  1. David,

    Great interview. I love your passion for putting theory into practice.

    While listening to your interview with Liz I could picture the multipliers and diminishers in the organizations I’m connected with. Powerful stuff.

    I’m buying the book!

    Thank you for adding value to the community.

    Leadership Freak,
