Book Review: Start With the Answer and Other Wisdom for Aspiring Leaders by Bob Seelert - Page 2

Start With the Answer contains brief essays, many only 300 words, but they portray an honest account of the challenges Seelert faced throughout his career, and impart subtle wisdom for winning strategies such as “Outsmart your competition” and “Don’t settle for either/or – go for and/and.”

One of the most relevant notions in Start With the Answer is to tell the truth. “When things are not going well, until you get the truth out on the table, no matter how ugly, you are not in a position to deal with it.” So, perhaps this book is equally suited to today’s politicians, as well as entrepreneurs and corporate executives.

With over ninety stories in Start With the Answer, we’re sure to spawn a few new leaders who benefit from Seelert’s inspiration and wisdom. This is a wise compendium of common sense approaches to decision making, delegation and leadership.

The full-color hardback makes an impressive gift, but there’s also a link below to the Kindle edition for those who want to take Seelert’s wisdom on the road.
