    "Everybody's Business is an outstanding primer on what really matters in complex organizations. It is a compelling tale; utilizing very specific examples on why culture and leadership matter so much to the success of a business. Dr. Marta Wilson has crafted an easy to read book on exactly how and what both new and seasoned executives need to pay attention to in order to gain the most success for their people. At the heart of the book, similar to the golden rule of real estate which is "location, location, location," it's about your "people, people, people." Wilson's original take on leadership and stakeholder engagement will inspire you to think differently and empower you to take your next step that creates improvement within your enterprise. Get ready to imagine new possibilities and bring them into reality in your workplace!" --Rear Admiral Jim McManamon (USN Retired), former Deputy Commander, Surface Warfare, Naval Sea Systems Command

The memorable insights she shares and the "Ask Yourself" section in each chapter will help you discover small actions to take that will yield big returns and sustainable high performance". --Jim MacDonald, Vice President, Human Resources - Americas of Hilton Worldwide

    " Through micro vignettes, often startlingly clear insights and a wealth of knowledge drawn from customer-based experiences, Everybody’s Business demonstrates how organizations large and small, public and private, can ignite their corporate “imaginative moxie” to cultivate the dormant seeds of leadership buried within their employees and steer their organizations to greatness, “one decision, one action, and one person at a time.” --Major General Barry D. Bates, (USA, Retired), Vice President of Operations, National Defense Industrial Association
