The Hod Carrier, October 4, 2002
This review is from: The Hod Carrier: Leadership Lessons Learned on a Ladder (Hardcover)
Mark Kimbell's, The Hod Carrier, is one of the most straight-forward, business-applicable books I've read in years. The story about leadership lessons learned on a ladder conjures visions of difficult challenges each of us face. It also provides easy to remember lessons and simple tools such as "Bricks are twice as heavy when you're behind", and "Never forget whose bricks you are laying." Mark's writing style is a Ken Blanchard-esque story style. The story itself is compelling, descriptive and so intriguing that you won't want it to end.

The Hod Carrier: Leadership Lessons Learned on a Ladder, September 26, 2002
This review is from: The Hod Carrier: Leadership Lessons Learned on a Ladder (Hardcover)
The Hod Carrier is a quick, easy read, but the message is profound. Mark Kimbell is as interesting on paper as he is in person. The concepts in this book apply in almost every area of life, and are illustrated in an entertaining and memorable way. The author creates wonderful visual images as he writes, and by the end of the book I felt almost as if I had experienced the events described along with the characters. I highly recommend The Hod Carrier. I will definitely read it again.

The Hod Carrier, September 25, 2002
This review is from: The Hod Carrier: Leadership Lessons Learned on a Ladder (Hardcover)
This book is a must-read for anyone in management or aspiring to become a manager. Obtaining a sense of the true meaning of manual labor, taking pride in your work, and possessing a genuinely strong work ethic, will become evident after reading "The Hod Carrier." This book will demonstrate how to incorporate these virtues into the everyday working environment and inspire others to marvel at your leadership abilities. I highly recommend this book to anyone of working age. It could be a strong motivator for young people as they enter the workforce and decide their career paths.
