What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“We can all learn something about leadership and communication from The Boss.”  
—George Stephanapoulos, Television Host

“Andy Freed was my first ever campaign manager and even then had a knack for the subtle art of persuasion. This delightful book distills his extensive personal experience with hands-on leadership as well as the intuitive communication skills of The Boss. It may be only Rock ‘n Roll, but I like it.”  
—Angus King, US Senator

“I’ve never worn a bandana on stage or led a stadium in song, but I know what it means to lead under pressure. This book takes lessons from The Boss and makes them useful for anyone who’s ever had to stand in front of a team and make something happen.”
—Ryan Fitzpatrick, NFL Quarterback
