Jack says the book is, “A must read for every leader.”
Other Machers praising the book include:
Bill Gates who says, "Don possesses a special combination of experience, wisdom, self- confidence, and self-awareness. His commandments for failure will teach you more about business success than a whole shelf full of books."
Warren Buffett wrote in the foreword, “Don’s best ability is to cut to the chase on an issue, to cut through the bureaucratic fog. Keep it simple is his principle and mine too.”
And Barry Diller, Chairman and CEO, IAC/InterActive Corp. wrote, “I would rather listen to Don Keough on almost any subject – his empathetic wit and wisdom are a cure all for what ails on any day. He's now written it down and if you want to learn about life and work, learn from this master.”
Keough’s “The Ten Commandments For Business Failure” is published by the Penguin imprint, Portfolio.
And this programming note: Mr. Keough is scheduled to appear on CNBC’s Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo on Monday, July 21.
