Book Review:
How is leadership manifested? In this memoir and motivational book, Dr. Calloway outlines a program for aspiring leaders that answers this question. For those looking to improve and develop skills and step up the leadership ladder the strength of this book supports the notion that regardless of the circumstances of early life, in Dr. Calloways case poverty, anyone with the right drive and commitment can rise above difficulties and be all that they can be. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

Hollywood Book Reviews
The wise counsel offered by Jesse Calloway throughout [this book] should provide a solid platform for achieving success and becoming a leader. The first section of his book is autobiographical and candidly shares memories from his precarious childhood, including living in poverty with five siblings, the death of a parent, and a home life under the care of an aunt and uncle who had six children of their own. Rather than overwhelming or defeating Calloway, however, these challenges steeled him One of the most useful chapters, Lessons Learned and Lessons Shared, is a potpourri of topics, including mentors, bosses, peers, customers, collaboration, feedback, first impressions, second chances, and telling the truth [it] reads very much as if Calloway is providing one-on-one coaching to the reader.
