The Winding Road to Excellence

MANTRAS for EXCELLENCE: Relatable lessons for modern leaders Knowing that there's a plethora of "how to" leadership books lining store shelves, when encouraged by colleagues to pen a "life guide" for leaders, ever the contrarian, G.T. "Toby" Stansell took a slightly different route, one that acknowledges that none of us have our businesses, or our lives, fully figured out. The Winding Road to Excellence is as much about "What Not to Do" as a leader as it is about finding a "better way." Toby acknowledges something readers will recognize about themselves, that we learn more from the potholes we fall into than when things go "perfectly," something that is as true in life as it is in our roles as leaders. Funny, relatable, memorable, and full of hard-won wisdom, The Winding Road to Excellence provides leaders with a core philosophy of what excellence really looks like in action and an applicable roadmap that will transform their businesses into happier, healthier, efficient workplaces that differentiate themselves from their competition and dramatically improve results ... all while finding joy in the enterprise of leading others.
