Bounce! Hardcover - 2008

Summary

From the jacket flap

Bounce! is about developing confidence, but not just any sort of confidence. It's about developing the kind of true business confidence that prepares you for both failure and success.

But this is not a book about coming back from failure.

Comeback books have been written many times before. The comeback is romanticized in society and totally overrated. In Bounce!, you'll learn about accepting failure as a normal part of the process even when there isn't something to learn from it. Failure that offers no real learning value jolts the business belief system.

In Bounce!, entrepreneur and business owner Barry Moltz explains that both success and failure are simply outcomes in the normal life cycle of business--a life cycle in which overall process matters far more than any single event or outcome. Great businesses are those that develop the resiliency to bounce through these cycles to succeed over the long term. Using a blend of personal experience and firsthand interviews with business leaders, Moltz shares the practical tools and techniques that every business needs to survive the cycle of ups and downs. In Bounce!, you'll learn the "building bands" for true business confidence, including:

• Using humility to "right size" your ego
• Making fear fly in formation
• Using choices to embrace failure when it happens
• The art of more effective risk-taking
• How process trumps outcome
• Setting patient goals to establish your own scorecard
• Creating your own brand of success

Bounce! lets you move forward from any event, situation, or outcome--good or bad--to the next place where a decision can be made based on the choices currently available to you Bounce! allows us to be passionately excited and intensely enthusiastic about our business and our lives.
