Book Overview
When veteran television announcer Charlie Jones got assigned to the hinterlands of Olympic broadcasting to cover rowing, canoeing, and kayaking, he serendipitously discovered a powerful philosophy for focused living: That's Outside My Boat. He learned that Olympic rowers never let anything outside their boat prevent them from achieving their goals. Jones, with coauthor Kim Doren, realized that the world of business - and all aspects of life - could greatly benefit when this same perspective is applied. The book uses the power of the personal example to show how focusing on what one decides is important fosters success. Bob Wright, vice chairman of General Electric; Terry Bradshaw, NFL broadcaster and TV personality; Jack Kemp, codirector of Empower America; Liz Dolan, former Nike corporate vice president; and many other business leaders apply this philosophy to their own experience in That's Outside My Boat. It's a powerful tool for business and life.

GREAT BOOK, REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book was great. Each chapter is no more than 4 pages each. It gives you real life stories from the former CEO of Nike to a vietnam veteran to a divorced mother. This book helps you to understand what it is you control and how you can control it, and to decide what you cannot control, so that it won't get the best of you. It is very well written, and helped me with my stressful job. I recommend this book to anyone in business and those in a a management or leadership role. This can help to develop teamwork, or it can apply individually. Out of all professional development books I have read, this is by far the best influence in my life and at work.
