Recommendation
SAP CEO Bill McDermott’s memoir explores the mind and methods of a super achiever. McDermott bought and ran his first business – a delicatessen – while still in high school. He went on to lead Xerox sales teams to record-breaking success and nearly doubled revenues at the company’s Xerox Business Services division. On his watch, software giant SAP’s valuation soared 75% and its total revenue leaped 57% to €16.8 billion. He proudly shares his secret weapons: hard work, optimism and an interest in people. McDermott and writer Joanne Gordon describe his life and values in an engaging, uplifting style, with a refreshing absence of management argot. getAbstract believes McDermott’s story will inspire entrepreneurs, salespeople and managers to find their own records to break.
