Reviews

Acting 'As One' is the key to unleashing productivity, the potential of people, and the inspiring power of purpose. I recommend this book to every leader - and to every individual who wants to be part of something bigger than him- or herself

Grounded in compelling research and beautifully presented... A 'must read' for leaders who are looking to capture the power of collective behavior

As One destroys a common myth: that there is basically one good leadership model. It's brilliant!

First and foremost, companies are about people. As One provides a well-grounded roadmap for moving ideas into action

I've never seen anything like As One. It works!
