I fell in love with this wonderful resource
book at first sight. I love the humor and
easy style that offers very profound
nuggets of wisdom that are easy to
digest. And, one is able to take it all in
with a big smile and light heart. How cool
is that for the weary warriors among us!

One of the most compelling ways to generate
discussions around coaching topics is in the
creation of characters like Dr. Fink. What Larry
Lyons does with his Dr. Fink stories is to provide
a concise and funny platform for making serious
points about leadership and organizations. What
a creative and fun way to develop a workbook
—I am greatly looking forward to hearing more
from Dr. Fink!

Read Dr. Fink’s Leadership Casebook. It is filled
with just the kinds of insights we need in the
twenty-first century, and it’s beautifully written.
After reading one story, there is no way you will
put down the book without reading all of them.
Laurence S. Lyons has once again shown the
power and humanity in coaching today’s
managers.

Hidden beneath the stimulating and thought
provoking stories in Dr. Fink’s Leadership
Casebook, Laurence S. Lyons offers us a
refreshing leadership paradigm that is built on
personal acuity and awareness of others.
The approach embraces important management
topics we have until now ignored. It allows readers
to introduce the richness into their personal style
of leadership that will help to transform
organizations into responsible corporate citizens.
