Overview

Do you want to get to the top? Do you want to know how to rise above the crowd and become a leader in your field? Then this is the audio book for you.

In How to Get to the Top, bestselling author Jeffrey J. Fox combines his own experience as an extremely successful entrepreneur with lessons learned at the family dinner table by business leaders such as Howard Schultz, Chairman of Starbucks; Tom Chappell, founder of Tom's of Maine; Leslie Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals; and George Steinbrenner, principal owner of the New York Yankees. The essential guide on how to get to the top-and stay there-this compelling audiobook contains hard-hitting advice on independence and self-reliance, management dynamics, and problem solving, including:

¿ Speak sweetly: You may have to eat your words
¿ Tip as if you were the tippee
¿ Act like you own the place
¿ You have to know the rules to break them
¿ Never be late
¿ Always compliment the chef...especially at home
¿ Teach your girls to whistle
¿ Spend the company's money as you would your own
¿ Don't teach the quarterback to catch


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"A street-smart marketing expert, Harvard MBA, and author of bestselling business books gives the ultimate lesson on starting a business from the ground up…It's practical advice that is put on the table in knock-your-socks-off directness that makes sense right away in your gut…. Don't start a business without hearing this essential lesson!"—AudioFile on How to Make Big Money in Your Own Small Business

OCT/NOV 07 - AudioFile

A marketing guru and author of numerous business audios turns his attention to character. Treat customers like family, take pride in your place of business, tip generously, avoid grandstanding, show up on time—all are part of a potpourri of inspiring ideas presented in 54 fast-moving chapters unified by Fox’s humanitarian sensibilities. He has a strong vocal presence—intimate but not so chummy that it interferes with his authority as an expert. He combines basic altruism with the determination of a consultant who believes in both his ideas and his clients. It’s a message that will bring most listeners back to a way of operating that is guided by the Golden Rule and by common courtesy. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
