Synopsis

Entrepreneurs, business leaders, new graduates, and everyone trying to make sense of this fast-changing, unpredictable, hard-to-chart world needs guidance, tools, and authentic, genuine advice they can employ to figure out what works for them. Pithy and engaging, "Rules of Thumb" addresses issues that readers of all ages can relate to: how to lead and inspire others; how to deal with failure; how to avert crises; how to create business strategy; how to hire, fire, and mentor; and, how to find a career that's right for you. With 52 practical lessons drawn from the author's experiences as an entrepreneur, journalist, and student of the world's best organizations and leaders, "Rules of Thumb" is wise, fun, and instructive. Webber's rules go against the grain of conventional wisdom but also build on the insights of business greats such as Jim Collins, Peter Drucker, and Tom Peters.

We live in a world of dramatic and unpredictable change that is wiping out time-honored businesses and long-standing institutions while ushering in unprecedented opportunities for creative individuals and entrepreneurial organizations.

If you're looking for practical advice on how to win at work without losing your self, if you want to change your life to meet the challenge of change, or if you want to learn from some of the world's most interesting and creative people, let Alan M. Webber take you on a remarkable journey toward greater personal understanding and, ultimately, greater personal success.
