Sumari:Real-world executives reveal how their early experiences have helped them become the best in business, and beyond. How were they raised? What mistakes did they make along the way? What were the adversities they faced? These are just a sampling of key questions top leaders answer in From the Sandbox to the Corner Office. Many of them were spanked as children, including Time Warner's CEO whose parents used a switch from a tree. Others faced major obstacles, such as Ameritrade's CEO who has struggled with stuttering all his life. And many were immigrants who worked their way out of poverty, such as the COO of Cingular who as a young boy came to America from Cuba alone. Based on more than 50 interviews with some of today???s top corporate executives and leaders from all walks of life, this book offers key lessons for those looking to achieve success in today???s world of business, nonprofits, and government.
