“A moving experience—somewhat like hearing a rare public talk by a revered elder. Now a business consultant, Ellis has a calm manner of delivering advice on such topics such as communication, loyalty, group cohesion, and, of course, adhering to one’s principles. But it’s the steady stream of first-person POW experiences that rivets attention and holds this wisdom together. These are stories that will make listeners reach inside for their highest self before doing anything as a leader.”
