Dr. Parrott is releasing a new book in February 2022, Opportunity Leadership - Stop Planning and Start Getting Results.

TESTIMONIALS

"Roger's excellent presentation on Opportunity Leadership at our Annual Meeting rang the bell. Several presidents expressed to me personally that this was exactly what they needed. One president exclaimed, 'Free at last!'. From time to time, leaders must step back from their routines and educational habits to ask serious questions about what is or is not working. That's what Roger has done and the biblical answer for planning that pushes us to listen and look to God opens fresh doors of possibilities and golden opportunities. His insights and examples provide a clear path forward for leaders burdened with the responsibility of institutional planning and articulates what many have felt but have not found the words to express. I'm very grateful for his inspired and visionary leadership."
