Acknowledgements
This book clearly draws on The Trusted Advisor, which I (Charlie) coauthored with David Maister and Rob Galford. David was also greatly helpful in providing guidance early on.
We were helped immensely by a remarkable team of Trusted Revisors: Barry Edwards, Chris Brown, Ellen Lohsen, Gary Jones, Julian Powe, Linda O’Connor, Marisa Sanchez, Matt Swayhoover, Rich Sternhell, Sandy Styer, Scott Parker, Shawn Westfall, and Stewart Hirsch. The book also benefited editorially from the good people at John Wiley & Sons.
Our gratitude goes to those who contributed the stories and insights that make the pages come to life: Andy Lechter, Anthony Iannarino, Ava J. Abramowitz, Bill Green, Cary Paul, Cate Gregory, Chip Grizzard, Craig Leach, Gary Celli, Greg Pellegrino, Hazel Thompson, Ian Brodie, Jane Malin, Jim McCurry, John Edwards, L. J. Rittenhouse, Larry Friedman, Loreen Babcock, Lynn P., Mahan Khalsa, Neil Rackham, Pat Pannone, Paulo Novaes, Robert Porter Lynch, Ross Smith, Russell Feingold, Sally Foley Lewis, Sarah Agan, Shawn Westfall, and Sriram.

Attila the Honey, along with Kristin Abele and Tracey DelCamp for their unparalleled organization and encouragement, Justin Evans and the good people at Stress Limit Design for their dedication, Ian Welsh for his unsolicited generosity in a time of need, Patty Orsini for early thought development help, and Erik Hansen for his partnership in book promotion. ...
