Meet Chairman Frances Hesselbein of the Leader to Leader Institute–interviewed by executive coaches Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Thompson
From RICHARD KOVACEVICH, CEO of Wells Fargo
“In business and in life, lasting success takes teamwork, integrity and the courage to stick with what really matters. It’s the best five players that win the game, not the five best players. That’s what this book is all about.”
“If you’re crazy enough to do what you love for a living, then you’re bound to create a life that matters. The book Success Built to Last wisely counsels you to go nuts about something meaningful. That’s what you’re here to do, for heaven’s sake. If you do that, then you won’t need to finish this book!”
From the Foreword by SENATOR JOHN McCAIN“Success Built to Last — Creating a Life that Matters provides practical wisdom drawn from the stories of hundreds of the world’s most remarkable and enduringly successful people who the authors actually interviewed. This is a book that will make a difference.”
In our interview, he confided “everybody has to be prepared in life for failures or disappointments or frustrated dreams. If you do have an extreme change in your life that is unpleasant, what are the principles that don’t change, on which you can build a new life, an expanded life, a better life, a more adventurous life.”
From Marshall Goldsmith, the world’s greatest CEO coach and bestselling author.
“The best coaching you will ever get on creating a life that matters is in this book!”
From BILL GEORGE, former Chair & CEO, Medtronic and author of Authentic Leadership
“In Success Built to Last, authors Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery and Mark Thompson share the wisdom of great leaders about sustaining success and having a fulfilling life at the same time. They show readers how to pursue their passions and achieve success beyond their wildest dreams, while staying true to who they are. The book is a ‘must read!’”
From GREG FOSTER, President of IMAX Films
“There is nothing more important you can do than create a life that matters for you and your family. That is the only way to achieve Success Built to Last. As a leader and a parent, you’ve got to read this book and then give it to the teens in your family!”
From ROBERT LANE, Chairman & CEO of John Deere & Co., Inc.
“John Deere himself said ‘I will not put my name on a product that does not have the best in it that is in me.’ Imagine using that same standard in your personal life and career. When you commit yourself to excellence that would make you proud to put your name on everything you do, then you will have Success Built to Last.”
From DAVID STERN, Commissioner of the National Basketball Association
“Anything worth doing in life takes a team. If you want to Create a Life That Matters – as you will see in this book – you’ve got to recruit a team to your dream.”
