"People don′t do anything worthwhile until they are inspired, which is perhaps why Martin Luther King didn′t stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and say, ′I have a strategic plan.′ Inspire them, engage them, invite them to take ownership, and your employees will move mountains. Once again, Joe Tye hits a home run!"
—Matthew Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Dream Manager and The Rhythm of Life
