter Drucker

This last quote is powerful. Leaders who know where they are going and take those who follow them on their journey can experience higher levels of success than those who don't.

Unfortunately, many leaders don't know how to lead effectively, and their companies suffer because of their inability to adapt, grow, and thrive during challenging times.

That's why Michael Cantu and I wrote our best-selling Amazon book, No-Nonsense Digital Transformation —to help business leaders who fall into both categories.

And it's not just about how to digitally transform organizations. In it, we talk extensively on topics such as how to shift mindset, change culture, and how to build great teams. Business leaders who instill these qualities in their organizations have a greater capacity to build stronger foundations, which in turn can lead to increased productivity and profitability.

In a nutshell, we've created a roadmap to manage change in your business effectively. So, the book is not just for digital transformation fans!
