Giving a nod to Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, and other highly successful managers, millionaire maker Dan S. Kennedy delivers the answer.

Coached by Kennedy, master results-driven strategies to help you gain iron-fisted control, act in your best interests, and get the results you demand, with a cooperative, high-performing team.

- Start paying for performance, not for showing up
- Establish the best standards for your business--when good enough is enough
- Implement the Speed Imperative: compress the time between ideas and actions to maximize profits
- Hold productive meetings (the best meeting may be no meeting)
- Manage the sales process--the biggest instant improvement (make more $ now!)
- Take a serious look at the new fun mandate: Is a happy workplace a productive workplace?

- Detect activity masquerading as accomplishment (hint: one produces profits and one doesn't)
- Manage the most powerful force for good or evil: word of mouth
