Uncommon Wisdom to Inspire Your Life's Work

By Eric C Sinoway, Merrill Meadow

Book Description

From the Publisher:

"A timeless classic . . . This is a book of head and heart, of wisdom and emotion . . . "Tuesdays with Morrie" meets "What Color is Your Parachute"?" --Mindy Grossman, CEO of HSNi

With forty years at Harvard Business School, Howard Stevenson is renowned as an entrepreneur and business strategist, author, philanthropist, and professor. He has mentored more than ten thousand business founders, CEOs, professionals, and top business school faculty around the world.Written by mentee and successful entrepreneur Eric Sinoway, "Howard's Gift "offers Stevenson's timeless lessons on life and career. Full of personal and professional insight, this guide presents a series of thirteen strategies that can be applied to professional decisions on any scale. Through warm and engaging conversations with Sinoway, Stevenson focuses not just on business success, but on deep personal satisfaction through self-defined benchmarks for development and accomplishment. Stevenson's lessons include:

Recognize inflection points: Learn to see and act on career-and-life-changing opportunities

Start at the end: Think carefully about your long-term goals, rather than cobbling together your life from short-term achievements

Is the juice worth the squeeze? Ask whether the effort you devote to one area of your life justifies the sacrifice of effort in another area

Cheating at Solitaire: Don't set goals and expectations unless or until you have developed the skill, talent, and knowledge to achieve them

Plan for the ripple, not the splash: Understand that immediate decisions and actions are not as powerful as lasting ones

Inspiring, practical, and wise, "Howard's Gift "is a book for recent college graduates, mid-career people who are at crucial decision points, mothers re-entering the work force, and entrepreneurs trying to balance success with family and personal satisfaction.
