Review: ""The "Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus"" offers good guidance. With humor that sometimes borders on too-cute, (co?)author Eric Harvey easily relates the business issues of the North Pole to that of, really, any workplace. His advice can be repetitive, but it's sound and simple enough to implement quickly; in fact, each chapter ends with quick takeaways and the book itself wraps up with checklists and final reminders. That's a nice surprise at this busiest of times." - Twin Cities Business

"I've always loved Santa Claus - and now that I know his leadership secrets, I love him even more! Read this book and learn how returning to your childhood can make you a better adult-and a better leader." - Ken Blanchard, New York Times bestselling author of The One Minute Manager

"This is a short, fun and yet helpful business book... This book won't take you long to read; it's full of lists (what else would you expect from Santa?) and summaries. But that doesn't mean it's short on actionable information-far from it... The book makes a great stocking stuffer for entrepreneurs-and you don't need to believe in Santa to find the information helpful and actionable." - Small Business Forum

"This revised and republished book is a quirky, friendly and quite open guide for managers and leaders at all levels, wrapped around some yuletide jocularity. Many of the challenges that Santa Claus has are relevant to any company: personnel, public image, logistics, production, facilities management and so on... Yes, the concept may appear a bit of a cliche, yet the author manages to straddle the line between being humorous and being informative... All in all, an interesting, different book with an attractive price tag to match. Something to consider this Christmas, possibly for a friend, a colleague and, of course, one for yourself?" - Autamme.com
