Empower Your People to Achieve Success!

Riding The Blue Train not only inspired me professionally, but personally as well. It has changed my point of view on the kind of person/employee I strive to be and the type of company/individual leader I envision working for. Kumar and Sayle discuss the Breakthrough Journey, which is a road I highly desire to travel on. "Breakthrough leadership is a product of bold vision, intense focus, and hard work. There are few 'born leaders' in the world from a Breakthrough perspective, but it is a skill one can learn and nurture." This book illustrates how you can accomplish this skill to become a great leader by Riding The Blue Train. I have given this book to many people as a gift, including the management team at my office who are also now Riding the Blue Train! My company now sees our success in the corporate world from a new, energizing perspective.

How many Corporations, Government Branches, and/or Educational systems really understand in how to build a business, or instill justice, or educate our youth? This book advises you must first build the people to be the best they possible can be.

Lets instill in our people the 5 powers of Insight, Inspiration, Intentionality, Intentional language, and Congruence to establish bold visions as so stated by the authors.As a practitioner in the field of holistic medicine, someone once said future medicine shall prescribe no drugs,thus the wholistic aproach on life.Maybe the Breakthrough Journey (the core message) will bring us into a more positive and healthy relationship with the rest of the world and the future.A unique approach in motivating and stimulating the people. Thumbs up on this book!

A must read for leaders and leaders to be. The title had me hooked on. I have to applaud the authors for an excellent narrative of an area that is thought of as out of bounds by common man. This book is able to reach readers of every generation and all walks of life. (I have had three generations in my family read it over Thanksgiving). Highly motivational and easily adaptable ideas and tips for practical life.

Riding the Blue Train to Success

"Riding the Blue Train" is one of the best books that I have read recently. It combines tools for an individual's personal and professional growth that could easily act as a catalyst for business growth as well. The book is an easy read with real life examples and practical applications in each chapter. The authors emphasize the importance of common goals across individuals and the organizations that they represent. The authors call it a `line of one' where the individual, the team and their organizations work together harmoniously in a `Full-on-Mode'. This enables a common future vision and acceleration of personal as well as business growth.
