You’ve heard of this book, or someone recommended it, or you just were drawn to it

Let me try and help. If you’re looking for a non-fiction, quick tip guide for leadership, this isn’t the title for you. It’s not that type of book. However, if you’re looking for something deeper, more profound, something which permanently and positively impacts the way you lead others and yourself, THIS IS the book for you.
John Strelecky is one of the world’s leading storytellers. In this story, he brings the
principles of great leadership into focus in a way that will inspire you forever. The Big Five for Life has been named by top entrepreneurs, Olympians, award winning artists and entertainers, and CEOs from some of the world’s most respected and admired companies around the world, as the book they go back to again and again for guidance and inspiration. The story that grounds them when they feel overwhelmed, over
extended, or out of synch with who they are at their core.
This book will:
• Give you an unshakable framework for leadership and life.
• Help you realize that if you’re struggling with leadership, the problem isn’t you, it’s the role models around you.
• Forever enhance the way you look at your role in life. Because the truth is, we’re all leaders. Even if the only person we’re leading, is ourself.
For a lot of people, reading leadership books feels like yet another “to do” list item. Another task to finish. This story is totally different. Because of the style in which it’s written, this is a book you’ll look forward to reading each night. You’ll be drawn to read. It’s the kind of book you’ll enjoy so much, you won’t want it to end.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
CEO Thomas Derale is the hero of Strelecky's inspirational, fictional tale (after The Why Caf ) of a terminally ill beloved leader and the business, life and leadership advice he dispenses to his dedicated disciple, Joe, who narrates. The bulk of the story consists of Joe's conversations with Thomas in his final weeks, flashbacks to dialogue over the course of their friendship, even television interviews the "famous" CEO gives in his last days, during which he imparts his words of wisdom. Thomas's thousands of employees are called "travelers," progressing on a journey together, and his utopian advice includes the mandate to identify both a personal and corporate "Purpose for Existing" (PFE) which should always be aligned to promote productivity and fulfillment. The "big five" of the book's title are "the five things that we want to do, see, or experience in our life before we die," which Derale Enterprises' employees have printed on the back of their business cards. Though the potential corniness of acronyms such as PFE is offset by Thomas's benevolence, readers with a preference for stories of imperfect CEOs running real companies might find Thomas's advice more suited to the realm of life coaching than running a business.
