Advance Praise for All the Difference:"What sets All the Difference apart is its unflinching honesty about why managing difference is so hard. This is leadership wisdom forged in radically different contexts—from boardrooms to battlefields—distilled into a framework that's as practical as it is transformative. If you're serious about unlocking the full capability of your team, consider this book your guide." — Kevin B. Churchwell, MD, President and CEO, Boston Children's Hospital"All the Difference offers leaders a clear and actionable road map for navigating the complexity of today's teams. Susan MacKenty Brady, Stuart D. Kliman, and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith show, with clarity and heart, how to turn difference into an engine for trust, creativity, and results. This book is essential reading for anyone leading in today's world." — Dorie Clark, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, The Long Game"Leadership gets hardest when different perspectives collide under daily pressure. All the Difference offers a practical, human approach to building trust, working through tension, and turning difference into better decisions and stronger results." — Patrick Gilligan, President and CEO, Point32Health"Strategy fails or succeeds based on how leaders handle difference. Left unmanaged, difference derails execution. Harnessed well, it fuels innovation, commitment, and results. This book makes clear why leading through difference is the most critical leadership capability of our time—and how to build it." — Bruce Patton, cofounder and Distinguished Fellow, Harvard Negotiation Project; coauthor, perennial New York Times bestsellers Getting to YES and Difficult Conversations"Leading in a rapidly changing world requires unleashing the potential of every team member. And what makes one team member different is also what makes that person valuable. All the Difference is a must-read for leaders seeking to forge a collective superpower from the differing strengths of individuals, teams, and organizations." — Sanyin Siang, Executive Director, Coach K Center on Leadership and Ethics, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University; Thinkers50 Coaching Legend"All the Difference reframes difference as a source of value rather than risk. With clarity and practical insight, the authors show how leaders can turn everyday tension into trust, stronger performance, and long-term value creation. A timely guide for executives navigating complex environments." — Stephen H. Wise, Partner and Co-head, Americas Corporate Private Equity, Carlyle
