Honest to Greatness
Honest to Greatness: How Today's Greatest Leaders Use Brutal Honesty to Achieve Massive Success
Our culture and ethos at Skylark Ventures was pioneered by its founder, Peter Kozodoy, who wrote the award-winning leadership book Honest to Greatness. Its lessons in entrepreneurship, leadership, culture transformation, and business turnarounds came from decades of management consulting experience working with startups to the Fortune 500.
Endorsed by Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran with a foreword by Rich Dad Poor Dad co-author Sharon Lechter, Honest to Greatness provides lessons, insights, and case studies about how some of the most prolific founders and brands created massive success using the framework of “strategic brutal honesty.”
