If you have an EA or are an EA you need this book!
We are big fans of the book! It gave me so much validation to the job I was doing for my dad, the founder, that no one else understood – even him.
Now that I have taken his place as CEO and want to have the same leverage in a force multiplier that he had in me, I am able to use your book to explain it to everyone! I have two amazing women in place and we are sorting out how to get our one job done.

This book is a must-read for both leaders and those whom they partner with for their success. Strongly recommend they both read it and then meet on it. Outlined with personal experience how the two people can best work together to achieve common goals. Helps you both be on the same page and break down any walls so you can focus on the future together. its a book you will reference back many times and if you are like me, keep it in your desk drawer at the ready.
It’s also a very very easy read, with no extra fluff or crap, just solid content presented from two perspectives; that of the leader and that of the Force Multiplier.
