What Others Are Saying:

"Creating WE is a blueprint for ridding the corporate world of paralyzing groupthink and the barriers of blame and corporate castes that impede innovation and progress. It should be read and embraced by leaders and lemmings alike."

Innovative Business Leaders of our Time"

"The quintessential challenge of all leaders is getting everyone aligned and pulling in the same direction as a team. Before Judith Glaser wrote Creating WE, most mangers struggled, and many failed, to transform their company's culture, and engage the organization with a real sense of unity and purpose. Creating WE is a watershed event, so perfectly on target that the holy grail of leadership is within the grasp of every business leader."

- Frank Palantoni, Retired Worldwide CEO Gerber Products....
Director of Lexicon Genetics, Director of Gerber Life Insurance

"Getting extraordinary things done is never a solo act. "You can't do it alone" is the mantra of the most successful leaders, despite the persistent, perverse, and pervasive hero myth. In Creating WE Judith Glaser provides us with the healthy alternative to the brand-me mentality that is getting in the way of the best ideas and the best people. Her book goes well beyond hype and offers practical solutions, real-life examples, and useful tools. Creating WE is about the real "reality show" in business, and I recommend that you tune in.

- Jim Kouzes
Coauthor, The Leadership Challenge

- Nancy Hunt

More importantly, she provides practical advice on how to achieve extraordinary results by focusing on optimal behaviors.

More to the point, she describes the impact that behavior will undoubtedly have on the success or failure of an enterprise and how shifting these behaviors can change a company's destiny"

- Felice Schulaner
EVP of Human Resources Coach

"This is a book for skeptics of touchy-feely treatises on leadership that end up collecting dust on your bookshelf. Creating We is a take-no-prisoners, example-filled look at the challenge of building healthy organizations from scratch or revamping corporate cultures, yet it is presented through stirring, heartfelt stories. And this is not just talk: Judith Glaser perfectly balances the "why" of leadership with cogent and executable advice on how to take struggling organizations and turn them around."

I am enjoying the book...I found myself needing some reminders!!!"

- Stan Juozaitis

"The right book for the challenging times we face in today's business environment. As many companies struggle with trying to sustain growth utilizing outdated programs, your book takes the reader from your description of the "culture of toxicity" to thought provoking concepts you mention that allow people to "tune in" and create ways to help companies grow stronger. I remember a book from 1986 that chronicled the rise and fall of a retail giant. A great company brought to its knees as a result of the very things you write about in your book. The personal fiefdoms, the arrogance and the poor communication that is rife in many companies today. Your book shows how companies of all sizes can remedy some of systemic issues within by empowering its managers and associates to become "the new generation of leaders" you describe. Many who read your book will have a copy of Becky's poem in their "blackberries" or "Daytimers". Thanks for the opportunity to have a "first look!" I'm sure I'll be ordering copies."

- Rich Wilson
Director, Retail Sales East Region Pepsi-Cola Company North America
