Many leaders remember those life-changing moments when it suddenly became crystal clear what had to be done to reach their organizations' goals. It wasn’t until Peter A. Luongo was faced with that one epiphany in his life, a difficult period that required him to rebalance life’s priorities and bring a new understanding to his work, that he recognized that all results are based upon behaviors appropriate to the circumstances. Through this understanding — that actions are determined by specific, well-defined standards — he developed a model for success, one that is both sustainable and that allows people to retain their personal dignity as they pursue their life plans. In this book, Luongo illuminates the ten most common obstacles to success and pairs them with the ageless principles that help readers overcome them. His straightforward advice, based on data and hard-won experience, provides an understandable and virtually guaranteed plan for improvement and achievement.

Truth Number 1: Past performance predicts future behavior.

Truth Number 2: Motivation is a personal responsibility ... inspiration is the responsibility of others.

Truth Number 3: Effective leaders manage support systems; effective employees manage themselves.

Truth Number 4: Rules are for the weak and uncompromised standards of excellence are for the strong.

Truth Number 5: Organizations will experience meaningful success when employees establish their own standard of performance.

Truth Number 6: Habits of discipline and risk taking distinguish greatness.

Truth Number 7: If we have no trust, we have no relationship.

Truth Number 8: Commitment is not how a person performs a job, but rather, it's whether a person does a job to the best of their ability every day.

Truth Number 9: It's critical to be loyal to your company and your fellow employees.

Truth Number 10: Accept yourself as you exist, accept others as they exist, and in the context of the similarities and differences, finding more effective ways of succeeding as a behavior-driven organization.
