This book is dedicated to Barbara, my wife and friend, and my daughter Audrey, whose own work ethic drove me to finish this book. Thank you for putting up with a lot of absenteeism from me so that I could write. And in memory of those close to me whom I lost during this process: Lucy Saltzman, my mom (1925–2015); and my sister-in-law, Louise Wescott (1965–2015). —Jeffrey Saltzman I am in continuous awe of my wife Emily for all she does to encourage and support my variously intense and distracting professional pursuits. This book is dedicated to her and to my boys Zander, Zach, and Mitch, whose own journeys have inspired deeper thinking into the concepts of balancing Current Performance and Future Potential. —Scott Brooks
