Book Overview

"I never give much credence to anybodywhose butt is the same shape as their desk chair." -- Dirty Harry

Get off your butt. Get your hands dirty. Get the job done.

Everybody.

And, yes, that means you

For all those who are incensed with excuses, who feel insulted by a constant barrage of dumb ideas or are left fuming over no-shows, let down by others who have no guts, and who find themselves driven to new heights of frustration by having to take no for an answer, management and leadership dynamo Frank Pacetta offers a simple piece of advice:

Waiting for someone else to take responsibility for your success and happiness is futile.

Stop Whining--and Start Winning is the book for anybody who wants to make a difference. Whatever the occupation, organization, or industry--so long as there are people involved--there are techniques, rules, and tactics that get the job done right:

Get Dirty to Clean Up

Make It Personal

To Hell with Ho-Hum

These are just some of the inspiring lessons Pacetta shares in this motivational road map to combating corporate apathy, lost talent, and poor results. With wit, insight, and irreverence, he takes a frank, no-nonsense look at what's wrong with the concept of "business as usual," and shows readers how to find the right people, instill a fighting and winning spirit within them, and provide the kinds of leadership and business process that will not only improve morale but also boost the bottom line.

This unique and inspirational "how-to" guide contains tried and tested solutions to issues that seem to constantly trip up individuals who have difficulty breaking out of the pack and living up to their potential, no matter how hard they try.

Feeling held back or shortchanged by others as you struggle in your career? Overwhelmed by the seemingly insurmountable odds that seem to line your path to the next rung on the ladder? Convinced that the whole world has somehow conspired to keep you down and prevent you from succeeding? Well ...

Stop Whining--and Start Winning

This book will change your life, by giving you ideas that can be put into immediate effect for immediate results. It will enable you to build the business, the career, and the life you've always wanted, but whined that you thought you could never have.

A great energizer for the sales force

The author does an excellent job of pushing the reader to get engaged with their work / co-workers and to not be scared of displaying emotion. Down with the sterile arms length work environment and up with sincerity and high energy dedication. I especially like the discussion of building a high performance team where the author says "My strategy is to always build teams around the highest performers and let them set such a blistering pace that the mediocre performers can't hide and chose to go someplace else where they're more comfortable." A great book for people looking for a positive jolt of career energy.

Great Book! But has anyone noticed...?

Pacetta's book is a real winner! Of course there is nothing new in the area of sales, motivation, or inspiration. What is new is the way it is all arranged. And Pacetta arranges his material with wit, honesty, humor, and a blatant attack on the basics. Back to basics is what every professional needs. We get so caught up with our careers and lives, that we stray from the basics; the basics of business, customer relations, employee development, etc. I read this book from cover to cover and loved every page. BUT, did anyone else notice all the typo's? I have never read a book with so many typo's and grammatical errors. It got to the point where it was humorous. Several in each chapter... but it was still a great book and worth every penny. It is especially a must read for those in top level management!

Thanks, Frank!

I had the privilege of attending one of Frank Pacetta's presentations last month and enjoyed it so much that I bought his latest book. His passion and no-nonsense style has really inspired me to help in eliminating the "ho hum" in our organization or move on to a place that has that "passionate attachment" towards its employees. Thanks for a great book Frank!

I'm a sales trainer and, from a calloused standpoint, don't believe that there is anything really, really new in the world of sales. What's left is the ability or strategy of finding your passion and setting or staying on a course of success. I believe Frank Pacetta is all about that. I've had the pleasure of meeting Frank and his family and can attest to the fact that this man "walks his talk"! As he says, if you're spending a little too long in the shower or can't read this book, you need a change!

I stopped whining and started winning!

I own this book and it's very motivational and yet is not only focusing on the motivation aspect of the workplace. It deals with many issues and shows you how to tackle them head on! I'm purchasing the audio book version of this because I want to share this with my co-workers who keep putting it off saying that they don't have time. I would definately make time for this book as it has helped me in many ways to improve my management style.
