Run Your Business, Don't Let It Run You

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I’ve learned that writing and publishing a book requires strategic thinking and planning, passion and commitment, and an army of people providing personal and professional support. This book is the result of considerable contributions by many people.

First, I want to thank my wife, Mary, and our children. I deeply appreciate your insights and stories, especially for the chapter on family.

Second, I am grateful to the Aileron staff and supporters, and the private-business owners and thought leaders, who have influenced me. All of you inspire me continually, and you play an important part in perpetuating the learning and sharing of professional management. By doing so, you raise the quality of life for all in your spheres of influence. ...
