In the book Primal Leadership Daniel Goleman, Richard Boystzis and Annie McKee comment:

• "Pittari began to peel back the onion, look at root issues and the deep-seated reasons why people succeeded or failed in the context of the culture."


• "Pittari crafted a process that changed both the culture and the lives of individuals who worked in the company every day."


• "She understood the importance of looking broadly at the business' underlying culture and how it supported or inhibited leadership.   That is a dramatic difference from most development programs — which begin and end with the individual."

"Linda has an uncanny ability to identify and develop leadership talent.   The assessment process clearly helps managers reach their true potential."
