Nonsense Sold as Pure Gold
I also worked both with and for Mr. Wenderlich, and I can assure you that his success had little to do with his leadership skills. Ray is a gifted motivator, this is true: and there are times when organizations get beaten down and need lifting up. Ray was the right guy at the right time. But there is where it ends. Ray totally lacks any decency and integrity where his coworkers are concerned. People who work for him are intimidated and otherwise unduly pressured to make Ray look good. Leaders lead by example, not by writing books about themselves. I would not advise anyone to learn from the example set by Mr. Raymond Wenderlich.In reality, Ray's simple parables are more of a tribute to himself than anything else. Undoubtedly, Ray is one of those guys who has a list of 50 things he wants to do before he dies, and writing a mind-numbing, useless tome to himself is one of them. I was one of the first to read his book. It sent eyes rolling everywhere. I would not advise you to buy this book unless you have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. In that case, Mr. Wenderlich's book will set you down the right path.

The ABC's of Successful Leadership
I teach a course on Leadership Principles in the Call Center industry. Ray's book provides excellent insight on what is important in leading large groups of people and motivating them to peak performance. We use numerous excerpts from Ray's book in our course material. The book is an efficient and effective manual on the "art" of leadership.
