--Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader and Distinguished Professor of Business, USC
"I love the word 'Wow.' And though I've by now 'seen it all, ' or most of it anyway, I found myself saying 'Wow' time and time again as I highlighted my way through Everybody Wins. The RE/MAX saga--the story of a huge industry turned upside-down and inside-out by an outrageously bold dream, incredible tenacity, and uncommon business sense--yields inspiring and practical lessons for all of us. As I said, 'Wow.' "
--Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence

--Steve Steinour, Chairman, Mid-Atlantic Regional Banking, Citizens Bank
