I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Take a short trip with Kerry Hamilton down the Colorado River and orient yourself toward leadership as a journey. The Leadership River is a fun, short read packed with wisdom, ideas and practices to help you on your leadership journey. It is a refreshing reminder that leadership derives from simple concepts that we can all implement. In it, you will learn that if you have a "willingness to step back and notice what you want in the present moment and take some action...simple changes can produce profound results."

The Leadership River will stand with the leadership classics. It is the type of book you can read many times and take something new from it each time.
