Praise for The Magic of Leadership
"I recommend Mike Toy's new book on leadership. I have read many books on this subject and written a few myself. Mike knows and teaches what I finally learned about leadership and that for me is to not underestimate what you can achieve and don't underestimate you influence on others day in and day out. I personally don't believe leaders are born; I believe they 'become, ' as Mike so clearly teaches us in his book. There are 90 year old leaders and 12 year old leaders. Doing the hard stuff and doing the right stuff is the main job of a leader. If you can't make hard decision and have hard conversations, don't have children and don't take on a leadership position. Management is about 'doing' and leadership is about 'being.' If you want to 'be' then study this book to learn what you need to start 'doing' to 'be' the best leader you can 'be.' And figure out what you need to stop doing."
Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President (Retired and Inspired), Walt Disney World(R)Resort
"In world where leadership is often "done wrong," Mike - through the pages of history - identifies the traits, attributes, and behaviors of leadership "done right." Filled with practical applications, Mike's work will help leaders recalibrate their business compass."
