Real–world executives reveal how their early experiences have helped them become the best in business, and beyond How were they raised? What mistakes did they make along the way? What were the adversities they faced? These are just a sampling of key questions top leaders answer in From the Sandbox to the Corner Office. Many of them were spanked as children, including Time Warner′s CEO whose parents used a switch from a tree. Others faced major obstacles, such as Ameritrade′s CEO who has struggled with stuttering all his life. And many were immigrants who worked their way out of poverty, such as the COO of Cingular who as a young boy came to America from Cuba alone. Based on more than 50 interviews with some of todayâ s top corporate executives and leaders from all walks of life, this book offers key lessons for those looking to achieve success in todayâ s world of business, nonprofits, and government. With this book as their guide, readers will learn what it takes to make it to the top and discover that a good resume or an MBA from a leading business school doesnâ t always help you get there.

These individuals discuss both the personal and professional experiencesâ from near–fatal mistakes to the influence of parentsâ that have shaped the way they lead and offer valuable insights that can benefit employees of all levels, from starting managers to CEOs.
