If you want to learn how to walk on the moon, your best teacher would probably be one of the astronauts who actually walked there. If you want to learn how to lead, read this book by Rex Houze. He has magnificently walked the walk for the 30+ years I have known him… He has demonstrated his understanding in the real world and has studied the subject… probably more than any other man alive today. If Peter Drucker’s teachings were explained as clearly as Rex’s, Peter Drucker (1909-2005) would have been even more famous

All leadership begins with self-leadership, and if you can't lead yourself, you shouldn't be leading others. Rex Houze has been leading and teaching others to lead for a generation. I first learned from him in the 1970s in a seminar in Chicago! He's a wise man, now's your chance to learn from him.

Jim Cathcart, author of the bestsellers:
The Acorn Principle & Relationship Selling.

We were excited to hear that Rex was publishing his third book and plan to use it with our entire marketing organization! His first two books were a big hit with our group and people continually quote from them. We were fortunate enough to have Rex speak at several of our events … which reinforced the teaching from his books! We highly recommend that all sales and/or marketing organizations … as well as individuals … utilize Rex’s knowledge from all three of his published books and recommend that you invite him to speak to your group!”
