(Harper Collins Publishers Ltd., ISBN–10: 0–00–200730–4,ISBN–13: 978–0–00–200730–6)
An inspired read! Perfect for your bedside table, this book provides 101 quick stories and lessons to think about on your own journey toward personal and professional greatness. There are always more ways to "sharpen the saw" of excellence in our lives, regardless of our field of endeavor, and to challenge ourselves to reach higher. This handy guide has something for the parent, student, CEO, rock star, or royalty.
Written by Robin Sharma, one of the world's top success coaches, The Greatness Guide is filled with big ideas designed to provoke thought and inspire action. Between chapters like "Drink Coffee with Gandhi," "Get Some Skin in the Game" and "Your Four– Minute Mile," Robin encourages us to stretch and grow personally, and to "Lead Without Title" professionally. The core message is about personal standards and integrity, having a life with meaning and purpose, and being happy every day of your life. Robin weaves stories and examples in from his own life to illustrate key points, and it seems almost as if you are in conversation with him from beginning to end.
In his first book, a bestseller entitled The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, everything seems deceptively simple, but each idea and practice is meant to "elevate your game" and encourage you to keep pushing the boundaries of your own potential. You'll learn the best thing to do to get even better. If you are a business leader, you will get some brilliant ideas on how to take your organization to first class and how to develop a culture of leadership where everyone thinks like an owner or CEO. You'll get specific strategies on turning setbacks into opportunities, branding your business, and aligning everyone on your team to go the extra mile to "WOW" customers.
Having worked with leaders, top companies, and ordinary folks in over 40 countries, Robin Sharma knows a thing or two about "greatness." There is something here for everyone!
