“Words strung together in a meaningful and thoughtful manner can often be incredible and powerful works of art – and that’s exactly what Becoming the New Boss is. This book is a must-read for all those aspiring to be the world’s next Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos as well as for those already in leadership positions. As Naphtali highlights throughout the book, being a great leader goes well beyond oversight and discipline. It involves placing the values of your team and the organization ahead of all else – and Naphtali walks the reader how to do just that.”
“One of the greatest mistakes I’ve seen businesses make repeatedly is the promotion of a high-performing employee to a leadership role without teaching the employee how to lead others. As Naphtali Hoff explains, leadership is about much more than exceptional performance. Every new or emerging leader should read this book and follow the easy steps he sets forth to prepare for day one and the leadership journey that follows.”
