Lead for a Change

“Dr. Glickman is one of the finest thought leaders I have worked with in the two decades of my academic career. I have collaborated with him on business case studies that are being used in several business schools across the world. I can promise readers that Dr. Glickman’s ideas on leadership in this book are not only creative and unconventional, but also can help sow seeds of leadership in the minds of readers. The ideas in this book are definitely worth learning for students of leadership, as well as practitioners at any stage of their career journey.”

—Dr. Ranganathan Chandrasekaran, Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago

“Lead for a Change: Proven Strategies for Clarifying Expectations, Fostering Growth, and Achieving Breakthroughs is going to help a lot of leaders build thriving teams. And thriving teams are happier, don’t need to work weekends, and enjoy economic prosperity. I wish I had this book early in my career as a leader. If I had these frameworks, I would have had the courage and the tools to have conversations that would have completely changed the trajectory of several of my team’s early outcomes, from minor improvements to breakthroughs. Thank you for writing this book, Ron!”

—J. Scott, Founder, 120VC

“Ron’s skills transcend the tech world and have made me a better actor/artist today. Doc has a way of steering you in the right direction while you remain in the driver’s seat. You walk away with a clear mind, the confidence to face your challenges, and only one question: How did he do that? Well . . . now we know!”

—Nicholas Christopher, Broadway actor and singer

“Being in senior management roles within Information Technology for over 30 years, I didn’t think this ‘old dog’ could learn new tricks; however, Lead for a Change has provided me insight as to who I am as a leader and what I can do if I strive to evolve, and the tools to use to support my progression. Thank you, Dr. Glickman, for sharing your insightful journey.”

—Tracy Angelini, Sr. Director, IT Services, Trader Joe’s Company

“Ron leads by example. As his son, I was raised on the ‘business parables’ shared in Lead for a Change. Now, in my role as a Manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) driving change at retailers across the US, these lessons are shaping the way I engage with business leaders, peers, my own teams, and clients. What Ron taught me as a father and a leader has enabled me to successfully navigate the complexities of an ever-changing world with dexterity. I encourage anyone wanting to hone their ability to empower others, lead with empathy, and navigate change to read this book. It’s easy to read and a great tool if you’re new to your role or have years of experience.”

—Max Herschel Glickman, Manager, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
