Inspired by their hunger for straight forward guidance, Jack?s philosophicl and pragmatic book is destined to become the bible of business for generations to come, clearly and succinctly laying out the answers to the most difficult questions people face both on and off the job. Aimed at people at every level, in companies large and small, Jack's optimistic, no excuses, get-it-done mindset is riveting.
