The facts may surprise you
How to Be Exceptional uses research and statistical evidence to deliver the “aha” moments, the epiphanies and the life-changing discoveries their 10 years of research has unveiled. The ideas they reveal will change your approach and dramatically improve the outcome of your effectiveness as a manager or leader.

This puts Zenger Folkman in the unique position to uncover the surprising facts that can give a leader or an organization a distinct advantage.
“This book offers compelling evidence that growing one's strengths leads to greater results,” says Cindy Brinkley, VP Global Human Resources for GM. “However, it takes it to the next level by teaching how those identified strengths can be developed to an even greater degree to distinguish you from the crowd."
“These insightful tools and developmental approaches help address fatal flaws and push your existing strengths over the edge to Exceptional,” said Linda Simon, Sr. VP, Leadership & Organizational Development, DIRECTV.
