PRAISE FOR FROM BUD TO BOSS
“Making the transition from peer to leader can be a very perilous journey, but it just got a whole lot easier now that Kevin Eikenberry and Guy Harris have written From Bud to Boss. It’s an engaging read, full of immensely practical advice and compelling real-life examples. You must take this book along with you as you start your new adventure into leadership.”
—JIM KOUZES, award-winning coauthor of the best-selling The Leadership Challenge and The Truth About Leadership; Dean’s Executive Professor of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University
“I wish someone had given me this book fifteen years ago. That was the very first thought I had while reading this book: I really could have used this. Fortunately, I still can. It was amazing to read about the situations described here, as I recalled similar situations, one after another. Everything Kevin and Guy write about seems to have occurred in my past, either to me or my colleagues. This book is real.”
—HARRI JARVELIN, human resource director, Neste Oil
