this book from other tomes on leadership is the step-by-step integrated approach that facilitates the creation of an organization with no limitations.

      A brief look at several of the successful leaders referenced in this book who practice the art of the possible will give you some insight into what is in store for you when you read the rest of this practical guide to success in any organization.

      They include: the late David Packard, co-founder and Chairman of Hewlett-Packard Corporation; Colonel Steve Perry, U.S. Army; Dan Bannister, former Chairman of DynCorp; and, John Welch, former Chairman and CEO of General Electric.

      Also included are: Elizabeth Hanford Dole, former President of the American Red Cross; Charles Schwab, Chairman and CEO of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.; and, Beverly Milkman, former Executive Director of the President’s Committee on Purchasing from the Blind and Severely Disabled.

      David Packard co-founded and grew Hewlett Packard into Silicon Valley’s most admired organization and when called to chair a presidential advisory committee, he irrevocably changed the way the federal government conducts business.

      Steve Perry, a young Army career officer, was given command of a dysfunctional organization with a critical national mission and resolutely turned it into a high-performance team.

      Dan Bannister, faced with losing his company to corporate raiders, seized the day and led an employee buyout that turned DynCorp into a world leader in information and technical services.

      Jack Welch, recognized as perhaps the greatest CEO of the last century, took over a very profitable but hidebound General Electric and turned it into one of the world’s most valuable enterprises with a $300 billion-plus market capitalization.

      Elizabeth Dole assumed leadership of The American Red Cross after distinguished service as Secretary of Labor and Transportation. Instead of coasting through her tenure as president of the venerable non-profit, she chose to awaken the slumbering bureaucracy of 30,000 full-time employees and hundreds of thousands of volunteers. In the process, she saved the organization more than $140 million in operating costs in less than two years.

      Charles Schwab sold his company in 1984 to Bank of America. Unhappy with what he saw them doing with his company – they literally changed the character and culture – he bought the company back. Today, Charles Schwab & Co. is the largest discount brokerage firm ($300 billion) in the nation.

      Beverly Milkman ran one of the U.S. Government’s smallest executive agencies (19 full-time personnel), but one with a significant and challenging mission, The President’s Committee for Purchasing from the Blind and Severely Disabled. She personifies the new breed of government leaders and has led award-winning changes at the Committee.

      A brief example of success stories, but common to all is that mindset, that attitude – it can be done, anything is possible. They created organizations with no limitations; they practice the art of the possible.

      I’ve taken the best practices used by those and other leaders and integrated them into a comprehensive guide to facilitate creation of your own organizational culture with no limitations – an organization that practices the art of the possible.

      It’s my sincere hope that this book will move you to action. In any event, lead, follow or get out of the way!
