Stand Out Advice in a Cluttered Business Book Environment

I've actively utilized several of the leadership tools provided in "Corporate Catalysts" to much success. Dan Coughlin provides thoughtful, insightful and most of the time simplistic tools (yet for some reason other books try to make it complicated) that if implemented can accelerate not only your ability to be a better leader but to gain the confidence as you take on more and more responsibility as a leader. It's a stand out in a overcrowded, over jargoned environment of business how-to books.

Good Practical Advice

Coughlin's principals have succeeded in energizing an entire team of us at my office. The book's a fast and valuable read, chock full of "get-to-it" advice and counsel that requires little more than an honest assessment of one's personal work style and a determination to make it better.

Michael Feder Medical Staff Leadership, Kansas City

Corporate Catalysts has countless applications professionally and personally. It has helped me to clarify my desired outcomes and given me a roadmap to achieve them. Although the concepts are designed to provide value over the long haul, I have noticed immediate improvement in performance and relationships using the tools Dan Coughlin has developed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to add depth and breadth to their professional and personal relationships.

Make a Difference

People at every level at every organization struggle on a daily basis trying to understand what they can do to impact their organizations. Dan Coughlin provides a roadmap to success for each of these individuals. His ideas are straightforward, yet thought provoking. He not only tells you what to do in order to be a catalyst, he tells you what NOT to do. He masterfully uses "real world" examples and anecdotes throughout the book that make his points easy to understand and implement

Sensible, easy-to-implement tips and strategies

Dan Coughlin's book is serving as a blueprint for helping our company's young leaders hone their individual leadership skills and build stronger, more effective teams. Our creative services director was so impressed with Coughlin's ideas that she's putting together an "acceleration" course for her entire team. They will meet weekly and discuss their individual and team progress in implementing Coughlin's easy-to-follow steps for becoming corporate catalysts. I recommend this book without reservations. You might say it's deceptively simple. Sometimes the best ideas are like that. A good investment of your time and money.
