Results Rule! : Build a Culture That Blows the Competition Away

Praise for RESULTS RULE!"What on earth could pre-thawed turkeys, Eva the dolphin, and toothpaste tubes squeezed from the middle have to do with the success of your business? Everything. Results Rule! is that rare business book that you can't put down, and you shouldn't, because the lessons within aren't just helpful, they're vitally important. Don't put Results Rule! on the stack of books you mean to read soon. Buy it, take it home, and read every word before your competitor does."--Joe Calloway, author of How to Become the Company That Your Customers Can't Live Without"Most business books give you everything you need and want to do, except the only thing that matters--getting results.
