Winners Dream

In the pantheon of CEOs, few people have the visibility, charisma and hunger of Bill McDermott. His career is a classic story of ambi - tion and drive: from the hard - knock streets of his youth in Long Island, to his first forays in business behind the counter of a deli he bought and then operated at the age of 17, to his extraordinary rise through the Xerox Corporation where he pleaded for his first job, to his emergence as the CEO of one of the most celebrated and ad - mired global companies of our age. His stories - at turns hilarious and moving, but always inspiring - offer invaluable lessons in self - direction, management and leadership. Colorful and fast - paced, Bill's anecdotes contain effective takea - ways: gutsy career moves empathetic sales strategies incentives that yield exceptional team performance and proof of the competi - tive advantages of optimism and hard work. At the heart of Bill's story is a blueprint for success and the knowledge that the real dream is the journey, not a preconceived destination.
