A sage of wisdom, it is full of life lessons that can be applied in both the work and personal setting. Having known Gary personally, I aspire to be as fulfilled and optimistic about life as he is and this book serves as a wonderful, encouraging guide and reminder of how to approach each and every day with a positive outlook and attitude. An easy read packed with great advice, Lead Or Get Out Of The Way is a book I long to share with others because I see it truly as a gift of spirit – a testament to living a good and happy life.

Easy to read!
Gary used easy, relatable examples that really drove home his points. The chapters weren't lengthy and it was so easy to grasp and remember the concepts. I feel motivated to become a better leader after reading this.

Great insight and well written
From the very beginning Gary walks you through little steps to help people become better leaders and better individuals. There is no Indispensable Man. Read the poem, you will understand. Great book for not only leaders, but for everyone.
