Working Toward Excellence - Second Edition - by Buyer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Excellence is a Choice--And It's Nonnegotiable

What separates average from excellent, common from uncommon, fitting in from standing out? It's not talent, luck, or circumstance. It's the daily commitment to nonnegotiables--the core values that drive consistent success.

In this expanded and updated second edition of Working Toward Excellence, author and speaker Dr. Paul Buyer presents ten essential nonnegotiables for achieving uncommon success in work and life. Drawing on lessons from high performers across business, sports, education, and the arts, Dr. Buyer delivers a clear, actionable framework that inspires individuals and teams to aim higher and achieve more.

Packed with fresh insights, new research, and powerful stories--including two brand-new nonnegotiables: Simplicity and Sacrifice--this edition shows why, in a world obsessed with doing more, often the secret is doing less--but doing it with focus and purpose.

Inside you'll learn how to:

• Embrace simplicity to cut through clutter and distractions
• Lead with trust, consistency, and standards
• Develop a "low tolerance for mediocrity" mindset
• Master the ten nonnegotiables that create lasting success in any field

Whether you are a business leader, coach, educator, entrepreneur, or student, Working Toward Excellence is your personal guide for cultivating a culture of excellence--one decision at a time.
