The Key shows clearly and simply how to achieve outstanding service and effective leadership in both your professional and personal life. The levels of great leadership and outstanding service are what make or break a company. This book gives both company owners and employees a roadmap to the top. Peter Burwash, CEO and founder of one of the best managed companies in America, is more than qualified to give advice on leadership and customer service.


Reviews

Burwash is to tennis what Harvey Penick is to golf. Each man excels at teaching his sport and suggests mastery or improvement in it as a metaphor for personal growth and success. Burwash heads an international tennis management firm, with clubs and resorts in 25 countries, that James O'Toole in Vanguard Management (1985) cited as one of 10 best-managed companies. Now Burwash lays out what he discovered in making his company a service leader. He lists "the 12 universal principles of great service companies" and "the 25 universal qualities of great leaders," stating each principle or quality simply, illustrating each with a rubric from the likes of Winston Churchill and Confucius, and further explaining each with a meaningful anecdote.
