Imagine finding out what successful people have in common, boil it down to a few simple steps, and use those steps to change your life and work. It was written by three of the biggest names in leadership and self-help, including Jerry Porras, who also wrote Built to Last. Every step of the way, it goes against what most people think is true.
Success Built to Last is based on hundreds of real-life, unscripted conversations with amazing people worldwide. Meet billionaires, CEOs, presidents of countries, Nobel Prize winners, celebrities, and people who are rich, famous, and unknown. Meet some unsung heroes who have made a lasting difference without having a lot of power or personality. Whether they are famous now or not, most people started out just like everyone else. Find out how successful people “harvest” their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their wins and unexpected losses. Please find out how they could find meaning in their lives and work and find the courage to do the same. Above all, look at how they’ve been successful for decades and figure out how you can do the same.
