10 Truths About Leadership: ... It's Not Just About Winning

by Peter A. Luongo, Curt W. Coffman (Foreword by)

Overview

Many leaders remember those life-changing moments when it suddenly became crystal clear what had to be done to reach their organizations' goals. It wasn't until Pete Luongo was faced with that one epiphany in his life, a difficult period that required him to rebalance life's priorities and bring a new understanding to his work, that he recognized that all results are based upon behaviors appropriate to the circumstances. Through this understanding -- that actions are determined by specific, well-defined standards -- he developed a model for success, one that is both sustainable and that allows people to retain their personal dignity as they pursue their life plans. In this book, Luongo illuminates the ten most common obstacles to success and pairs them with the ageless principles that help readers overcome them. His straightforward advice, based on data and hard-won experience, provides an understandable and virtually guaranteed plan for improvement and achievement.

During his last nine years he was instrumental in guiding the billion and a half-dollar yellow page-advertising agency through a period of record sales growth, numerous contract acquisitions, and the perpetuation of the nearly one-hundred-year-old company as an industry leader as well as “a great place to work.”

He serves as board chair of the Dayton Area United Way, is vice-chair of the Greene Hospital Board, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Dayton Development Coalition. He joined the University of Dayton’s School of Business as an executive-in-resident and teaches strategic planning in the MBA Capstone Program.
