Raves and Reviews
"Leaders must be increasingly adept at navigating a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. To succeed, they must possess the ability to lead their teams and organizations through transformational change. Lead Extraordinary Change is a must-read playbook for any leader who seeks to do this effectively, informing the 'what' and inspiring the 'how.'"
Brad Smith
President, Marshall University; Former Chairman and CEO, Intuit
"Mamie’s playbook for Leading Extraordinary Change is the best kind of business book, because rather than an academic analysis it is based on her wonderful career path from a successful individual contributor to an extremely competent leader. Mamie’s examples are persuasive, and her lessons profound. It's a great tutorial to help you in your journey to management success. I was honored to have her lead development at Travelocity.com."
Terrell Jones

"As SVP of product development at Intuit, Mamie drove extraordinary transformation of team, process, and product. She took over a group that was behind and resistant to change, and up-leveled and inspired the team, modernized their processes, modernized their technology, got them innovating architecture and features, moved them to web and then cloud, ultimately passing the competition by. Mamie has codified her approaches in her new book, Lead Extraordinary Change. It's an engaging read and a proven playbook."
Tayloe Stansbury
CEP, Kaleidescape; Former CTO, Intuit
