About the book

Meet a Great Leader
No matter who you are or how many people you’ve led, this book will forever enhance the way you think about leadership. Not only the way you lead at work, at home, or in your community, but even how you lead yourself.

It is the final legacy of Thomas Derale, a man viewed by those around him as the greatest leader in the world. His businesses made fortunes, his employees loved him, and when necessary, his customers would wait weeks just to interact with his companies.

He died tragically at just fifty-five years of age, and even in that—the act of dying—he inspired everyone around him. This is a story about who he was, how he led, and the way he left this world.

These are the secrets he used to build fourteen highly profitable companies, create cultures so purposeful that customers and the most talented people sought him out, and leave a legacy that will be remembered for generations.

The pioneering business principles in this book, such as the Big Five for Life, are his final gift for current and future leaders everywhere. They have already helped thousands of people and organizations around the world.For more resources and ideas log on to www.bigfiveforlife.com.

    Gute Sachen fürs Leben in einer sehr guten Geschichte verpackt, aber definitiv am wertvollsten für Unternehmer.

    Ich finde das so wichtig welche Fakten er in den Buch wieder gibt um an sich zu wachsen und das wichtigste im Fokus zu halten. Vorallem gerne zur arbeit zu gehen Spaß an dem haben was man umsetzen will.

    Wertvolles Wissen - verpackt in fiktive Geschichte

    Big Five for Live ist ein kurzweiliges und gut lesbares Buch, das auf inspirierende Weise dazu anregt, über die eigenen Lebensziele nachzudenken. Anhand einer einfachen Geschichte zeigt der Autor, wie erfülltes Leben und sinnvolle Arbeit zusammenhängen können. Ich habe aus dem Buch einiges gelernt und viele Denkanstöße für meine eigenen Prioritäten mitgenommen.
