Praise for Leadership Is Worthless...
But Leading Is Priceless

Marshall Goldsmith

Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author

"Dr. Thom Mayer cuts through the noise of conventional leadership theory with clarity and conviction—reminding us that leadership isn’t a title or destination, but a daily act of purpose, presence, and integrity.

It’s smart, bold, and deeply human—a must-read for anyone serious about making a real impact in their work and life."

Tom Peters

New York Times Best-Selling Author

“Dr. Thom Mayer’s new book is not an easy read. You cannot ‘flip through it.’ It challenges us to rethink the way we approach the next five minutes, the next two minutes. Please don’t ‘read’ this book. Dive in deep, reflect, and I, yes, guarantee it will change your life and the lives of those you work and play with. It is that good, that profound, that powerful.”

U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner

D-VA

“Dr. Thom Mayer’s book on leadership is enhanced by a rich series of personal examples drawn from his own life and extraordinary experiences. Perhaps the greatest lesson he has to offer is not to be discouraged by failure, but rather to use it as fuel – to take risks and get yourself back in the game. Leaders of all stripes can learn much from reading this book.”
