PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Furness, a corporate motivator and trainer, distills pearls of wisdom from "tigers," outstanding achievers who succeed at work and life and stand apart from the crowd. He shares case studies of such tigers as Sarah Bailey, winner of 16 paralympic medals; Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airways; and Dave Willis, CEO and founder of Whitford Worldwide. The author explores the characteristics that make tigers so successful: they clearly define objectives and set goals in every area of their lives, surround themselves with a close-knit team handpicked more for will than for skill and attend to work/life balance, a key component in living well. Helpful tips punctuate the book, offering advice on related topics. Furness also offers sound advice to help avoid common recruiting pitfalls, stresses the habits of top performers and emphasizes the importance of thinking creatively. Lastly, he provides thoughtful guidance on maintaining an open-door policy, looking the part and making connections.
