What folks are saying...

"Whether as a board member for public and private companies or as the CEO of Adobe, I have coached and mentored many 100s of leaders. Chrismon's methods and leadership tools work — I’ve seen the evidence first hand. I strongly recommend you add this book to your leadership library.”  —Bruce Chizen; Former CEO, Adobe Systems Incorporated [NASDAQ: ADBE]; Oracle, Board of Directors [NYSE: ORCL]

“Leadership matters. It can be learned if the aspiring executive is open to the process. “One to Many” is not a magic curative, but rather a thoughtful guide to be used over and over throughout a career, not read just once and shelved.”   —Stephen Light; CEO, Xerium Technologies [NYSE: XRM]; Former CEO, Flow International [NASDAQ: FLOW]

“I have worked with Chrismon for over a decade. This book hits the sweet spot — read the book, use the tools, become a better leader — simple.”  —Thomas M. Lindquist; EVP and COO; Plum Creek Timber [NYSE: PCL]

“There are literally thousands of leadership models and perspectives. In The Shift From One to Many Dr. Nofsinger drives quickly to the essential elements and delivers a brilliantly simple set of leadership tools and frameworks. This is a short read that packs a punch.”  —Dr. Stewart I. Donaldson; Dean & Chair of Psychology; School of Behavioral & Organizational Sciences at Claremont Graduate University [Home to the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management]

“The Shift leadership model is common sense made actionable — I use the tools daily; and find the concepts equally helpful in coaching my team.”   —David Feringa; VP of Sales; F5 Networks [NASDAQ:FFIV]

“I have guided 100s of companies though strategic and go-to-market processes and in my experience its quality leadership, more than any other factor, that is key in a successful execution. Chrismon cuts through the fluff and gets down to the essential with a simple yet powerful framework for a leader in any stage.”  —Tom Kippola; Managing Director; The Chasm Group; co-author of bestselling book The Gorilla Game
