Praise for
DeLinda Forsythe and Inspiring Generational Leadership
Inspiring Generational Leadership is the first book to focus on the relevance of conscious capitalism and its alignment with millennials and Gen Z values.
"Inspiring Generational Leadership takes the reader on a journey that reveals how simple it is for an organization, regardless of size, to embody the indispensable values of the conscious capitalism movement. DeLinda’s writing style and interviews with fellow conscious leaders makes the journey even more enjoyable. She reminds us of the value of dreams; maybe none of us can make the world better, but all of us doing our part can make a significant impact for future generations."

"DeLinda Forsythe is a leader who appreciates the value of people. I love how she utilized the book Raving Fans to transform ICE into an employee-centric organization that serves both customers and community. As more leaders share their success stories of leading with compassion and abundance, we’ll see a shift toward application of the tenets of conscious capitalism as well as the philosophies of servant leadership, which we teach and live by at The Ken Blanchard Companies."
