By the Seat of Your Pants: The No-Nonsense Business Management Guide (Hardcover)

I received an advance copy of this book, and although I have read hundreds of books on business management techniques and theories, I found this to be the most comprehensive and realistic guide to the proper management mindset. The concepts regarding balancing process execution and building perfect teams are dead-on, and I love the ability I have to turn to particular sections as needed for management situations. I am a director at a large international corporation, and this book will remain on my desk for years to come.Rocket A.B.C. "abc1rocket" (Phoenix, AZ)

Book Description
A glaring hole in the business bookshelf is finally filled. Until now, there wasn't a fingertip resource for handling everything that the business day throws at you. Enter Tom Gegax's By The Seat Of Your Pants, a soup-to-nuts management guide that stands in stark contrast to the rows of magic-bullet books that promise overnight prosperity.

Visionaries like Best Buy founder and chairman Richard Schulze, One Minute Manager author Ken Blanchard and mind-body pioneer Deepak Chopra are lining up behind Gegax. They know that By The Seat Of Your Pants charts a new course, combining hard-nosed accountability and efficiency (profits first) with an enlightened approach (people first) in one practical package that honors both. After all, it's leaders who are tough-minded and warm-hearted that wind up leading happy people producing healthy profits.

As thorough as a textbook, as lively as a newsmagazine, By The Seat Of Your Pants is an indispensable slingshot for the millions of scrappy Davids taking on corporate Goliaths. It doesn't propose drawing-board theories that should work; it's jammed with real-world practices that do work. Its street-smart tips and techniques connect the dots between every aspect of business in unprecedented detail.

By The Seat Of Your Pants was already a best-seller before it hit bookstores—thanks to advance bulk orders from dozens of businesses and associations. One retail giant ordered 55,000 copies (three tractor-trailers worth) to give to its small business customers.

About the Author
Best-selling author Tom Gegax has been there, grown that, from five vantage points—an executive at one of the world's largest corporations; a start-up entrepreneur; a CEO leading sixteen hundred employees; a business consultant; and a member of numerous boards. By the time Tom sold his company in July 2000 to a multinational firm, it had mushroomed from a sketch on a restaurant napkin to a Midwest market leader with $200 million in revenue. The company was so well managed and profitable that Tom bypassed outside investors and retained ownership control. Today, he helps growing companies raise profits and reduce stress through fast and affordable business management guidance.
