What Readers Say About THIRTEENERS
This is perhaps the best leadership book I have read in the past 10 years. Prosser knows his stuff and it comes from his personal, on the court leadership experience over 30 years, not academic theory. - JEB
I will read this book over and over again ... we have to remind ourselves on a regular basis how to think and therefore receive ... giving each of my 3 children and 2 other children very dear to my heart a personal copy ... it is my prayer that they read this now at an early age and continue to refer back to it throughout their lives ... thank you, Dan, for putting it all into words that make so much sense. - GR
Most successful transformations share two common characteristics: a clear mission that is supported by employees, and relentless execution (supported by a great plan, of course). In Prosser's Thirteeners, Daniel not only explains why it's important but how to build and lead that engaged workforce and promise-keeping system. Most importantly, he challenges readers to inventory their own behavior against a set of clear measures that will help leaders improve their own engagement and become one of the 13% of companies that are able to make a successful transformation. - RG
As I read Thirteeners I thought of the companies I'd worked for in the past in the context of the principles in this book. I wish they all had been following this wisdom. Despite management proclamations of goals and mission statements, we were never aligned in a common purpose. It was always "us and them." There was little accountability or connectedness or creating a future not based upon the past. Goals were incremental. - GRL
This book is truly unique! In a world of content overload about every topic imaginable, the idea of another business book on leadership did not create a burning desire within me to read it - however, the utter respect I had for the people who recommended it to me, and the first few pages, quickly altered my context for why this was THE BOOK, I needed to read now! - MM
