To Do or Not To Do is sure to help all leaders make better decisions. Don’t miss it!
Ken Blanchard
This quick-read parable lies in a sweet spot between Blanchard and Drucker – engaging storytelling that is also sufficiently prescriptive to give leaders direct guidance on handling real-world situations. All good managers want to empower their people, but it’s never easy to know just when to share power and when to pull it back. This book shows you how. It deserves a place on both the reference shelf and in the briefcase.

Gary Winters is the Yoda of management consultants! Reading What Your Boss Never Told You is like having a wise, experienced, and articulate guide by your side – offering you powerful, practical advice.
Eric Klein, Dharma Consulting
Gary Winters, in What Your Boss Never Told You, bridges the knowledge and experience gap with poignant anecdotes, razor sharp insights and actionable ways to jump start your career as well as that of your team, when leadership and management become mission critical. It includes just about everything you wanted to know but didn’t know how to ask with respect to getting started in management and includes some timeless gems for the seasoned manager as well.
I wish somebody had shared these insights with me early in my career! This will be required reading for those I have the privilege and responsibility to mentor on the road ahead.

Thanks, Gary! My recent transition workshop was quite a success. I was facing two challenges – I was new to the organization and new to the team. I like how you met with all of us before the workshop, got our input, and designed a program for our particular needs. We ended the day a more cohesive group, and I got a terrific head-start. I truly appreciate your personal, pragmatic approach.
Casey McCann, Assistant Community Development Director
Gary, I wanted to let you know what we’ve been doing since the transition workshop. Based on the dialogue, I now have a list of four major “commitments” along with detailed action items. I really got a lot out of the workshop. The information flow has really blossomed. We’re all feeling comfortable with each other now.

What have you done with “M”? I got into the carpool van this morning and “M,” who is often negative, said in a very happy voice, and I quote, “Good morning V! How are you today?”
I am still walking around up here wondering who that person was. I said, “M, is that you?” She said, “Yes girl. It’s the NEW me. I took the Beyond The Core Courses class yesterday and I feel great and this is the new me.”
She said, “I am so happy and positive. I never knew that I could feel this way about life. It is such a wonderful feeling. You really have to take the class too. You will be amazed.”
Email from “V”
Just want to let you know that the 2 sessions of “Beyond the Core” that Gary did for us on Sept. 25 went very well. It is the perfect refresher course — serving as a good review while at the same time introducing new information that is readily accessible and applicable. Gary did a great job and got really positive reviews.

I wanted to let you know I have been hearing very positive feedback regarding the Leadership Summit last week. I think it was a great success! I am attaching the data from the feedback forms. I have not edited or combined the similar comments, as I wanted you to see it exactly as it was received.
K.C. (Assistant City Manager)
It was so great meeting you last month. I enjoyed meeting you and seeing your presentation…decision making – it’s so relevant! You’re a great presenter/facilitator. Thanks so much!
