“One of the aspects of Dan Purkey’s latest book that I enjoyed the most was that it felt like he was speaking to me. The guidance spelled out in It’s Not That Hard. Just Do This. is universal and will inform and inspire leaders across industries. It serves as a vivid reminder that those of us in leadership face similar challenges and experience the same frustrations. It provides solid, digestible advice for any leader at any level to overcome those.”
