Ultimate Leadership: Winning Execution Strategies for Your Situation
“All the management advice in the world won’t help you much if you can’t adapt it to actual situations. That’s where Russ Palmer stands out. These are smart practical leadership principles that are tried and tested in real-world business circumstances.”
--Edward Whitacre Jr. Chairman Emeritus of AT&T former Chairman and CEO of AT&T and Southwest Bell
“It is very fitting that Ultimate Leadership is authored by Russ Palmer the ultimate leader. It was with his guidance and friendship that I successfully transitioned from four orderly decades as a Marine to the arcane world of corporate America.”
--General P.X. Kelley USMC (Ret.) 28th Commandant of the Marine Corps
“Russ Palmer’s Ultimate Leadership is truly the last book you’ll ever need on the subject. Russ shows once again why he is the dean when it comes to explaining why leadership matters. Ultimate Leadership is the ultimate statement on how leaders in business government and nonprofits alike can keep up with changes and conquer diverse organizational contexts.”
--John J. DiIulio Jr. Frederic Fox Leadership Professor University of Pennsylvania former director White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
“This book about leadership from a contextual viewpoint is nothing short of brilliant. Russ’s easy-to-read book is filled with practical examples of leading from the context of a particular situation. The steps to extraordinary leadership are not hugely different but the applications are endless. Thank you Russ for making sense out of a very disputable subject.”
--Gerard R. Roche Chairman of Heidrick & Struggles

For understanding what actions are required of all leaders--and how those actions must also be tailored to circumstance--Ultimate Leadership is the essential read.”
--Michael Useem Professor of Management and Director of the Center for Leadership at the Wharton School and author of The Go Point: When It’s Time to Decide
