"The temptation is to convince yourself that your employees' dreams are not relevant to your business. That is only true if your employees are not relevant to your business—and if that were true, why would you employ them?

Most employees feel like they are being used. But if you can genuinely convince them that you have their best interests at heart, then you will reverse that belief, and in the process create a spirit of teamwork and loyalty rarely unleashed in the corporate world before now.

Dreams are invisible, but powerful. You cannot see them, but they keep everything going."

"The Dream Manager emphasizes that a key and critical role of leadership is the ability to recognize the dreams of those that we lead and inspire them to achieve those visions . . . I believe Matthew Kelly's new book will be an important contribution to the literature of leadership."—Robert A. McDonald, Chief Operating Officer, Procter & Gamble

"The Dream Manager will forever change how companies think about their employees, and how managers define what it means to do their job." —Patrick Lencioni, author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
