From AudioFile:
An investigative journalist draws lessons from the lives and careers of Mormon leaders at organizations like Dell, American Express, and Harvard Business School. With obvious admiration, he explains the reasons for their success without dwelling on the high moral purpose in their lives. From their devotion to their families and church communities to their skill at managing disasters and negotiating tough agreements, their persistence and focus under pressure are impressive. Author Jeff Benedict's reading is remarkably professional. Without sounding dispassionate, he stands back from a story that could easily have tapped into his pride or righteousness as a devout Mormon. His audible humility conveys respect for the sensibilities of his audience as well as for these distinguished executives. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
