Running a business can be stressful…
Understatement? Probably. After all, if it were easy to develop a product or service line; please clients; and hire, insure, and compensate numerous employees—all while turning a profit—everyone would do it.
Authors Robert C. Tapella, the former Public Printer of the United States, and T.J. Tedesco, owner of Grow Sales, Inc., understand this better than most. But they also understand that much of the extra stress business leaders take on is self-imposed and easily resolved—simply by doing “the right thing.”
Work Right, Live Right offers advice on:
• Treating every employee, client, contractor, etc., with dignity
• Transparency
• Taking responsibility
• Creating a culture of courtesy
• The benefits of listening to your “gut”
Through succinct, real-life, anecdotal views of leaders in several industries, Tapella and Tedesco explore some difficult decisions and the powerful results that come from following “the golden rule.”
Robert C. Tapella served as the 25th Public Printer of the United States—the CEO of the Government Printing Office (GPO)—from 2007 to 2010. Bob is currently President of Graphic Communications World’s GreensheetBIZ, a publication geared toward C-level leaders and other decision-makers in the printing, publishing, and converting industries.
