According to the book description of
ACTING OUT: Outlining Specific Behaviors and Actions For Effective Leadership, “There are
many misconceptions about how police agencies and other public sector organizations operate. Policing is a business, and the
business of policing is subjected to the same universal rules of business and leadership whether you are in police work or
in industry. Leadership is leadership and management is management and the principles are the same. This book is about being
an effective leader and about change– personal change, intellectual change, process change, organizational change, and
personal growth and development. Part One focuses on communication and leadership actions and what effective leaders accomplish.
Part Two examines the actions-based approach, decision making, thinking, personal mastery, teaching, and vision and direction.
Part Three discusses the leadership replication cycle–gathering the information, converting the information, transforming
the knowledge, replacing behaviors, driving leadership actions, repeating the process, and bringing it all together. The concepts
presented can be applied to any field or position, including personal life and relationships. This book will provide the insights
needed to improve a person’s effectiveness as a leader, or to prepare them for their next career step, when the opportunity
presents itself..”
Dr. Jack Enter, Ph.D, Author and Leadership
Expert, said of ACTING OUT: Outlining Specific Behaviors and Actions For Effective Leadership “Though
leadership is one of the most popular topics to read about – few books ever result in a change of behavior by the reader.
That failure is due to the fact that most books focus on the intellectual discussion of leadership and not its implementation.
Acting Out does not fall into that trap but both provokes and encourages the reader to practice what he or she is reading.
This book is not only useful but needed in a day where most managers seem to fail at bringing what they believe to what they
do. Mitch Weinzetl has provided all of us with tools to help us become better leaders.”

Mitchell P. Weinzetl said of ACTING
OUT: Outlining Specific Behaviors and Actions For Effective Leadership, “I wrote Acting Out to help leaders
move from ineffective to effective; to help them move from theory to action. In addition to describing the WHAT of leadership,
this book places an emphasis on the HOW of leadership; intending for the reader to actually DO something with the information
they have been provided. Are you up for the challenge? Most leadership training is passive in nature; it is not an outcomes-based
process. Leadership is not a passive event, it requires leaders to take action. Acting Out provides readers with the tools
they need to take information about leadership, and convert it into knowledge and effective behaviors.”
Peter K. Heldman, Author ChangeMakers Secrets & Strategies, Executive Director,
Georgetown Leadership Planning Institute, said of ACTING OUT: Outlining Specific Behaviors and Actions For Effective
Leadership, “An Action Oriented - Practical approach to leadership! - Acting Out combines the author's
extensive experience with the input of top thinkers on leadership - applying them to the realities of management today, delivering
pragmatic solutions for government, law enforcement and corporate players.”
