When you put together a common business problem with an interesting story, and add the prescriptive appendix, you have a winner. This puts Lost and Found in the company of some of the best business novels ever written, including: Who Moved My Cheese?, Fish!, and The One Minute Manager. I really can't say enough about the value of this book. I think I am going to read it again!
~Jack Covert, 800CEORead.com

I'm not sure what's harder: putting this book down before finishing it or finishing it without committing to a new style of leadership.
~Ken Blanchard, Co-author, The One Minute Manager® and Whale Done!™

I read Lost and Found in two sittings, at a very leisurely pace. It is amazing how much of life touches the subject of leadership and how many of those ways Lostand Found has discovered to use as examples. There are many teachers of leadership if we are willing to listen. Some time ago we discussed how work seeks its highest level, and the reality of that principle certainly is demonstrated in Larry's office project experience. The manuscript is a great casual read and encourages the reader to continue on.
~Mark Eichinger, VP for Human Resources Operations, Eaton Corporation

Sussman, Deep, and Stiber have created a poignant story that captures the true essence of leadership. You might think these lessons were obvious, but when you see the number of high profile leadership failures in the news today, you realize that leaders with these skills are sadly rare.
~Michael Mangan, Ph.D.,Strategy and Change Consultant, IBM Global Services

I thought I'd just start it, and found that I couldn't put it down. Once you get to the point where Larry is following Macon for the fishing "vacation", you really are hard pressed to stop the reading. Enjoyable! It is a very sound message for leadership in all walks of life.
~Lauren Patch, CEO, WYNCOM, Inc.

I read Lost and Found from front to back without putting it down once, something I do only with Tom Clancy's books. This is a great book for all executives who are interested in improving their leadership and management
styles, as did Larry. It is easy to read, understand, and certainly points you in the right direction. Good job!
~Gideon Toeplitz, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Pittsburgh Symphony

If you are looking for a book that will take you and your managers to the next level of leadership effectiveness, this text is a "must read". Combine this with an enjoyable read, and you have a great buy in your hands.
~Thomas S. Rittenhouse, President & CEO, Uniform Code Council, Inc.

The meaning of leadership as it's understood by any leader will make or break that person as a leader. How deeply a leader can turn his staff into virtual partners who eagerly share his vision and help him realize his goals will ensure the success of all their efforts. Sussman, Deep, and Stiber's Lost and Found takes essential management credos and illustrates how one leader moves from an initial acceptance of those credos as mere management chestnuts to a realization that they are brief expressions of wisdom that really apply person to person in daily affairs. Digest this book and achieve results.
~Allan McGuffey, Vice President and General Manager, Emazing Services, a Sony subsidiary

A compelling story for all leaders who have faced the realities of their leadership styles in the workplace and personal lives!
~Bill Kline, VP/Chief Learning Officer, Delta Airlines

Lost and Found communicates a simple message, which is the key to success in any business: put people first! The key to achieving that success, however, is not so simple. All leaders, if they are honest with themselves, will be able to relate to the issues with which Larry struggled. In practice, they are rather subtle. In the heat of the battle, they are rather normal. The message in this book is profound! Those who can sincerely and consistently follow a Leadership Credo of KNOW, GROW, OWN will differentiate themselves from managers in leadership roles...because most managers "just don't get it!"
~Raymond T. Betler, President & CEO, Bombardier Transportation (Holdings) USA, Inc.

When the hero of Lost and Found learns that you can't win if other people lose, he learns the essential truth of leadership. And how he learns it makes for some great reading.
~William J. Zalewski, Senior Vice President-Investments, UBS PaineWebber

Just wanted you to know I finished the draft of Lost and Found and LOVED it. The device of a plot kept me far more engaged than the usual struggle I have with business books. It is, after all, a "USA Today" world of short attention spans. This kept me interested. In fact, half way into, I had trouble putting it down. But especially important is the message. It has universal application, but it also had personal application. I can be better and now I know one way to get there. Very meaningful to me personally.
~Hank Thompson, Executive Vice President for Marketing, WYNCOM, Inc.

This book captures the essence of leadership and should be required reading for anyone attending a leadership development program.
~Dave Fisher, Manager, Research and Product Development, Development Dimensions International

In a world driven by speed, efficiency and performance we often lose sight of the importance of process. We become so entrenched in conquering the current landscape that we significantly undervalue how our actions impact others. The authors of this book present a story of one man's journey in gaining new personal insights after being forced to reflect upon his own leadership deficiencies. Such a story becomes a real gift to those of us muddling through our own circumstances. Perhaps it could even prevent us from wandering off our own personal cliffs through the application of some simple leadership principles.
~Michael J. Arena, Ph.D., Director of Organizational Effectiveness, Ingersoll-Rand
