[ need to update with David's very latest version ]
This change-agent memoir is aimed at the ambitious professional drawn to the modern world of business. This principled person wants to lead with vision, move among influential titans and believes they must often ignore the traditional pathways laid ahead of them if they are to survive, excel and discover their truest potential. While perhaps at a mid-level position, this is precisely the person who will embrace and amplify the principles of sustainable value creation when they eventually become an executive and board member. The appeal of this book is in the authentic, lifelong celebration of action, tenacity, creativity and principlesthat carried Charlie upward from one personal form of success to the next --- ultimately leading to insight at the core of business’s next level of operation ieSVC as the purpose of leading commercial organizations. The result is a fortified sense of resolve that one’s own enthusiasms and abilities remain the most essential of all attributes in the journey he/she is authoring. Through all the vignettes, plot-transitions, and examples it is an inspiringtestament to resilience born of purpose that should come through.
