Uncle Gary's - Business Foundations

Whether you're a student thinking of a career in business or just starting out in your career, Uncle Gary's Business Foundations is designed to help you succeed. It's written in a conversational style, so you'll feel like you're chatting with an older family member or dear family friend, Uncle Gary, relaxing after a holiday dinner or on a summer evening on the front porch. Each Conversation deals with a skill, situation, behavior, or fact of life that you'll need to develop or naturally possess or will encounter in your business career. Conversations cover such topics as Listening, Forming Alliances, It's Not Personal, and Communication, among others. The key takeaways are bullet-pointed for easy reference at the end of each Conversation.
The book's messages are based on the author's experiences from his 40+ year-career in large and small enterprises. Gary Urban backs up and illustrates the ideas and messages in each chapter with examples from his own career. This is personal, frank and unvarnished foundational information that you'll need to know to succeed and advance in the business world.
