Customer Reviews

This is a GREAT leadership development read

Cashman does a wonderful job integrating the challenge of business managemement with the host of challenges many of us face outside of work. Wow, this one really "hit home." The built in interactivity allows the reader to personally engage as the story unfolds. There were numberous times where I had to stop and really think how effective I have been leading my life vs. just leading the business. This book is both enjoyable to read and very profound.

Awakening the Leader Within

It was phenomenal!  I read it in one sitting.  It was engrossing, thought-provoking and a very compelling look at business values.  I would love to see a series of such books on a variety of specific topics.  The fictional character interwoven with relevant teachings is a format that needs to continue.

Awakening The Leader Within

Kevin Cashman's book is a classic. It combines his soulful insights about authentic leadership with a gripping and realistic tale of the realities confronted by a contemporary executive torn between the bottom line and what's really important in leadership and life.It addresses the greed seeking, short term focus and trends so prevalent in executive suites today. If you are a father and a results driven executive you'll weep when you read this book. I did. IT'S A SINGULAR CLARION CALL JUST WHEN WE NEED IT THE MOST.
