About this audiobook
David Novak-one of today's most engaging, unconventional, and successful business leaders-lived in thirty-two trailer parks in twenty-three states by the time he reached the seventh grade. He sold encyclopedias door to door, worked as a hotel night clerk, and took a job as a $7,200-a-year advertising copywriter with the hopes of one day becoming a creative director. Instead, he became head of the world's largest restaurant company at the ripe old age of forty-seven.
While David never went to business school, he did learn from the greatest of teachers-experience. His ideas built an entire culture around reward and recognition-getting everyone from division presidents to dish washers to buy into recognizing the achievements of others-and are studied in great detail by other companies. Now he wants to share with you what he discovered about getting ahead and getting noticed; motivating people and turning businesses around; building winning teams and running a company of nearly one million people; and always staying true to yourself.
Whether you are the CEO of a global conglomerate or a budding entrepreneur, David Novak's street-smart wisdom will help you get where you want to go.
From the Compact Disc edition.
