I have had the pleasure of connecting with Jann on many community-supporting initiatives.

Her work with me on identifying my values and creating a vision was especially helpful.

I highly recommend Jann Freed’s book, Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts. This book clearly identifies eight practices of great leaders, provides clear examples of the practices in action, and includes activities to implement the practices into daily life. This work is truly inspirational.

She repeatedly credited others for their roles in her journey, especially in writing her several books. The employees’ …
