Editorial Reviews

The best learning is delivered in engaging stories and clear, understandable concepts. Larry Nordhagen delivers on both counts in A.R.T.ful Leadership. Here is a book that is a great read and a powerful learning tool. Every leader, regardless of their level of experience will benefit from his model of creating greater connections with the people within their organizations, which in turns creates improved results.

Michael Howe

Larry has created an exceptionally valuable roadmap on how to be or become a highly effective leader. The three tenets of A.R.T.ful Leadership ring true for me with Trust being most significant in this time of financial pressure and global competition.I highly recommend A.R.T.ful Leadership both as a book and a guide to living a rewarding life, both personally and professionally.

Jim Woodburn

For those of us who find ourselves as company leaders (at whatever level/size/maturity), we need to learn how to effect change, particularly when it comes to performance issues. Typically there is only one class of challenge where we ignore this tried and trusted path—ourselves. So if Larry can persuade one more person to 'park the ego' and get to work (through A.R.T.ful Leadership), his efforts will have been of service.

Mike Hartley

This is an excellent book that captures the vital elements needed for a successful diversity and inclusion practice, and it illuminates the influential skills required to lead today’s constantly changing business environment.

Eric Watson

A.R.T. ful Leadership, what a book! Excellent, brilliant, a must for any organization to add to their library; to implement if they want to run a successful organization. Keep it Simple; and YES by implementing A.R. T. ful Leadership within your organization you will be running an outstanding successful company. I LOVE the Four Key Steps and the Reflection Journal.
