Praise for 7 Principles of Transformational Leadership:

“Effective leadership sets a vision and strategy for an organization, rallies others around that vision, and ensures the right culture and talent are present to execute. But, before you can be what Hugh calls “a transformational leader,” you must have a compelling strategy and vision for yourself. Hugh Blane helped me craft and articulate a strategy and vision for my own life, and now the 7 Principles of Transformational Leadership will help you do the same.”

—Dr. Timothy Chester, vice president for Information Technology at The University of Georgia

“Hugh Blane offers practical leadership advice based on his years of executive coaching. Starting at the beginning with who you are and where you want to go, his examples, stories and principles offer valuable guidance for the journey to effective, transformational leadership.”

—Jack Mudd, retired senior vice president, Mission Leadership, Providence Health & Services

“Hugh Blane shares decades of experience working within businesses and with clients in a deeply personal manner, bringing the reader to a shared conclusion that technical skills absent clarity, purpose and love are inadequate to allow a person to become a truly transformational leader.”

—Bryce Seidl, retired president and CEO at Pacific Science Center

“If you haven't read this book you are more lost than you realize! Far too many of us spend far too much time stuck on the hamster wheel of the day to day. Stuck with no direction and too much to do. But in this insightful book Hugh Blane gives us a clear road map of how to get off the hamster wheel and out of the fog by latching onto and then maintaining laser focus on our PURPOSE!!! Only apply these principals if you want a life far more fulfilling and if you want to close the gap between where you are today and where you aspire to be tomorrow!”

—John Felkins, director of coaching, Dave Ramsey

“Leadership is a choice we make, it’s not just a role or a title. Being a transformational leader is both a privilege and a responsibility. Hugh Blane’s 7 Principles of Transformational Leadership outlines a paradigm and a framework on how anyone can be a transformational leader by choice.”

—Deepak Goindwani, vice president, product development at CDK Global
