The Big Five for Life: Leadership's Greatest Secretby John P. Strelecky
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Meet a Great Leader
No matter who you are or how many people you’ve led, this book will forever enhance the way you think about leadership. Not only the way you lead at work, at home, or in your community, but even how you lead yourself. It is the final legacy of Thomas Derale, a man viewed by those around him as the greatest leader in the world. His businesses made fortunes, his employees loved him, and when necessary, his customers would wait weeks just to interact with his companies. He died tragically at just fifty-five years of age, and even in that—the act of dying—he inspired everyone around him. This is a story about who he was, how he led, and the way he left this world. These are the secrets he used to build fourteen highly profitable companies, create cultures so purposeful that customers and the most talented people sought him out, and leave a legacy that will be remembered for generations. The pioneering business principles in this book, such as the Big Five for Life, are his final gift for current and future leaders everywhere. They have already helped thousands of people and organizations around the world.For more resources and ideas log on to www.bigfiveforlife.com. Review:"CEO Thomas Derale is the hero of Strelecky's inspirational, fictional tale (after The Why Caf) of a terminally ill beloved leader and the business, life and leadership advice he dispenses to his dedicated disciple, Joe, who narrates. The bulk of the story consists of Joe's conversations with Thomas in his final weeks, flashbacks to dialogue over the course of their friendship, even television interviews the 'famous' CEO gives in his last days, during which he imparts his words of wisdom. Thomas's thousands of employees are called 'travelers,' progressing on a journey together, and his utopian advice includes the mandate to identify both a personal and corporate 'Purpose for Existing' (PFE) — which should always be aligned to promote productivity and fulfillment. The 'big five' of the book's title are 'the five things that we want to do, see, or experience in our life before we die,' which Derale Enterprises' employees have printed on the back of their business cards. Though the potential corniness of acronyms such as PFE is offset by Thomas's benevolence, readers with a preference for stories of imperfect CEOs running real companies might find Thomas's advice more suited to the realm of life coaching than running a business. (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:“I love this book. [It] has the right mix of examples, concepts, and emotion to help leaders achieve.
