“Dean McKinney’s The 5 Truths of Remarkable Leaders surprised me in the best way. The world of business has always been a mystery for me but felt way outside the bounds of what I’m personally able to comprehend. Maybe that’s why it’s been such a mystery. But The 5 Truths of Remarkable Leaders cracked some of that code in a way that left me feeling eager to learn more; it made me want to change how I saw things, how I saw the world and the people in it, their jobs, in particular. You will walk away from this book after reading it, but it will linger a long while in your mind. It will sit with you like those precious few books you come across once in a decade, and for this reason, I highly recommend it.”

“Technology changes. Capabilities change. Human nature, as evidenced by history, really does not change. The truths Dean highlights in this book were true a hundred years ago, and will be unchanged a hundred years from now. I enjoyed the chapter on being prepared, specifically the phrase “Practice Makes Permanence.” This has application in both our personal and professional lives.”
