Leaders who use this book can expect impressive business and culture-building results." -Joe Bonito, SVP, Bank of America (after Coach & Pfizer) "I have worked with PrimeGenesis twice in the last 24 months, first as a private equity investor and most recently as a first time leader of a company. In both cases, their process and facilitation created nearly immediate alignment around our strategy and tactics that dramatically accelerated value creation. We accomplished nearly a year of positive change within a month." -Ryan Heckman, Private Equity Investor "In a hyper-competitive environment, it's imperative that senior leaders - particularly CEOs - have as many tools as possible at their disposal.

The PrimeGenesis methodology is a key component of a successful onboarding toolkit." - Harry Somerdyk, Director, Talent Management and Executive Recruitment, RFE Investment Partners (Private Equity) "This program helps assure success through accelerated learning, and helps leaders avoid common pitfalls and barriers that often derail new leaders.
