A winning quarterback knows what every person on the field of play is doing, including the people on the other team. After analyzing the defensive alignment, he doesn't hesitate to change the call at the line of scrimmage. Good quarterbacks are, without a doubt, managers on the field; they analyze everything and make smart decisions under pressure. These same characteristics are required to be a successful company manager or owner. Van W. Cuthrell, who has excelled as a quarterback, coach, and business owner, shares the lessons he's learned over a career of managing on and off the field. You'll learn why enthusiasm, competition and discipline are important to any organization; how regular practice leads to winning; ways to get the right players on your team; and communication skills that will drive success. Establishing a game plan is critical if you want to call the right plays and succeed. Your plan must have vision and ambition, and it must excite and motivate your employees. Get on the top of your game with Quarterback Management.
