Praise for THE RADICAL PROMISE " The Radical Promise is a masterclass in the magnetism and magic of integrity. Farber, Kouzes, and Posner deliver a soul-stirring 'parable-plus' that transforms accountability from a weary duty into a radical competitive advantage. It is a brilliant, heart-centered compass for any leader eager to turn hollow talk into a solid walk." -- CHIP R. BELL, author of Inside Your Customer's Imagination "Shelves are filled with good books on leadership, but I 'promise' you this is one you won't want to put down. The Radical Promise will help you learn how to become the leader people follow because they want to, not because they must." -- VICE ADMIRAL SANDRA STOSZ, U.S.

Coast Guard (Ret.), former Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and author of Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass "Farber, Kouzes, and Posner bring to life the essential truth that doing what you say you will do is not just good practice; it is the very foundation of effective leadership. The Radical Promise is a powerful and timely reminder that trust is built in the simple yet profound act of making and keeping commitments." -- STEPHEN M. R. COVEY, New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust & Inspire "The Radical Promise asks leaders to drop the stories, the blame, and the excuses--and focus on the only thing that builds trust: consistent follow-through.

This timely message applies across industries, roles, and cultures. When leaders internalize this idea, everything changes." -- CY WAKEMAN, Thought Leader, New York Times bestselling author of No Ego and Reality-Based Leadership "Holding ourselves accountable can be a complex goal to achieve. Steve Farber, Jim Kouzes, and Barry Posner show us how to achieve this hidden desire through a fun parable we can all relate to. Read The Radical Promise and learn how to be true to yourself--and everyone else!" -- KEN BLANCHARD, Co-author of The One Minute Manager® and Simple Truths of Leadership "Based on decades of real-life experiences with leaders, the authors spin a story about the ups and downs of leadership. Not just entertaining, but informative about how people win and lose credibility, and how they build it back. There are lessons here for everyone, regardless of your position." -- NILOFER MERCHANT, Co-founder of The Intangible Labs and author of Our Best Work.
