TESTIMONIALS
"Mickey is a fine writer
and a first-rate business editor. He is timely, hard-working, highly
professional, and thoroughly reliable. Mickey has broad knowledge of
management and business issues, as well as international economics and
economic policy. He was a pleasure to work with, and MGI would not hesitate
to hire Mickey again if the need arose."
— Diana Farrell, Director, McKinsey Global Institute
"As first-time authors of a book, we were aided enormously by Mickey Butts. Mickey helped us structure our initial outline, sharpen our thinking, and refine our prose. He held our hand at every stage of the writing process, and took our manuscript to a higher level. He was a delight to work with: professional, timely, and willing to work within our deadlines and budget. We’d highly recommend him as a writer, editor, and thought-partner."
— Heather Grant McLeod and Leslie Crutchfield, coauthors of Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits (Jossey-Bass, 2007)

— Ann Goggins Gregory, director of knowledge management, The Bridgespan Group
"I want to take a moment to thank someone who was an indispensable part of getting Love Leadership exactly right, and that is Mickey Butts. Mickey was my writing editor throughout the entire book development, drafting, and finalizing process, and I cannot give him enough credit for his superior eye, his command of research, his ability to take all of my energy and passion and organize it into a coherent thought process, and most of all for helping me get my “voice” on paper. I could not have asked for a better collaborator than Mickey Butts."
— John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Operation HOPE, and author of Love Leadership (Jossey-Bass, 2009)
"Mickey Butts is an incredible writer who helped us conceive of our
earliest outline and draft of the manuscript. His contribution to distilling
and organizing our thinking was crucial to getting our arms around the
hundreds of potentially disparate ideas and hypotheses we were originally
considering."
— James Citrin and Richard Smith, executive
recruiters at Spencer Stuart and authors of the bestselling book The
Five Patterns of Extraordinary Careers (Crown Business, 2003)
