"This book is required reading for all managers to
become leaders and to grow in leadership. This is a book that can be read again and again for continual inspiration and reminders."
Fran Craig, President, Computer Strategies
"I've always been puzzled over how few of our leaders know how and what can be done to involve and motivate employees. This is probably why we have so many managers and so few true leaders. Creative Leadership addressed these issues very well and should be read by anyone in a leadership position today, or hopeful of being a leader in the future."
Michael Kelly, Director, Corporate Real Estate, PRC Inc.

Anyone who is responsible for the productivity of other people and who doesn't know the difference between managing and leading can learn many important lessons from this book."
-Larry K. Beck, Editor-in-Chief, Engineer's Digest

"Wherever you are in your journey through the densely populated forest of leadership aids, this book IS the next step. Every page whittles a bit more of the bark from the boughs of seasoned, mature leadership, revealing a system of leading others that is strongly rooted in the rough and tumble realism of day-to-day business. Follow along as Migs helps you spawn new growth in others, and gives you all the tools you'll need to nurture, prune and strengthen the leaders of tomorrow who are reporting to you today.;"
-Francie Dalton, President, Dalton Alliances
"Migs has injected his personal knowledge of people skills into his writing in a way that can be easily understood and implemented. This 'how to ' book is a winner. I'm impressed!"
-Robert Hummer, President, Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE)
"During his distinguished career, Migs Damiani has POSITIVELY affected thousands of peoples' lives and careers. In his new book Creative Leadership, he shares his success formula with you to build more effective leaders-by looking for and mining the gold in your workforce-and to develop your people skills."
-Rich "MR. POS" Wilkins, Author/Speaker/Motivator
"Managers owe it to their associates and themselves to move beyond the management of things to the leadership of people. This book is a terrific step forward toward that goal. Migs has flavored the broth of his own extensive experience with Bill Bennett's Book of Virtues, Canfield and Hasen's Chicken Soup for the Soul, Covey's Principle-Centered Leadership, and a heavy portion of Zig Ziglar's See You at the Top. "
-Larry Cain, Vice President, Boland Services
"Migs Damiani not only talks the talk, he walks the talk. Everything you'll read in this book represents Migs'style of leadership, and provides us with a model that will serve us well if we are to be successful in the twenty-first century."
-Ron Nestor, Regional Manager of Human Resources, Bechtel Group (Retired)
"Creative Leadership takes complex issues and provides simple, practical steps in creating an environment that is both rich and exciting for the employee as well as the company. The success stories t are included show how the principles and steps that are detailed work in actual situations. Migs has written a book that is not only extremely informative, but is both enjoyable and inspirational. His book clearly shows that leaders are not limited to the management staff, but can be any member of the organization."
