“When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.”
~ Lolly Daskal, Leadership Executive Coach
A lot of individuals know how to move from good to great, but only a select few know how to go from good to great and then beyond. This book is the result of intimate conversations about self-management traits of some of America’s giants. Corporate giants like Warren Buffet. Leadership giants like Commander Ron Mumm, head of the Thunderbirds’ precision flying team. Achievement giants like baseball’s Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. Gathering Pebbles is a perspective of how internal greatness is the foundation for achieving external eminence. David Okerlund has digested the thoughts of these individuals and others into twenty core values that are the linchpins of personal and organizational success and will change the way you govern your life and career.
