looking to make their organizations outstanding should
read!”

Question and Outstanding!
“I haven’t been so moved by a business thinker and
visionary in years. Cy Wakeman’s message has been heard
before – that to truly succeed and grow, we have to check our
egos at the door. But never has this counter-intuitive
insight been so compellingly argued as in this terrific
book.”
—Doug Smith, CEO, Ervin and Smith Advertising and Public
Relations

Leadership is practical, relevant and exactly what
today’s leaders really need. This is definitely a must-read
for every success-oriented leader and manager.”
—Jeff A. Hurt, CEO, Southwest Credit
“Cy Wakeman is a brilliant story-teller and
coach. She has a profound ability to tell a story that makes
you laugh while at the same time cutting through your defenses to
help you recognize your need to change. I have worked with Cy for
years, and the lessons in this book have helped me create better
organizations and a better me.”
—Jason Lauritsen, vice president, Human Resources, Union Bank
and Trust Company
“You can’t afford to lead your organization without
this book in hand! Cy Wakeman writes with candor, humor and
unconventional wisdom about how we can be wildly
successful.”
