No Ordinary People

Linda Haley

Discover your best traits

and find extraordinary success

What are your unique gifts and strengths? What makes a good leader? The answers to these questions are exactly the same.

No Ordinary People provides a funny, straightforward look at twenty-three “ordinary” people across three decades who got the job done right, each in their own way. Spanning careers in business, military, and law enforcement, these extraordinary leaders prove that you don’t need any special training to bring out the best in people. And that you don’t need to do things in any way but your own.

Through one success story after another, each one vastly different from the next, you’ll walk away from No Ordinary People with a new plan to make the most of your team’s unique gifts, and with a new role model for the very best person to lead them—YOU.
