Praise for Getting It Right "Bartkus and Conlon deftly examine and lend insights into an often overlooked yet essential element of leadership. Their message is an important one for the challenge of our times: that great leaders must stay true to their values when solving problems and making tough decisions. ?I have traveled far and wide, and in my experience, there is no substitute for clarity in thought, tenacity in action, and unwavering commitment to values in the hearts of great leaders." -Father Theodore Hesburgh, CSC, president emeritus, University of Notre Dame "Why wasn't this terrific book written years ago? It is only about the two essential ingredients of leadership: problem solving and values. Great problem solvers drive economic and societal progress, their values provide them the rudder needed to guide that problem solving. I highly recommend this book to all who practice or study leadership. Well done!"-Steve Coley, director emeritus, McKinsey & Company "No organization can hope for long-term success without an embedded, problem-solving culture within its management team. Given the complexity and globalization in today's world, survival demands adroit action. Bartkus and Conlon have provided sound logic and insight to this management imperative." -James?D.?Sinegal, president and chief executive officer, Costco Wholesale "Leadership can come packaged in different ways.?Viva Bartkus and Ed Conlon have unwrapped the elementary package.?They help sharpen our focus. Bundling commitment, integrity, decisiveness with clarity and discipline points us to strong leadership.?Their approach is simple, straightforward, and easily understood.?It is highly recommended reading."? -Andrew J. McKenna, chairman, McDonald's Corporation "Bartkus and Conlon brilliantly develop the case that leaders need to be good problem solvers. The amazing aspect of this book is that this point is so lacking in the leadership literature. Bartkus and Conlon are truly pointing in a constructive new direction. ?I recommend it to leaders, aspiring leaders, and those who study leadership." -Max H. Bazerman, Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School "In today's?hyper-competitive business environment, leaders?are pressed to make decisions that are short-term and one dimensional.?This study puts forward a welcomed path of decision-making for thoughtful leaders.? I commend Viva Bartkus and Ed Conlon for an approach that is both practical and theoretically rich." -Nathan O. Hatch, president, Wake Forest University
