Endorsements:

Every book reflects the personality of its author. This one shows us a man who thinks deeply, is a seeker of knowledge and obviously makes a note of each pearl he finds on the journey. Those many discoveries are generously shared with us.

The greatest compliment for any author is for readers to work right through to the end. And use the ideas and suggestions as a base from which to learn more. I did both with Tim’s book. And would urge you to follow that example.

Alec Hogg: Publisher and editor Biznews.com

Tim has turned out one of the most frequently written about topics into a practical handbook and guide. A leadership manual that surely all CEO’s, Business Executives, Managers, Government personnel, Sports leaders, Community leaders and Spiritual leaders, should have in their possession.

This comes as no surprise as Tim drives teams to realise their potential and supercede expectations. I have personally experienced him successfully aligning my leadership teams, effecting much needed change management and focus.

Dr Xolani H Mkhwanazi: Chairman BHP Billiton SA Limited

This is not a book to be read in several sessions, it is a book to be explored, pondered and acted upon. Tim has included many sources in his writing and provides a holistic, integrated and very ethical approach to leading self and others.

I know that in the hands of people who are yearning to change, this book will have a great impact and will ensure a personal growth and development that brings about lasting transformation.

Graham Power: Founder of the Global Day of Prayer and Unashamedly Ethical movements, Chairman of the Power Group of Companies

You find Tim becoming the mentor, friend and guide, that you need to gain traction in leading successfully within your sphere of influence. He writes with humour and clarity of thought, not holding back on owning “our own”, often jaded reality, and, showing us creatively how to move forward.

As you take the time to walk with Tim on this enlightening journey, you may well discover your life-story gaining fresh perspective within God’s Grand story.   

Murray Smith: Pastor Summerstrand United Church  

The timing of this book could not have been more appropriate. To resolve the current challenges South Africa faces constructively will require exceptional leadership and highly skilled management, across all sectors of our society.

Tim Shaw has succeeded in pulling together a comprehensive cutting edge collection of leadership material, which summarizes in a page what others would take chapters to complete. These are the innovative insights and latest thinking our leaders and managers need.

It must be a leadership coach and trainer’s dream to have it laid out in such an engaging format. I look forward to seeing these ideas take root and develop the potential that exists in our country.
