John Renesch is a unique talent -- previously an editor of important books and anthologies, the founder and editor of the best newsletter on leadership ever produced, a thoughtful and insightful futurist and a man who walks his talk. He's the first person I think of when I want "straight talk" about organizations in the twenty-first century and my role as a leader.

John Renesch's address to our club on the anniversary of September 11 was timely and provocative. The fact that this program was chosen for radio broadcast made it available to many people who could not attend. He makes you think!

He is the single most important harbinger on the business scene. He points the way boldly.

Former Industry Week Editor-at-Large Tom Brown:
Renesch talks about leadership that is plainly not in evidence in most companies today…W. Edwards Deming was no instant hero… Peter Drucker has confessed that not all of his clients…welcomed his counsel. Is John Renesch in that league? Read his writings yourself, then decide.
