John Covington

“John has done it again. He has the ability to take seemingly dry subject matter and organize it in a way that won’t let you stop reading until you reach the end. Great advice communicated in a common sense way that revolves around down home, real life experiences. You really don’t realize how much you gain from the book until you reflect on what you have read. The material is quietly challenging and subtly compelling in its approach. The lessons are applicable to ones personal life as well as ones business and professional life. It is a guide to finding success in everything that one does.”

Dr. Gary April, Depart Head, Chemical and Biological Engineering, the University of Alabama

“Enterprise Fitness is an extremely entertaining must read for anybody who manages anything. John draws on his own personal faith views and extensive experiences as a highly successful executive and consultant to vividly illustrate his practical, integrated approach to creating a fit enterprise. This book will be required reading for students that take my elective class in Management Consulting.”

Dr. Mike Umble, Professor of Management, Baylor University

“John Covington’s book Enterprise Fitness is a refreshingly succinct and insightful look at ways to improve yourself and your organization.  His discussion of the need to renew ourselves is sound advice in this high paced world we live in. The need to honor our employees and even suggesting praying for them is a very unique, but crucial point that can only improve any work environment. As a leader and a manager I have taken John’s words to heart and pray for my employees… I truly hope (and pray) they do the same for me! Just think what a great workplace you would have if everyone cared enough for each other and their well being to remember them in daily prayer!”

Captain John Kaplan, Commanding Officer, Coast Guard Yard, Baltimore, MD.

“For nearly two decades John has been one of my mentors and has challenged my being on more than one occasion.  In Enterprise Fitness, John takes what he has learned from attacking process problems to the soul of a company — its culture.  He shows specifically how leadership’s role in improving culture determines the overall fitness of the company.”
