When Leadership Improves, Everyone Wins

Nightly news is a frequent and unfortunate reminder of the shortfalls in leadership that our country is currently experiencing. John Keyser’s book, When Leadership Improves, Everyone Wins, is then not only timely but practical and credible as well. His pinpoint analysis of where problems lie and his thoughtful Rx is that of a seasoned executive and counselor. Keyser’s resume bespeaks a lifelong career of working in the trenches with a wide variety of clients who variously reflect the good, fair, and the not-so-good of corporate H.R.

For those desiring to make their organizations all that they can be, the 160 or so pages is organized and flows in a way that makes for easy and rewarding reading. In contrast to a number of similar works of this nature which are heavy in theory and description, most valuable is John showing how his words of wisdom might be profitably implemented. - Robert Klein, Butzel Long Tighe Patton, PLLC

“John Keyser provides an insightful and inspiring guide to how to be a principled leader. Keyser shows how leaders can shape their culture, and have a profound effect on employees they lead. He demonstrates the value of leaders’ adopting a mindset of serving employees. John shows how culture is tied to business success, and how leaders’ actions make a difference – to employees and the organization’s business.” – Christine Porath, PHD, Renown Author and Speaker, Ted Talk, Professor of Management

“When Leadership Improves, Everybody Wins is not just another leadership book. John Keyser illuminates subtle leadership skills that affect the core of an organization, and he provides a guide for how to cultivate these skills in leaders of all levels. Any professional who takes, practices, and masters John’s advice will be personally enriched and provide tremendous value to their colleagues.” – Amanda Doyle, KIPP Foundation
