Fine unread condition white boards, black cloth spine, and bright gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Al Neuharth; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments of an S.O.B. and Index. "After reading Confessions of an S.O.B., y ou'll see why Neuharth, founder of USA TODAY, has been called in. The New York Times: "a merciless prankster" Business Week: "an absolute dictator" Newsweek: "a business nymphomanica" Exquire: "a new kind of Citizen Kane" Fortune: "utterly charming" The Wall Street Journal: "journalism's most falmboyant personality" and why special people have strong opinions about Al: Ronald Reagan: "Your success is truly a turning point in the news business. You're leading a whole industry into the twenty -first century." Rosalynn Carter: "Al Neuharth has brought new meaning to the word 'opportunity' in the 1980s." Former Parade magazine editor James Head: "Neuharth's the only man I know who would go after Moby Dick with a harpoon and a jar of tartar sauce." Both his former wives: "Al's a lovable little S.O.B." - from the rear outer jacket. "To realize your biggest dreams you must scheme and connive and convince other to play along with you, says Al Neuharth, founder of USA TODAY and former chairman of Gannett. This is much more than a story about newspapers or about big business. It's a blueprint for men and women in any field to deliver on their own dreams. And it's developed by a once poor country kid from South Dakota who became a multimillionaire media mogul. The person who created the country's first national general-interest newspaper - while everybody else said it couldn't be done - tells how he did it. Neuharth takes you inside boardrooms and newsrooms. He reveals how he developed his maverick management sytle and with it revolutionized Gannett, from a small group of what were called "shit-kicker" newspapes to a global media giant. His unusually candid account of success and failure is no-holds-barred, no names spared. Neuharth advises those who want to move up in their world: How to be ready always to rock the boat. How to best the boss. How to beat backbiting with backbone. How to write your own rules and form you own club. How to wear a bull's-eye on your chest and shake off the darts and arrows that hit you. How to scuttle the S.O.B.s who are trying to get you. How to get what you want by using the right mix of niceness and nastiness. How to stop critics from compromising your dreams. Above all, how to have fun playing the game. Yet despite Neuharth's huge successes, he shows how a few failures along the way can be good for you. He details how his own naivete doomed his first business venture when he was twenty-nine. And how his ego killed what would have been the world's biggest media merger when he was sixty-one. Neuharth retired as Gannett chairman in 1989, at age sixty-five. He writes a weekly column called "Plain Talk" for USA TODAY and other Gannett newspapers. He does his writing on a 1926 Royal typewriter in a treehouse he built at Pumpkin Center, his seven-acre oceanfront estate in Cocoa Beach, Florida. From there, he overlooks the launchpads of the Kennedy Space Center, where Neuharth says "there is more vision per square mile than anywhere else in the world." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Description de la boutique
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
