"Stimulating and rewarding. The Quest For Authentic Power shows Ross Lawford at his thoughtful and thought-provoking best. A must-read for anyone concerned with personal or organizational success."

"Ross Lawford's message is so profound that for the past six years I have offered opportunities for the people I care about most, including my colleagues at work, to hear what he has to say. As with all great truths, Ross's message speaks to our inner wisdom-we know it to be true at the deepest level of our being. And, as with all great truths, the challenge lies in making it a daily practice. Fortunately, Ross offers many suggestions to support each of us in finding our own path."

"I have experienced occasional glimpses of authentic power, as described by Ross Lawford, only to have my ego rise up to wrench control of my actions and words once more; even as I consciously watch it happen. The Quest for Authentic Power will be kept close by as I strive to replace my stumbling blocks with a stepping stones."

"As valuable as a business handbook as it is as a classic self-realization manual. Clear, concise and inspiring."

"A wise and thorough examination of a whole new way of thinking."

"Cutting edge book ... provides practical pointers for achieving your deepest desires without manipulation, coercion, or intimidation."

"Lawford reframes the concept of power, leaving behind its Machiavellian connotations for a more synergistic, internally generated way of leading."

"A thoughtful and practical treatise on real power. Too bad the leaders of Enron, etc. did not read this book."
