“Sync or Swim is a quick and easy read with a simple but powerful message for anyone who hopes to effectively manage and lead others. It reminds us of what we all need to remember but too quickly forget-that everyone needs appreciation, but that everyone needs it communicated in their own unique way. This book is a beautiful introduction to the basics of the true art of appreciation in the workplace.”
– Jack Canfield | Coauthor of The Success Principles and Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work
“I’ve always said that business is easy . . . until people get involved. The key word is teamwork. If you can’t work together, you can’t win together. In Sync or Swim, Chapman, White, and Myra tell a quick, fun story that gives you the tools you need to bring your people together like never before.“
– Dave Ramsey | New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host
“I was sitting waiting to board a flight, with twenty things on my to-do list. But I decided to look at this fable . . . and couldn’t stop reading! It really drew me in and I instantly started thinking about how I need to purposefully tell (and show) my amazing team members how much I genuinely appreciate them-and to do so much more often. Sync or Swim makes a tremendously important point in an incredibly simple way-that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget.”
