“If you are looking for an extraordinary investment yielding the highest sustained return,
then this book is for you! In Leadership in High-Performance Organizational Cultures,
effective leaders will quickly see where the best investment is and how rapidly
organizations reap the fruit of that investment by implementing Dr. Truskie’s powerful L4
strategy. As a witness to the effectiveness of this model, I recommend you begin with the
front cover and don’t skip a page.”

"Particularly in difficult economic times like these the importance of taking a balanced
culture approach to leadership can keep an organization focused and optimize results.
Leaders at all levels can learn from the L4 framework described in this book."

Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies
"The lessons provided in this book will benefit those privileged to serve in leadership
positions and the organizations they lead. The methods described provide the means to
positively transform organizational culture in such a way that all stake holders feel
valued. This experience, although rewarding for all, is particularly satisfying for the
professional who becomes the agent for change. Not only can these principles be career
changing, but life changing for both the individual and the organization involved."
Robert H. Lange
Director Environmental Control,
U. S. Steel Gary Works
"Leadership in High Performance Organizational Cultures is a welcome addition to the
tools available to the CEO, manager, and performance technologist. This book belongs in
the briefcase, not the bookshelf."

2. "For anyone in a position of leadership, this book is about freedom. Freedom to move
beyond the constraint of 'style' and discover that leadership is about creating the right
culture for an organization. The reader learns that leading culture change can truly be an
acquired skill."
Brian E. Falck
President and Chief Executive Officer
H. J. Heinz Company of Canada Ltd.
"If you only have time to read one book this year on leadership and
organizational/cultural change, this should be the one. It should be required reading for
CEOs and anyone else who wants to make sense out of all the management literature
fighting for shelf-space today. The L4 strategy that Dr. Truskie articulates deserves a
very careful read--not a mere feel-good book."
J. Robert White
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Michael Baker Corporation
Adjunct Professor, Carnegie Mellon University
"This is a truly important contribution that vividly defines how leaders build lasting
success into their organizations. The book offers a new perspective and meaning to the
term 'leadership' that will definitely challenge (and change!) the way many leaders view
their roles as champions of their organization's enduring success. I highly recommend
this to leaders as well as to those who develop and support them."
Gregory R. Spencer
Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer
Equitable Resources, Inc.

"[This book] is enjoyable reading that provides proven information and understandable
knowledge for any executive or manager to live by. Dr. Truskie's real world experiences
and examples show how and offer proof that his L4 strategy works. A must-read for
anyone wanting to become a more effective and respected leader."
Scott L. Bender
President and Chief Executive Officer

3. "[This book] is long overdue and will enhance anyone's understanding of leadership,
leadership styles, and organizational performance."
David J. Meckstroth
President and Chief Executive Officer
Upper Valley Medical Center
“[O]ne of the greatest benefits of [the book] is Truskie's explanation of the potential,
beneficial implications of the L4 Strategy with specific relevance to creating and then
sustaining a high-performance organizational culture. ... Leadership in High-Performance
Organizational Cultures can be of even greater value as all organizations (regardless of
their size or nature) proceed into an otherwise uncertain future.”
