“My experience starting and managing a business as it became global taught me a lot. Much of what I learned was captured and presented very clearly in this book. Key challenges such as selecting the right people, delegating authority and meaningful time management are at the very heart of successful leadership.
In my view, smart leadership is the ability to make changes in your business and in yourself .… and this book helps you achieve that. I particularly liked the Generation Y chapter and the new ways which they communicate. Anyone who wants to stay on the leading edge would do well to absorb the ideas in this easy to read book.”

It is a must read for executives at all experience levels. While it reinforces business techniques we may already know and practice, it more importantly provides leaders with a holistic view of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ to be successful.”

“Whether you’re new to management or an experienced CEO, you will find “8 Smart Leadership Solutions” an excellent business tool to keep by your side. The book is easy to read and understand. It can used as an educational or reference book that can be dipped into when you want to refresh your knowledge. Our company is multi-cultural with 13 different nationalities so I found the ‘Cultural Intelligence’ chapter particularly useful and as a Baby Boomer, I personally learnt a great deal from the Generational Intelligence chapter. As always, the “Words of Wisdom” help to reinforce the points.”

“As a leader my most valuable asset is time. Time to plan, motivate and over-deliver against daily goals. Daily demands continually escalate, objectives constantly change and the ability to deliver agreed strategies is challenging. What I liked most about Robert’s book is in one hour or less you can uncover and apply techniques that produce immediate results. Also the layout allowed me to quickly refer back to specific sections to refresh my knowledge. From managing emails, motivating staff, achieving 20 hours of output in 10-12 hours to facilitating meaningful meetings, this book definitely has the tools to help me regain time and strengthen my leadership skills. I believe this book is beneficial to anyone that aspires to improve their leadership skills and boost their performance. Robert’s book has changed my thinking and perception about key areas and will positively impact my team’s performance.”
