“Leadership Sopranos Style contains valuable lessons about leadership that you won’t learn in school and maybe not even on the job. Debbie Himsel is a true expert in the field of practical leadership techniques, and shares her knowledge about what works – and what doesn’t in a funny, but seriously provocative examination of how to be a high-performing boss in the 21st century.”
-Andrea Jung
Chairman & CEO
Avon Products, Inc.
“Leadership Sopranos Style is a fun book. Debbie is an astute observer of practices of leadership. She distills the wisdom and the insights even from a medium that’s entertainment. You will enjoy it, and many of the tips will be helpful to you.”
-Ram Charan, Author of What the CEO Wants You to Know and Coauthor of the best selling book, Execution
“From someone who has never watched The Sopranos, the description of this leader (Tony) is incredibly rich, finely detailed and immensely entertaining. Tony is the perfect case study…but Debbie is the real leader here. A great addition to the literature on leadership.”
-Janet Spencer, Partner, Head of International Operations, Mercer Delta Consulting, LLC, and Coauthor, Executive Teams.
“I truly admire Debbie’s ability to ‘connect the dots’ with the show and leadership. I will watch The Sopranos with a very different ear and eye from this day forward.”
-Lisa Berman, President and CEO, The Picture People, A Hallmark Company
“Leadership Sopranos Style is a home run! It takes you through critical leadership concepts in a way that is direct, pragmatic, and entertaining. A refreshing and substantive read – the author knows business, knows leaders, and knows how to engage her audience.”
- Jean-Pierre Decosterd, President/CEO, Foods Divisions, The Americas Quest International
“A truly innovative book. Even if you’ve never seen the show, the book provides an entertaining way to understand the dynamics of a strong leader. Although most of us don’t live in Tony’s world, there are lessons about leadership that are definitely transferable. The book provides practical advice for real-world managers about how to be the best leader you can be.”
-Jill Kanin-Lovers, Senior Vice President, human Resources and Workplace Management, Avon Products, Inc.
“If the mythical heroes and villains of folklore could be used to write books on leadership, why not a book on the leadership of Tony Soprano and the mob. Ignoring Tony’s business ethics, this witty and well -written book is fun to read. Much can be learned from Tony’s ten tough choices – his most challenging business decisions.”
-Bernard M. Bass, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Center for Leadership Studies,
Binghamton University
“This is a unique and brilliant way to look at leadership.”
- Stephen H. Rhinesmith, CDR International, Author of a Manager’s Guide to Globalization
