Industry Reviews

"James hits the nail on the head with Bent and provides the crucial steps needed to drive alignment."

-Dina Dwyer-Owens, former chairwoman and CEO, Neighborly

"Grounded in the realities of leadership, Bent offers easily consumable wisdom on how to find missional alignment. Leaders can read cover-to-cover or skip to any of the twelve steps to find wisdom to catalyze great work in sustainable ways."

-Jon Eckert, professor of educational leadership, Baylor University

"There is a generation rising that lacks loyalty in the workforce. Management must learn new tools to raise up and keep a competent team. Aside from being a faithful source of wisdom when I'm stuck, James has developed twelve proven steps that every leader should commit to memory. Don't attempt to lead a team without reading this first."

-Jonathan Pokluda, best-selling author, host of The Becoming Something podcast, and leader of Harris Creek Church

"Borne out of his many years of coaching wisdom and experience, James Walker provides clarity on how to best align your purpose with your business culture in his book Bent: 12 Vital Steps to Win Back a Wayward Team. Through a twelve-step guide, practical challenges, and relevant exercises, Bent will help you apply everything you learn to become better aligned in your workplace."

-Scott Kedersha, marriage pastor, Harris Creek Baptist Church

"The 'Why, How, and Who' are the reasons and the way. Bent is packed with wisdom. James delivers a vital perspective that can only come from being on both sides of a wayward team. Sometimes we are being bent, and sometimes we are doing the bending. James captures the pain of a bent team and thankfully shows us how to create alignment with the heart of a servant leader."

-Todd Liles, CEO, Service Excellence

"James Walker has created a clear and concise road map for building an engaged, motivated, and purpose-driven team. If your team has lost its way, read Bent and get back on track."

-Peter van Stralen, former CEO of Sunshine Brands, speaker, author, adventurist, and CEO coach
