Mitch and Louellen explore the often unspoken, but very real topic of mistakes and recoveries.

Before Breaking the Code of Silence, Mitch brought us the highly popular Fast Forward Leadership, the book he co-authored with Dr. Louellen Essex, a Number-3 business best seller ("What Corporate America is Reading" - Knight Ridder Tribune News Service).

Based on a research study Louellen and Mitch conducted on the most successful and innovative leadership practices worldwide, Fast Forward Leadership describes the seven outmoded practices leaders must stop doing immediately, along with their replacement strategies.
