Conversations on Success

Reviewed by William E. Cooper for Reader Views (4/06) For anyone who aspires to a leadership position, these conversations with a diverse set of people who have been there, done that, is a must read. Assembled is a cast of winners to provide the reader with the true stories of people who worked hard, who earned the successes they achieved. In a world often viewed with cynicism and not infrequent attention paid to stories of scandal, to read about people who live with values, principles, standards, and integrity, in spite of adverse conditions, proves once again what we need to stand for. These great people represent those who built this country, those who were prepared to take risks to build something special, those who are role models for us all. This is the type of book that should be in every library, every school, and every bookstore, and should be required reading for us all. These stories are inspirational and motivational, and I send high marks to the editor for choosing the right people and asking the right questions. Well done, and resounding accolades to each of the people in the book.
