<p>"Credibility is the most timely and important issue of our age. And with this book, based on a solid foundation of research plus their years of experience, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner have thrown us a Hail Mary pass that can help to restore confidence and trust in our institutions. I am personally grateful to receive their pass. I bet that you will be too."</br> —<b>Warren Bennis</b>, Distinguished Professor of Business, University of Southern California; author, <i>Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership</i> <p>"My first suggestion on how to build your <i>credibility</i>: read this book and apply what you learn! Nothing is more important to a leader than credibility. Jim and Barry do a wonderful job of showing us all why it matters, how to earn it, and how to keep it! Another amazing contribution from the world's authorities on leadership!"</br> —<b>Marshall Goldsmith</b>, author, <i>MOJO</i> and <i>What Got You Here Won't Get You There</i> <p>"<i>Credibility</i> should be on the must-read list for all leaders and potential leaders, and should be a required text for all business majors. Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner clearly outline the values and traits of credible leaders, and they both confirm and support the theory that we all want to work for 'credible' leaders. It is a fantastic read for all of us who aspire to be the leader that others want to follow."</br> —<b>Ann Rhoades</b>, author, <i>Built on Values</i>; president and founder, People Ink <p>"Over the past twenty-five years, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner have built—no exaggeration—the most significant body of leadership work on the planet. <i>Credibility</i> is a masterpiece because it accomplishes the seemingly impossible: it boils the vast, often-complicated and confusing act of leadership down to its purest essence and then teaches us how to put it into practice in all aspects of our lives. Simply put, this book will not only inspire you to make a difference, it will help you do it."</br> —<b>Steve Farber</b>, author, <i>The Radical Leap Re-Energized</i> and <i>Greater Than Yourself</i>; president, Extreme Leadership, Inc. <p>"When I graduated from business school back in the early 1980s, I thought I had to be a 'superhuman' if I were to ever be a CEO some day. After two dozen years of being a CEO, I now know that it's not about being <i>superhuman</i>; it's instead about being a <i>super</i> human. If there's one leadership book that is the operating manual for how to be a super leader and a super human at the same time, it is <i>Credibility</i>. Loved every word of it!"</br> —<b>Chip Conley</b>, founder and executive chairman, Joie de Vivre; author, <i>PEAK</i> and <i>Emotional Equations</i>
