Episode #005   “I don’t need a Messenger Boy, I need a Delivery Boy.” That’s what a CEO told me. Here was his point.

Episode #004   Failure trips up everyone—let it catapult you to success. CEOs with failures OWN those mistakes: they are the first to bring them up and tell you what they learned. They don’t retreat to the foxhole, they keep fighting to find out what works best. John Maxwell’s friend says, “I’m never down; I’m either up or I’m getting up!” Why "Adapt or Die" has never been more true If you think a setback is a failure, you're doomed How "successful" CEO's own their mistakes

In this first episode learn all about the 10-year study that reveals the for "secrets" of success for CEO's. SPOILER ALERT! The discoveries aren't just for CEOs--these are four things you and I can do everyday. Why HUGE mistakes don't disqualify you from future success.

What boards look for in hiring vs what really works!
