Larry Ackerman

Larry Ackerman is a leading authority on personal and organizational identity. He has written extensively on the impact of identity on how we live, work and learn, and has published two groundbreaking books on the subject: Identity Is Destiny: Leadership and the Roots of Value Creation and The Identity Code: The 8 Essential Questions for Finding Your Purpose and Place in the World.

Jones of the Old Shoes, a fable, is Larry’s first book written expressly for children, specifically, for tweens. His aim is to help young people gain a head-start in developing their unique identities – the natural gifts that reveal who they are and the potential they hold for making a meaningful and lasting contribution to others over the course of their lives.
