Value To Others: 52 insights into business and personal success - Paperback

by Chris Mason (Author)

Many books purport to offer tips on how to thrive in the business world, but personal and business success really comes down to one thing: Value to Others. And if one always strives to provide value and help others, self-worth improves, leading to continual growth. This concept of growing self-worth by providing value is the first in a series of fifty-two business insights this invaluable handbook addresses. Years ago, at only thirty-five, author Dr. Chris Mason was appointed CEO of an international public company. But he soon discovered that its finances were in shambles-and his board lacking direction and clear strategies.

Determined, he spent a full year working through every single issue-it was his hardest year ever, but it was also his best. Being forced to learn everything the hard way with little support provided him the critical business experience he needed. He founded Mindshop in 1994, a company offering thousands of business leaders, advisors, and professional services each year the kind of support and training he himself would have treasured. Now, Value to Others offers the wisdom of Mindshop to a wider audience.

Each presenting an anecdote, an explanation, and implementation tips, these insights will help business professionals everywhere including CEO's, junior managers, consultants, and accountants-reach their goals.
