Product Description
by Michael F. Andrew (Author)
Stuart Holbrook is the arrogant, ignorant, and selfish billionaire owner of a professional baseball team and many other companies. Showcased in publications such as Forbes, Fortune, and the Financial Times, he has everything in life he could want. But he is a terrible leader, neither liked nor respected by those around him.
Despite his privileges, the one person he most wants to be like is Todd Ferragamo, the aging captain of his big league team. Stuart learns how Todd treats those around him with dignity, from the cleaning staff in the clubhouse to the vendors in the stadium and the crew maintaining the impeccable field. In short, Todd is the greatest leader Stuart Holbrook has ever seen.
So Stuart sets out to discover what makes Todd so effective. What results is a profound transformation in character as Stuart uncovers the qualities of integrity, humility, and treating others with dignity-the foundations of character-based leadership.
For fans of The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, The Greatest Leader He Ever Saw is a remarkable fable about leading from within.
