Dr. Matt Barney is Founder and CEO of Leaderamp, Inc., a firm that provides evidence-based due diligence and risk mitigation for entrepreneurs and investors, and has held leadership positions in multinationals such as AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Motorola, and Merck. Barney wrote Leading Value Creation while he was Vice President and Director of the Infosys Leadership Institute, where he applied the Cue See model to a wide array of senior leadership problems, including setting standards for selection, promotion, and development. Leading Value Creation is his fourth book.

"With Leading Value Creation, Barney has given us a breathtakingly novel, integrative, and useful model of how value is created and destroyed within organizations. For presenting a complete and thoroughgoing picture of the dynamics of value in organizations, there is nothing else like this book." - Robert Cialdini, President, Influence At Work; Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing, Arizona State University, USA; New York Times Bestselling Business Author

"Despite the crisis of confidence, the primary purpose of corporate leadership remains the same: maximize shareholder value legally and ethically while ensuring fairness to the stakeholders. Barney's multi-disciplinary approach draws from different business disciplines to develop an integrated model for value creation. It will serve as a guide to leaders in creating value on a sustainable basis." - N. R. Narayana Murthy, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Infosys Limited

"An extremely well researched book. It shows us how human beings have been and will continue to be influenced and inspired by nature in finding new and innovative ways to solve their day-to-day challenges. It explores the art, science, and practice of leadership. Using anecdotal experiences and proven models, this book explains how business leaders in general can use bio-inspiration to lead value creation within their organizations." - S.D. Shibulal, CEO and Co-Founder, Infosys Limited
