5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Truths Aug 18 2009
By Randy Pennington - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Dave Anderson has written an excellent book. If you are a person of faith, this book will resonate with you and provide practical examples of how to live your beliefs every day. If you are not a person of faith, How to Run Your Business by The Book is still worth your attention. Dave Anderson's books are known for providing top-quality information with immediate take-away value. This book is no different. It is spiritual but not preachy. It is substantive and yet easy to read. Chapter 4 (Five Steps to Build a Rock-Solid Character) is especially important in a world where leaders in every walk of life self-destruct in front of our eyes. Anderson's five steps are (1) Don't tell "white lies;" (2) Keep your commitments; (3) Go the second mile; (4) Don't give false impressions; and (5)Reconcile and forgive immediately. If you are tempted to write off these ideas as simplistic and out-of-touch with today's reality, consider this: where would we be as a society if every person actually followed these five steps? Where would our economy be today? How would the trust in our institutions and leaders be improved? I highly recommend this book. Its relevance extends beyond running a business. It is a plan for leading a life.
