Praise for The Visionary Leader 

“The Visionary Leader: The Success Principles of The World’s Greatest Visionaries goes beyond most discussions of leadership to inject the concept of vision into the process. While this addition may initially seem like a small adjustment, in fact, it represents a big divergence from many books about leadership, in that it promotes visionary thinking as a major part of the leadership process.” - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“Readers will leave Smeltzer’s work with increased awareness of how to recognize—and transform into—a visionary leader, as he maintains a strong focus throughout and offers a wealth of real-life examples to enhance understanding.”  - Sr. Critic Review, BookLife /Publishers Weekly
