Imagine: an army of these outstanding leaders running your organization.

The Organizational Champion is a priceless tool for enacting positive change through the use of an innovative new leadership model.

Mike Thompson created the Organizational Champion philosophy to help such clients as Wal-Mart, P&G, Dillard’s, Tyson, VF Corporation, and J.B. Hunt enact positive change in their respective industries. Thompson now puts his proven leadership method to paper for the first time.

• Execute transformational change
• Inspire high-performance teams
• Drive organizational growth and value

The result of hundreds of interviews with CEOs and executives, thousands of surveys, and untold hours of painstaking research, Thompson’s leadership method will steer your organization well into the twenty-first century, where profits and growth await.
