Dan’s insights into innovation and leadership were featured in the 2016 book Tension: The Energy of Innovation, authored by Chris Wasden, EdD, and Mitch Wasden, EdD. In his contribution, Dan reflects on the importance of embracing tension as a catalyst for growth—a principle that has guided his leadership for decades.

“This book is amazing… After reading the first few chapters I started over and underlined the parts I wanted to refer to again later. It’s a must-read for anyone in business who wants to remain viable and grow—especially those in industries undergoing significant change.”
