Praise For "The Soundtrack of Leadership" & Karlton...
"Karlton helps teams find their voice, their rhythm, and their purpose. 'The Soundtrack of Leadership' doesn't just inspire - it gives leaders the tools to make culture a competitive edge."
~ Larry Fitzgibbon | Co-Founder & CEO, Tastemade
“‘The Soundtrack of Leadership' takes a creative approach to building your leadership team into an organization jam band for the ages. Karlton Butts offers a unique framework for capturing music's ability to create magic moments into leadership lessons for life. I strongly recommend this book!”
~ Ryan Malone | Founder, Chairman & Former CEO, SmartBug Media
"So many books are written about leadership - none linking, in this manner, what is equally or more important to many of us: music. ‘The Soundtrack of Leadership' is the perfect melding between the genius and pleasure of music and the lessons we've learned that make us better leaders.
I've had the privilege of working with Karlton a few years back when we were launching an innovation initiative with a Fortune 200 company. His contributions were invaluable - not just because of his integrity and intelligence, but more importantly, his way of going about achieving things, both as a leader and a mentor."
~ Jeff Stein | CEO, UOVO Wine
