In The Six Fundamentals of Success, CEO and business consultant Stuart Levine spells out exactly how to practice the constants of business success—whether it's satisfying customers, developing strong relationships, or communicating clearly—through six fundamental principles, gained from decades of experience working with top executives. But it's the way Levine zeroes in on these fundamentals—add value, communicate well, deliver results, act with integrity, invest in relationships, and gain perspective—and brings them to life through dozens of pithy, to-the-point rules that makes the book so practical and useful. With no-nonsense lessons like "Face time counts," "Do breakfast," and "Share the good news—and the bad," Levine offers concrete examples of how to behave, respond, and motivate others.

Aimed at business people and entrepreneurs at all levels, whether they work in companies large or small, The Six Fundamentals of Successprovides the smart, action-oriented guidance people need in today's challenging climate.

This new, revised edition includes material on how to assess your personal and team fundamentals IQ as well as information and worksheets to help you strengthen and inspire your fundamentals skills.
