This engaging story is full of practical advice that you’ll be able to apply immediately. It’s essential reading for any leader who needs to answer the question, ‘Where are we going?’ Come to think of it, that would be all of us!

~Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge and The Truth About Leadership

I’ve shared this book with friends and coaching peers alike and will continue to do so in order to share the wisdom and guidance that Ken and Jesse provide on each and every page!

The clearest, the most cogent statement I’ve read that gives meaning and life to vision. Even Dilbert will get it!

Vision answers the question, ‘What mountain do we want to climb?’ Full Steam Ahead! is a wonderful guidebook that will not only help you find your mountain but give you all the road maps and tools you’ll need to make it to the top. Highly recommended!

A powerful, simple guide for a journey we all need to take.

If you’re like me, you can polish it off in two days. But if you’re wise, you’ll read it slowly in order to savor it. I read most of Full Steam Ahead at lunchtime, a chapter a day, with a pen handy for taking notes.

~Ted Coiné, Author of Five-Star Customer Service and Spoil ’Em Rotten!
