Dr. Parson's new book on "Leadership from Ordinary to
Extraordinary" is an extraordinary book. Once you start reading this book,
you will be motivated to read it to the last page. When completing the book, I
was motivated to go and begin the activities on page 12. This book is an
excellent teaching and learning tool for individuals who are graduating from
high school, college, or any learning institution, Individuals who are making
permanent changes in their life, retiring from the military or civilian jobs,
beginning a new job, seminars, and training classes.
The information in this book would also be beneficial for
individuals to reevaluate their personal lives in leadership in their homes and
community. Peggie J. Dilworth Parson
This is a must have book for anyone aspiring to become a
successful leader in the 21st century. It is formatted to meet the needs of any
business, family, or organization that wants to move up to the next level of
success. I particularly enjoyed the spiritual reference throughout the book. I
know for a fact with God all things are possible. Dr. Parson did a tremendous
job with the selection of activities. I found myself re-assessing my own
leadership qualities after answering the questions at the end of each section.
I have recommended the book to all of my family, friends, and acquaintances. It
is most definitely a MUST HAVE book for becoming successful in the 21st
Century. I have always believed that you must take care of yourself first and
everything else will flow just as indicated in chapter two of the book.
Knowledge is power. I am truly inspired after reading this book that being an
ORDINARY person just will not do, I have moved up the ladder to EXTRAORDINARY
status. My hats off to Dr. Parson. May you be inspired to write a second
edition. Deborah Ann Minor
