Confessions Accidental Businessman

by James A Autry

Confessions Accidental Businessman Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Top business leaders use more than data, facts, and information to make important decisions. When describing their decision-making process, they refer to gut, instinct, intuition, and judgment - in other words, wisdom. Confessions of an Accidental Businessman traces one corporate executive's journey toward that most valuable commodity. In telling the story of his life in the business world, Autry uses real-life stories and anecdotes to illustrate the many lessons he has learned. He covers a vast range of nuts-and-bolts business topics, from cutting costs to community connections, from mentoring to men and women in the workplace, from layoffs to long-term product development. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of learning how to be and not just what to do, and his belief that when all the data, facts, information, and knowledge are accumulated, a competent manager must still learn to look within for the wisdom that is the mark of a true leader.
