Leith Puts Eight Years of EDGES Work into Book
by Rob Keys
Patti Leith, one of the managing partners of Bentonville-based
EDGES Inc., has published a book that reflects many of her
company’s teachings, strategies and philosophies.
“Judge Not: A Guide to Influence People Who Think Differently” is
140 pages and the culmination of a formal process that lasted nine
months. Leith said she worked on the book “meticulously” a half-
day per week until it was finished.
“This book has both personal and professional applications,” Patti
Leith said. “The predominant theme is business, but there is some
personal stuff in there, too.”
2. In a nutshell, the book outlines six steps to “enable your ideas to be
embraced by others and to allow for dialogue that will impact your
thinking to be better than it is on your own.”
Essentially, however, the book is a companion piece to the
trademarked Inter Face Methods tool EDGES has employed since
2004.
EDGE’s services include everything from business planning and
strategic implementation to leadership coaching and development
and culture/change management.
The Inter Face tool is designed to teach participants about their own
style of personal communication, while also helping them
understand and respond to the different styles that surround them.
“As soon as I wrote that, I knew I wanted to write the book,” Leith
said.
EDGES was formed in 2001 and its other managing partner is
Leith’s husband, Ken.
Their client list is broad in scope and size, ranging from J.B. Hunt
Transport Services Inc. to a local pediatric clinic that employs 10.
