REVIEWS
“So, why should a new leadership book be worthy of capturing our attention…? The answer is Tom Reid’s new dynamic approach to defining and measuring leadership. His treatise implements a unique project management method based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) concept to outline 229 essential elements of leadership. This idea is conceptually simple, yet brilliant in its execution. The result is the creation of a lexicon that can well serve as a common ‘measuring stick’ where leadership can be discussed, learned, and assessed via a common language.” – JOHN B. WYATT III, JD, Professor of Finance, Real Estate, and Law; California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California
Praise From The Pros
“I am in total agreement with you that many (most?) of the world’s problems are the result of failure of leadership, some by omission and some, sadly, by commission…. congratulations on a huge effort and an outstanding product.” -Norman R. Augustine
“Tom Reid’s Sustained Leadership WBS is the first comprehensive identification and assessment of the critical elements essential to lead people and organizations for sustained success. The graphic decomposition of the knowledge, skills and competencies makes this a practical learning tool for the seasoned leader as well as the aspiring novice. Thanks, Tom.” –Daniel M. Jacobs, Chairman/CEO The Federal Market Group
“I used a variety of leadership training materials and texts in my years as a college dean, but I have never seen anything even approaching Sustained Leadership WBS, with its encyclopedic view of all the various elements—229 of them—that contribute to becoming, sustaining, and developing oneself as a leader. Bravo to Tom Reid for producing a useful textbook on leadership!” –Dr. David Stameshkin, Associate Dean (retired) Franklin & Marshall College
“Sustained Leadership WBS is a scholarly, but easy to read treatment of various leadership principles and philosophies. Tom’s concentration on “sustained” leadership, and his attendant work breakdown structure (WBS) to achieve “sustained” leadership, can be very useful tool for both those already in leadership positions and potential leaders. Well done.”- Len Vincent RADM USN (RET). Formerly Commander, Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC) and Commandant, Defense Systems Management College (DSMC)

I learned important information which I will take with me into my job.”
“Outstanding well-rounded instructor. Was able to go off course to fully answer a question, then come right back to the subject. Instructor well prepared and course flowed very logically. Even though the subject is complex and intertwined I was able to keep track. Good job.”
