“Boundless Leadership is a ground-breaking book that redefines what
it means to be a true leader today. Rather than a superficial list
of mundane and trite qualities found among ‘great leaders,’
Boundless Leadership takes a deep dive into the leader him/herself
to identify the critical characteristics that define authentic,
mindful and effective leadership in a world full of sloganeering.

leads. A unique and progressive take on the organization of the

quality. A must read for both current and aspiring leaders.”—Ron
