A Message to Garcia (Books of American Wisdom)

I found this to be a brilliant essay, and is simply a must for any business owner or executive. If you haven't read 'A Message to Garcia' then you really are short-changing yourself. Although this book was written almost 100 years ago now, it still rings true with the pin point accurate wisdom it delivers. It is no wonder this book has sold millions of copies over the years. Simply fantastic!

A friend that is also a Bank President recommended me to this slim book. It is required reading by all of his employees. Having responsibility for supervising a number of people myself I found the concept it espouses of taking total responsibility of the tasks on is given quite refreshing. I myself have begun to have all of my organization's new hires read the book and discuss it afterwards. The change in some of them has been remarkable. How thrilling to discuss a new project with a work team and have them dive in with vigor. I agree with the author's assertion that this simple concept should be taught in all colleges and schools across the land.

Excellent philosophy

Great little book about the value of persistence.
