Lessons Learned on the Journey to the Top
I received a book from the moderator of DearReader.com, Suzanne Beecher - the book is called From the Sandbox to the Corner Office: Lessons Learned on the Journey to the Top by Eve Tahmincioglu. The book features interviews from CEOs of different companies and corporations about their journey to the top. It’s obvious that these people became leaders not because of their DNAs but with sheer hard work and perseverance. It’s also amazing to note that Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln emerged as most idolized personality; almost everyone loves Jim Collins’ Good to Great — maybe this is because almost all business owners wants their business to be really great and not just good; most of them fear “failure,” and when asked how they’ll describe themselves, “ambitious” is the most used word.
Journey to the top is not that easy - whether it’s business’ journey or life’s journey. Every step we make gives valuable lessons each of us should never ignore to be able to make it to the top.
