From the easier-said-than-done resolution to avoid gossip to the it’s-as-hard-as-it-sounds process of building up your self-awareness, Allgeier has filled her book with the life lessons we never seem to fully learn the first time we hear them. (Or maybe that’s just me!)” –Mike Staver, CEO of The Staver Group; author of Do You Know How to Shut Up?

And if they won’t follow you, your organization won’t meet its goals. Sandy Allgeier explains that personal credibility comes down to a simple truth: It’s not about the type of person you are; it’s about the types of things you do. If you want to be a great leader, read The Personal Credibility Factor.” –Quint Studer, CEO and founder of Studer Group®; bestselling author of Results That Last: Hardwiring Behaviors That Will Take Your Company to the Top and Hardwiring Excellence: Purpose, Worthwhile Work, Making a Difference “Personal credibility has everything to do with how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves.
