Reading Rob Kaplan’s brilliant new book, 'What to Ask the Person in the Mirror', is like being coached by a great mentor. Written clearly and lucidly,
with dozens of real-world examples, Kaplan’s savvy and practical advice
results from hundreds of outstanding leaders he has mentored successfully.
Don’t just read it—incorporate his ideas into your leadership.

John C. Whitehead, former cochairman, Goldman Sachs & Co.;
former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State

The world today cries out for leadership. This is the best book I’ve ever
read on the subject, with lots of good ideas for both experienced leaders,
as well as those who aspire to lead.

Luis Ubiñas, President, Ford Foundation

Rob Kaplan’s insight is not simply that leaders must know how to ask the right questions. It’s that regular, purposeful, and thoughtful inquiry is truly the bedrock on which consistently great careers and great results are built. It’s a practice he makes meaningful no matter what your sector, how large your enterprise,
or how deep your experience. There’s practical wisdom on every page.

Narayana Murthy, Chairman, Infosys Technologies Limited

Whether leaders are born or developed has always been a subject of intense debate. In this work, Rob Kaplan has successfully distilled many pragmatic insights on leadership development, gleaned from his extensive personal interactions with successful leaders over many years. I highly recommend
'What to Ask the Person in the Mirror', especially for young and upcoming
global leaders.

of the Treasury; Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs (1999–2006)

Rob Kaplan is an outstanding leader and business executive. In 'What to
Ask the Person in the Mirror', he provides a valuable and adaptable framework
that can be used by business and nonprofit leaders. This book lays out the important questions that leaders should ask in order to achieve their goals
and reach their potential.

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize–winning presidential historian
and author, Team of Rivals

Two qualities make this book special. First, Kaplan succeeds in translating his vast knowledge of the leadership field into clear, graceful language, almost as if he is having a conversation with the reader. Second, he tells engaging stories to illustrate his general points—the most effective way to give abstract concepts life. This book should have a wide readership.

Tyra Banks, supermodel turned entrepreneur

For someone like me who is building a business and growing an
entrepreneurial company, this book becomes the road map and go-to guide
for asking the really tough questions that ultimately allow the truly successful business leader to emerge.

Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, CEO, PIMCO; author, When Markets Collide

Drawing on years of experience in business and academia, Rob Kaplan has produced a very readable book that provides unique and valuable insights into management, including what makes and sustains highly successful leaders.
Read this wonderful book if you want to understand how great managers
grow and mature, navigate pitfalls, and bounce back from adversity.

Rob Kaplan’s book is my new leadership bible. His extensive experience
leading others and his time coaching great leaders has given him a unique understanding of what breeds success and failure. Leaders from any type
