The book presents and explores the eight dimensions of business life–preparation, building and managing a career, business strategy, business operations, finance and economics, leadership, culture and communication, and personal spirit and style. All successful business leaders must master these essentials in order to succeed in the fundamental challenges of business. This book will explain how to do that, and is the road map that today's lost business culture sorely needs. Based on his experience as a leader in a number of industries, Seelert presents both the philosophy and the nuts-and-bolts of a successful and happy career. Reviews “Seelert’s stories and wisdom demonstrate that the principles and practices leading to winning results in sports are highly transferable to the building of brands, businesses, and organizations. This book tells you how.” —Jack Twyman, NBA Hall of Fame player, former ABC Game of the Week announcer, and former Chairman and CEO, Super Food Services Inc. "Seelert’s comprehensive revelation of his leadership wisdom is priceless—especially the management of culture through innovative communications, fueled by rock-solid personal spirit and style. Read and succeed... it’s that actionable. Bob’s the real leadership deal.” —John W. Luther, President, Luther & Company, Strategic Growth Consulting “I’ve never been at my best when working for a boss in the traditional sense...Authority is not my favorite cultural tool. I am at my best (maybe like you) when I have a coach and mentor. Bob Seelert has played that role for over a decade, providing me with counsel, guidance, perspective, and unconditional love and support. Oh yes, and wisdom. Lots of it! You’ll find out what I mean when you read this book.” —Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi “Bob Seelert entered Saatchi & Saatchi in early 1995 when the company was in flux and extremely unstable. In a few short years, he not only stabilized the business, he grew it into an even greater advertising powerhouse than it once was. If anyone is qualified to write about business turnarounds, it’s Seelert.” —David Herro, Chief Investment Officer-International, Harris Associates LP “Spencer Stuart placed Bob Seelert into leadership positions at Kayser-Roth and Saatchi & Saatchi at times when success seemed impossible, but failure was not an acceptable option. In both situations, he achieved highly successful turnarounds, and his stories tell you why.” —Thomas Neff, Chairman, Spencer Stuart USA "Bob Seelert and I worked together for twenty years, and I saw firsthand how the wisdom in this book enabled him to build businesses and organizations. For MBA students and other aspiring business leaders, this book will become their well-thumbed how-to guide for constructing a successful career.” —Erv Shames, Lecturer, University of Virginia Darden Graduate School of Business and former President and CEO, General Foods USA and Borden, Inc. "Bob’s book is a timely reminder of classic virtues. These are the virtues of simplicity and clarity in setting goals as a leader; consistency, self discipline, courtesy and sustained effort in his approach to work; care for the organisation as a community, commitment to his team and humility in his relations with others...Bob’s insights are especially valuable in today’s overheated, crisis ridden world...An inspiration for those feeling dwarfed by the size of contemporary challenges.” —Dominic Houlder, Adjunct Professor of Strategic and International Management, London Business School
