Description
"This is what happens to so many leaders and people of influence. Kings, presidents, heads of religious organizations and great corporations...after a time, they start getting it backwards. The moment you begin thinking that it's all about you, that you're the deal, is the moment you begin losing your capacity to positively influence others."
That's the premise of IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU: A Little Story About What Matters Most in Business by Bob Burg and John David Mann (to be published September 20). As they did in their acclaimed bestseller The Go-Giver (2008), Burg and Mann prove that a heartfelt work of fiction can also express a powerful idea.
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU tells the story of a struggling small business and an ambitious young executive trying to master persuasion and leadership. The book is already getting raves from business leaders and critics like Tony Hsieh and John Maxwell.
Bob Burg speaks to huge crowds around the world about building lasting relationships, both professionally and personally. John David Mann has been writing about business, leadership, and the laws of success for more than twenty years. Their first collaboration, The Go-Giver, has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide and inspired a movement (see http://www.thegogiver.com/).
