Foreword
An actionable, easy-to-understand guide that gives you the tools you need to succeed and achieve prosperity, Jacob Engel’s debut articulates twenty-four steps for those starting or leading a business or organization or looking to move up to the next level in their current situation. Outlining the many different theories that abound today, Engel combines them with real life stories of how ordinary yet committed people applied each of these principles to achieve success. Combined with the six c’s of organizational growth and development that demonstrate a clear correlation between the style of the entrepreneur and whether or not prosperity can be realistically achieved, you will be able to chart your own path as you learn the skills you need to improve your own leadership and management capabilities. In doing so, you will examine your own unique individual strengths and weaknesses so that you can maximize the former while mitigating the latter, giving you the power to take control of your own success.
