This book passes on the values and philosophies that have fueled Ray Hickey's ascent to the top of his profession. His time-honored tenets for achieving success are interspersed with tales of adventures on the river and at sea, lessons from his days coaching Little League, and memories of his gutsy moves as an executive. As a boss, Hickey's personal work ethic and consideration of others inspired the respect, allegiance, and affection of employees and clients alike. He never forgot where he came from, nor considered himself above getting his hands dirty. Hickey reveals the secret to his meteoric rise through the company ranks, a strategy that flies in the face of current trends: work hard, do your best, and let your goal find you. The wisdom of Hickey's book is especially useful for younger readers. Much of the common sense Hickey disseminates (a handshake is a contract, the customer signs your paycheck, etc.) is not-so-common in these days of corporate corruption and questionable business practices.
