Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up

PRAISE FOR Reboot

"In these beautifully written pages —full of engaging stories, bedrock truths, and practical tools—you'll learn about Jerry's way of working, about the man himself, and about yourself. Life offers no guarantees, but this book will help heal you and transform the way you work, to the benefit of all concerned."

-PARKER J. PALMER, author of On the Brink of Everything,

Let Your Life Speak, and The Courage to Teach

"Solid and full, this book is pure Jerry. It's overflowing with love and care and, most of all, truth. The truth any of us can embrace if we care enough: You are not alone. This isn't a book about leadership; it's a book about being human. Which, of course, makes it the essential book about leadership. The one to read first and the one to read last."

-SETH GODIN, author of Linchpin

"An unusually raw and revealing exploration of how our leadership journeys are shaped by the defining moments of our childhood."

-ADAM GRANT, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take

"If you want to be a better leader or a better person or both, read this book. A beautifully written, achingly honest account of why you can't grow a business without growing yourself."

-ANGELA DUCKWORTH, author of Grit, founder and CEO of Character Lab, and the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania

"Jerry's book is so much more than the secrets of the CEO whisperer.

I's about the courage to have a broken-open heart."

-PATTY McCORD, former chief talent officer at Nerflix and aurhor of Powerful

"Jerry and I learned how to be VCs together. But, more important, we learned how to be humans to the leaders who are entrepreneurs. Leadership is extremely difficult, and great leaders are intensely introspective, as they must learn about themselves to be effective over the long term. With this book, Jerry helps any leader go deep on all aspects of the journey."
