One reader of Rising Through the Ranks: Leadership Tools and Techniques for Law Enforcement said, “I know Mike Wynn personally, but little about law enforcement. But my MBA from B.C. and 20+ years of followership and leadership in the financial services industry has given me much experience with the concept of good management. After reading 'Rising Through the Ranks' I understand that leadership skills are quite different from the focus of my management training. I'm impressed with how applicable the concept of leadership is to the business world I know. The book is a good read and makes an excellent case for the universal need for good leaders. I'm recommending it to all the business managers I know.”

One reader of Rising Through the Ranks: Leadership Tools and Techniques for Law Enforcement said, “I enjoyed this book. It's interesting and easy reading.  Mike Winn does a great job getting the point across. Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.”
