Early Reader Comments

“There is a remarkable person to person conversation. He is the mentor most every responsible employee (and owner) would like to have. The blend of “what” and “how-to” is one of your great strengths, and the continuing story line moves forward swiftly and is never boring. You have written a valuable owner-manager guide to organization leadership and better management. Over time I have become increasingly comfortable summoning up your emphasis on Leadership, Culture, and Strategic Thinking as the three key elements in resolving life’s questions and struggles. You may have brewed too powerful a mix to be taken in one or two gulps. A slow savoring over several days is recommended. You may have written a short volume, but it is packed full. Trying to take it all in too quickly will be to miss much of the underlying wisdom."

“It sounds as if Pat was a bit “ahead of his time” through his implementation of a collaborative model of leadership. His model not only encouraged organizational cultural change, but set up an environment for innovation and risk taking. There is much to be gleaned from his model and experience. Pat certainly appears to be creative, innovative and collaborative – the characteristics that are critical to leading an organization to achieve its potential. I really liked the writing style as the narrative flows well, is straight forward, and compels the reader to keep on reading! Well done”

“To Be the Best interweaves your personal journey with your professional one. I feel in reading it, I have come to know you personally. You make no excuses for professional missteps, have learned from them, and outlined “lessons learned” which you applied going forward. You have provided a framework for business minded people to do business with integrity”

As an investor in public companies, I appreciate the Magee Stool and the principles Pat shares. His logical perspective provides a long-term view, with a strong focus on people. I commend him for appreciating the importance of community relations and shareholders as well as the well-being of employees. His logical approach is to be admired and studied. A valuable addition to any businessman’s library!

“I thoroughly enjoyed the humor and heart of the manuscript. It was engaging and well done. Very proud of you and the opportunity to establish a legacy for future generations."

"As the leader of our team, I pull rank and select a limited number of books each year to edit myself. Other duties prevent me from doing as many as I like, so I select 'books that matter.' To be the Best is valuable, so I selected it for myself."
