Current article does not have any acceptable references. It is either a verification issue if sources exist, or a notability problem if they do not, but either way it is not fit for inclusion. CorporateM (Talk) 03:46, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[]

Delete - my God, what horrific puffery. The quote in the lede seemed like a strange way to describe a book by a relative unknown with only one book... so I went looking. The quote is from a business person and the only place I could find it is on the subject's publisher's website, so we can't use it anyway. Nonetheless, the quote is actually, "articulated a new paradigm of the leadership model". Our article suggests he was "hailed as defining the 'new leadership paradigm'." (My underline). Total misrepresentation. Given the quality of the "sources" provided, the article is actually, basically un-sourced. I'm going to go through and remove the self-published and unsourced stuff, after which I suspect it might almost qualify for speedy deletion. Stalwart111 06:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[]
