"This is a life-changing book--one of those rare books that achieves far more than it promises. Allan Cox challenges us to understand the fundamental forces underlying our behavior. These are forces that lead to either success or failure. Since these forces are fundamental, they don't apply just to business, but to all relationships. Your Inner CEO isn't a book that you simply read, it's one you live. Living it will not only maximize your potential for success, it will provide a better life for all those who surround you." Dr. Robert Genetski, Economist and Publisher, Classical Principles

"If you are a board member or report to a board, you need to read this book. The chapter on boards alone is worth the price of admission. Allan Cox gets it right on all accounts and gives great advice on how to make potentially difficult relationships both collaborative and productive." Howard Behar, Board of Directors of Starbucks, Gap, Anna’s Linens

"Only 134 pages, Redefining Corporate Soul . . . Linking Purpose & People is a fast-paced — yet not simple — read that can easily be completed on a cost-to-coast flight . . . Introduction to two-page feature in: World Traveler, Northwest Airlines in-flight magazine

"Allan Cox wrote a book called Redefining Corporate Soul. 'There are places where that dog-eat-dog stuff is still around,' he says. 'But it just won't work. It has no future. The new Darwinism means that those organizations are not going to make it. Survival of the fittest today requires niceness. The fit are nice. The fit are compassionate. The fit have soul and purpose.'" USA Today

"All of the half-dozen cutting-edge books Allan Cox has authored have invariably been a step ahead of the works produced by the 'me-too' pack of management gurus. Now, again, in Soul, he has his arms around tomorrow's key issue today!" James O'Toole, VP-Seminars, The Aspen Institute

"This is an extraordinary book, beautifully written, and full of wisdom. It is highly recommended." Directorship

"Cox makes being an effective member or leader of a team an intensely personal business. He clarifies that such effectiveness on the team is much more a matter of what you do than what others do. Here is a book that skillfully charts the larger significance of the team while showing sensitivity to the detail of high-performance teamwork — sensitivity that is provocative and stimulating." Roger W. Heyns President, Hewlett Foundation, Former Chancellor, UC-Berkeley

"Cox manages at least one thought-provoking idea per page." Chicago Sun-Times

"The unique ingredient to competitiveness in any organization can only be produced through people. Companies can be bought and sold, products can come and go, but nothing rivals a dedicated team of people. GE's Jack Welch says it's the single most important advantage America has, yet how many of us make use of it? If Allan Cox's Straight Talk can push this to the top of CEOs' agendas, it will perform a national service greater than In Search of Excellence. J.P. Donlon, Editor-in-Chief, Chief Executive Magazine

"Surveyed nearly 1,200 executives at 13 large companies 'to get at the veiled truths of the corporate world.' And lift that veil he does." Los Angeles Magazine

"(It) demonstrates the intensely personal nature of executive ambition, which often seems to exclude the wider corporate good." New York Times Book Review

"Any executive who pays careful heed to the lessons in this provocative and stimulating little book will be unlikely to misdirect his or her energies. Allan Cox has given us one of the most valuable works of its kind to be published in many moons. And he has gone a long way toward proving that his concept of 'achievement' is much closer to what the American economy now needs than the notions of 'direction' and 'leadership' being touted by such of his publishing rivals as Lee Iacocca and Harold Geneen." Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Especially refreshing." Forbes
