I have known Jim ‘Gus’ Gustafson for more than two decades and throughout this time I have found him to be the finest teacher, educator and servant leadership practitioner with whom I’ve had the pleasure to associate with on a personal and professional basis. He is a consummate executive educational professional who combines an unparalleled level of strategic business acumen, change leadership excellence and disciplined focus in creating and implementing transformational leadership programs that drive performance and results. He is a truly inspiring, extraordinarily bright, insanely curious and remarkably articulate leader who fully embraces the leader as teacher/learner philosophy to empower others and create higher capability in the people and teams that he has led. His indomitably positive spirit infuses life and energy into his work and everyone around him. He brings out the best in others by helping them to self-discover the best that lies within themselves – a true servant leader. Gus is a differentiated leader in his own right - he combines strong character and ethics with absolute competence and commitment. He is courageous and compassionate and a role model of the highest caliber. He is poised, professional and works well under sustained pressure and always delivers first rate results. He both leads and follows with grace, dignity and authenticity. He always strives to contribute at the highest level and serve the greater good in everything he does – he has been a true source of support for me and an incredible asset to the organizations that he has served. I recommend him wholeheartedly in any endeavor that he pursues – he is outstanding.

I have been in the leadership development arena for over forty years. I’ve known Dr. James ‘Gus’ Gustafson for almost thirty of those and I can say with all confidence that he is one of the finest, brightest, most capable, and humble men I’ve ever known. He is a stellar leadership scholar, practitioner, and developer of human potential. His passion and determination to educate and increase leader’s capability and capacity is unmatched. Over all the years that I have known Gus his life has been marked by service, showing up daily to add value to others and a dogged commitment to make the world a better place. I can think of no one who is better prepared and experienced to influence the current and future culture of leadership worldwide than Gus. Dan Webster Founder - Authentic Leadership, Inc.
