Honest to Greatness: How Today's Greatest Leaders Use Brutal Honesty to Achieve Massive Success

In today’s hyper-transparent world, consumers have enormous power to decide which brands are worth their time and money—so how do you make sure they choose yours?

Unfortunately, most leaders and organizations are stuck following archaic, detrimental business practices. Meanwhile, savvy consumers and employees across every generation are making their stance perfectly clear: They are not interested in supporting organizations that seem inauthentic, soulless, or untrustworthy.

In this environment, only the honest will survive.

In Honest to Greatness, serial Inc. 5000 entrepreneur Peter Kozodoy shows how today’s greatest business leaders use honesty—not as a touchy-feely core value, but as a business strategy that produces game-changing, industry-dominating success.

Through case studies and interviews with leaders at Bridgewater Associates, Sprint, Quicken Loans, Domino’s, The Ritz-Carlton, and more, Kozodoy presents fresh business concepts that anyone in the workplace can implement in order to:


- Reach, engage, and retain your best customers
- Attract and inspire the best talent in any industry
- Create an unbeatable culture of innovation that dominates your competitors
- Earn your team’s respect and loyalty
- Unlock deep personal fulfillment by setting the “right” goals

Filled with powerful lessons for current and future leaders, this timely book demonstrates how to use honesty at both the organizational and individual level to achieve true greatness in business and in life.
