Dr. Phil Knight understands the importance of leadership and what it means to be a great leader. His ability to translate his thoughts and ideas of what makes a great leader is seen daily in the people he has surrounded himself with. I know that I am a better leader having Dr. Knight provide insight and direction to enhance my leadership skills!

Harry S. Truman once stated that “Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.” I’ve had the good fortune of working with Dr. Knight in developing partnerships and projects that effect the youth of Michigan. His natural leadership abilities inspire and motivate those around him to want to make a difference. The stories of his travels and his southern drawl keep audiences attentive and engaged, which always leads to a productive and relaxed environment with him at the helm. He has been a much needed change agent and I have no doubts that with his drive, passion and commitment, he will continue to lead and help others change things for the better as well.

Dr. Phil is like the Pied Piper of nonprofit leadership. Where he leads, nonprofits go. He takes floundering nonprofit boards and senior management and redirects their scattered efforts to send them in the right direction. My only regret with working with Dr. Phil is that I didn’t meet him sooner!

An effective leadership tool is born from the heart and soul of an effective leader. Phillip is that kind of leader, passionate about leadership, a student of the discipline for years. Phillip understands the tried and true fundamentals of leadership, putting them into practice in his own personal and professional life. In a day when leadership is vital to one’s success, I recommend Phillip to you as a person who will come and walk alongside of you in your journey and make you better as you go.
