    <![CDATA[The business world is ready for an entirely new approach to leadership. Steve Farber has written the perfect book to energize business leaders and help them make the leap into extreme leadership. In fact, taking a giant <strong>&quot;L.E.A.P.&quot;&quot;</strong> forward is exactly what Farber prescribes. What exactly is an extreme leader? One who cultivates <strong>love</strong>, generates <strong>energy</strong>, inspires <strong>audacity</strong>, and provides <strong>proof</strong>. <p> <p>In his exciting and innovative new business parable, <em>The Radical Leap</em>, Farber explores an entirely new leadership model, one in which leaders are not afraid to take risks, make mistakes in front of employees, or actively solicit employee feedback. His book dispenses with the typical, tired notions of what it means to be a leader. <p> <p>Farber, former Vice President and Official Mouthpiece of the <em>Tom Peters Company</em>, has written a business parable like no other, filled with vivid, fully realized, and eccentric characters, crazy plot twists, honest and believable conversations about leadership, and most importantly, an innovative program for leaders to inspire and engage their companies. <p> <p>In <em>The Radical Leap</em>, we meet Steve, a leadership consultant who is intrigued and challenged by an enigmatic man named Edg, from whom he learns the concept of <strong>L.E.A.P.</strong> Steve is then asked to help a friend, Janice, overcome conflicts at the biotech company where she works and bring back the company's inspiring former CEO. The company is revitalized, having undergone a radical and successful transformation. <p> <p>Farber's book reveals the questions leaders must ask themselves in order to truly become extreme leaders, including: <p>Why do I love my business, my employees, and my customers, and how can I show them how I feel? What effect do my actions have on the energy of the people around me? (OR, what are the unnecessary, time-consuming, bureaucratic policies and procedures that suck our energy?) How are we going to change the world of our company, our employees, customers, marketplace, and industry? What have I done today to show my commitment to my colleagues and customers?</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In his bestselling book <em>The Radical Leap</em>, Steve Farber introduced readers to Extreme Leadership, showing them how to renew their passion and excitement and become committed to changing the world for the better by disregarding normal constraints.<p>Now, Farber takes readers to an even higher level of self-discovery in <em>The Radical Edge</em>. Management guru Steve is back, working with young Senior VP Cameron Summerfield, who has superstar sales skills but a severe and demoralizing leadership style. Along the way, both Steve and Cameron learn how taking responsibility for making the future markedly better than the present can improve the world. Readers will learn answers to these questions:<p>&#8226;How can people amp up their lives to amazing levels of achievement?<p>&#8226;If individuals assume personal responsibility, can customers, companies, and employees change for the better?<p>&#8226;Is it really possible to shake off inertia and transform your work&#8212;and your life?<p>&quot;The best book you&#8217;ll read this year. Captivating from the first page and jam packed with invaluable lessons. This is a must read. <em>The Radical Edge</em> is terrific!&quot;&quot; --Jason Jennings New York Times bestselling author <em>It&#8217;s Not The Big That Eat The Small &#8211; It&#8217;s The Fast That Eat The Slow, Less is More and Think BIG Act Small</em><p>&quot;Farber&#8217;s style is disarmingly honest as he gives us a playbook for harnessing the power of the human spirit. Invite your team to read <em>The Radical Edge</em> and you&#8217;ll have a lasting framework to move your life and business forward.&quot;&quot; --Simon Billsberry CEO Kineticom (#33 on the Inc. 500, 2005)<p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;Two families came together in the waiting room of a Denver hospital on May 11, 2004, to await kidney transplants for loved ones. In the first operation, Gregg Farber, 32, a real estate executive, donated a kidney to his father, Steve, a 60-year-old Denver lawyer and power broker. In the second, Guatemalan refugee and landscaper Ernesto Delaroca, also 32, donated a kidney to his sister Sandra, 19, a restaurant worker. The stories of how the Farber and Delaroca families made their separate journeys to the operating room offers insight into the hazards and inequities of a cobbled-together system that each year leaves more than 98,000 gravely ill Americans on the waiting list for a life-saving transplant. Steve Farber’s experience inspired him to write <em>On the List </em>with Harlan Abrahams. They examine the ethical, legal, political, and economic debates over organ transplant policies, expose the gray market for transplants in Third World countries, and propose solutions to one of the world’s most pressing health issues. An informative and inspiring guide to those who face transplant operations, the book is also a call to reform a system that is truly, and fatally, flawed.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
