Your drive and determination to achieve success at Manco through the innovative development of quality products that met and surpassed customers' expectations is second to none. Because of your sensitivity, you ensured the success of the 'team' and that of the company. I would highly recommend this book to any young person that is looking to build their ideals, philosophies, and practical guidelines for life. Not only do you provide guidelines that are appropriate for conducting a successful business, but in living a happy and complete Christian life."

- Thomas V.H. Vail, Retired Publisher & Editor, The Plain Dealer

"I did have a chance to read your book, Leading From the Heart. I was inspired and could not put your book down. It touched on many ideas and beliefs that I have felt in my heart and some that I have done from day one. I learned a great deal and will recommend it to anyone who wants to grow in their profession."
- Jim Paxson, President & General Manager, Cleveland Cavaliers

"Your text is a valuable addition to the libraries of men and women who thirst for direction, who wish to combine theory and practice to complete their learning experience, and who can be believers in what they read, due to the accomplishments of the author's own leadership. Well done, Dear Heart! (Your heart is such a huge one, you'd have to lead from it!)"
- Michael A. Clegg, Retired President, Ostendorf-Morris

"We have read your draft of Leading From the Heart and must tell you that it should be required reading for anyone striving for success. Not just in business but in life. As you have illustrated in countless examples, unless 'heart' is in the equation, true success will not follow. Heart + Leadership = True Success."
- John Nottingham & John Spirk, Nottingham Spirk Design Associates, Inc. ($25 billion of designed products sold to-date)

"Leading From the Heart provides great insight as to what is important about running a business. You have written your autobiography of leadership. You have combined basic elements of good leadership with quotes from intellectuals, philosophers, and military leaders. The combination is dynamite."
- Carl Bellini, Retired CEO, Gray Drug & Retired President & CEO, Revco Drug & Advisory Board Member, Henkel Consumer Adhesives

"Jack Kahl invites you in to Manco, where you will feel the heartbeat of every employee winning the Super Bowl for Jack year after year. Leading From the Heart is required reading for every business student in America."
- Larry Morrow, Retired Radio Personality, WWWE & Owner, Larry Morrow Group

"I recommend that Leading From the Heart be sent to Weatherhead School of Business and that it replace all other books they are currently using. This book is the only manual for success that the students will need. Your book is better than a Master's in Business Administration. I would also suggest that the ideas in your book be presented to the entire world. The book should be translated into every language in the world. Your book goes beyond dealing with business. It deals with the basic thing of how to get things done and how to deal with people in every phase of life. It's also good character education because it teaches you to respect people at all levels of society."
- Harry H. Stone, American Greetings Corporation Board Member
