I first met Steve eight years ago at one of my executive events in Atlanta. That year he became a member of my inner circle and I coached and mentored him personally over the next year.
At dinner during that first event, I challenged him to write a set of 5 rules he could teach and coach from and he did just that. Those 5 foundational behavior rules he follows, his teams follow, and his family has followed over these last eight years and is legacy building at its best. Now to see it come to life in his first book is thrilling to me. “ As I always say, leadership is influence, and he’s used his influence to lead thousands of team members in the grocery companies he’s led across the country since then. I know he’s sharing severa l things in this book we teach at the John Maxwell companies, and I’m especially happy he shares a top leadership lesson my father taught me; “walk slowly through the crowds”. I encourage you to “walk slowly through the chapters of this book”. Its’ pages are filled with common sense – everyday leadership lessons that can truly change your world and your own inner circle.
