The Ten

About the Book

E.C. Schultek has extensive global senior leadership experience with Johnson & Johnson and PepsiCo as well as founding his own company. He’s met plenty of poor leaders as well as a handful of memorable ones, and it’s this latter elite group he examines in detail in The Ten. He shares their personal stories and childhood lessons that became their “One Big Thing” that fueled their success. As you read their stories, and view the bonus video interviews, you’ll learn how to: • move your company forward based on how you do what you do; • focus on your employees; your customers will only be treated as well as you treat your team; • discover how childhood experiences shape the “One Big Thing” that sets leaders apart. Each chapter is devoted to one leader, providing a glimpse of his or her past, present, and how they incorporated life experiences and childhood lessons to win and lead others. At the end of each chapter, you will find questions designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned. These questions will encourage you to think about how to leverage big ideas in your own career.
