Three dozen business owners and advisors participated in the review process for Doing it RIGHT-- from its conception through the final draft. Here's what they have to say:
"True to form, Dan Elash's Doing it RIGHT goes far beyond being just another 'book.' It's a comprehensive learning system that is an invaluable guide for all business owners and leaders interested in creating and sustaining a high performance enterprise.
Filled with very thoughtful and relevant concepts, stories, tools, profiles and practical examples, Doing it RIGHT will help you chart a clearer, more mindful and more focused path in these turbulent times. Congratulations, Dan, for your great performance in developing a truly empowering resource for all business leaders."
--Rick Sidorowicz, Publisher and Editor of The CEO Refresher, Toronto, Canada
"Dan Elash proves again that he has what it takes to help leaders navigate an emerging landscape in his innovative e-Book. He illuminates a path for even the most experienced leaders. Dan's expertise in the areas of psychology, organizational development and leader development combine to provide rich context. This is the right book at the right time as we strive to be all the leader that we can be."
-- Mark D. Steele, VP & Director Purchasing and Supply Management, Kennametal Incorporated, Latrobe, PA
"The information is well written and easy to understand -- and easy to understand is a big seller with me. The advice is sound and is ground-level quality, meaning it's basic and should be understood by anyone who owns a family business."
-- Mike Kraemer, Director, Communications/Credit Services, The North American Equipment Dealers Association
"These are very challenging times, forcing family businesses to work harder and smarter than ever before. Doing it RIGHT will help you repair organizational problems that can hold your company back from survival and growth, while you reinvent your family business to thrive in a new era. The only constant today is change. You can either surrender or adapt. If you want to have a fighting chance, you need the ideas in this book."
-- Joshua Feinberg, cofounder, SmallBizTechTalk.com, West Palm Beach, Florida
"Overall, the publication is great. The stories add realism and remove any sense of pontification. It comes across as practical advice. It is good to have the links (to the tools and action items) for further reading on specific issues. Keep up the good work."
-- David Smith, Executive Director, Interlocking Concrete Paving Institute
"I have known Dr. Daniel Elash for many years. This toolkit is the offshoot of his many exemplary works spanning a highly successful career devoted to helping people help themselves. It is an easy-to-use and straightforward learning "system" that should be mandatory reading for every small business owner/operator, or for that matter, every business manager who wants to achieve their personal and business goals."
-- Dan H. Mathews, Senior Vice President & COO, National Automatic Merchandising Association
"What a wonderful resource for developing and maintaining a thriving business. Doing it RIGHT allows business leaders to tap into Dan Elash’s vast leadership and organizational development knowledge and experience in an easy-to-read and understand, interactive e-book format. It’s not just theory, but an entire tool kit for business success!"
-- Janet Delph, Managing Editor, www.ExpertMagazine.com
"As a consultant and seminar leader, I am often told by business owners, 'Yes, but our business is different.' Until now there was no single system to help them address the entire spectrum of challenges -- communications, sales, marketing, management, the works. They were looking for a set of tools that could be shaped to fit their hands. Now it's here."
-- Ruth P. Stevens, eMarketing Strategy, New York, NY
"The most exciting part of the toolkit is the case studies sprinkled throughout it that give real-life examples of how businesses are putting into practice the insights written about in the toolkit such as acquiring market savvy, keeping the brand promise and others. I found that a lot of the information applies to any business and reminds me of the insight I get in Inc. Magazine each month."
-- Ramon Ray, President, www.SmallBizTechnology.com
"Obviously Dan has put a tremendous amount of work into the development of the toolkit for business owners. In addition to the businesses themselves I think it would be a valuable tool for family business advisors; maybe they should be the target market."
-- Wayne Rivers, President, The Family Business Institute, Inc., Raleigh, NC
"I saw in Dan someone with extensive experience developing leadership, management, and growth strategies for large privately-held and family-owned companies. The most remarkable thing is his ability to translate the strategies of these huge complex organizations -- with virtually unlimited resources -- into practical and transferable tools for the rest of us."
-- Wayne Messick, Publisher
