"Beyond Luck is a book that will remain on my desk, not on a shelf. Every page offers practical advice for managers and leaders in tackling the challenges of their daily work. John Langhorne’s thoughtful wisdom serves as the voice of an executive coach, helping anyone dedicated to being the best leader than can be for their organization and for their employees."
Gayle Roberts - President, Stanley Consultants
"John Langhorne's un-book addresses issues that managers and leaders deal with on a daily basis. The brief article format makes the sometimes-overwhelming problems that leaders face less daunting. The un-book makes it very easy for busy people to read, consider and act on. Though the articles are short, they are not short on practical wisdom — wisdom borne of John’s depth and breadth of on-the-ground consulting experience and of his relentless tracking of best business practices. Whether approached an article at a time, or in several longer reads, anyone committed to improving business quality and productivity will find Beyond Luck a valuable resource."
Sue Ekberg, Ph.D. - Owner, Career Focus
"I have enjoyed reading John Langhorne's book Beyond Luck. I found the articles to be quick primers on a wide variety of topics of interest to any manager wanting to excel at their craft. Each was applicable, timely and helpful to me as I considered issues within my business. They also provided many references to full articles where I could find out more about each topic."
