The company I work for has recently launched an in-house improvement campaign and the employees were asked to contribute; I e-mailed the powers-that-be a copy of "The Penalty of Leadership". It was considered an 'eye-opener', especially since it originated from a competitor - I happen to work in the offices of a very well-known automobile company.

It would be interesting to hear which piece of writing from her grandfather is Theodora's favorite. Please let me know where I can get my hands on an original style copy of Penalty of Leadership to share with a particular leader I know and admire. So glad I found this site.

He would be pleased that you appreciate his work. If you look up his name on the internet you will see more than you ever wanted to know.

The "Penalty of Leadership" still hangs on my office wall,even though I am semi-retired, where it is read frequently. It will soon appear in the City Hall of Youngstown, Ohio, as the Mayor of Youngstown, who previously worked for me, requested a copy for the lobby of the City Hall which is being remodeled. It is a constant reminder of the pressures that Leadership brings to the leader.
