Cr�ticas:

"Doug Tieman's record of leadership at the helm of the Richard Caron Foundation is impressive; how wonderful that he has compiled this amusing and useful 'down home' primer." -D.A. Donahue Partner, financial services firm "Great leaders know that they cannot do it alone. A critical component of leadership is not only doing your best, but also bringing out the best in others through open, honest communication and collaboration. "Doug Tieman's inspiring life story and decades of successful service in the non-profit sector provide all of us with valuable lessons and tools to make ourselves, and those around us, the best that we can be. By bringing out the best in their teams, leaders bring out the best in themselves. The exponential impact of this collaboration emboldens leaders to 'promise the moon and deliver'!" --Daniel Hilferty President and CEO Independence Blue Cross "From farm boy, to turning around an organization on the brink of financial troubles, to successfully leading a world-class organization, Tieman offers a high level perspective on establishing a meaningful career. His detailed focus on accountability, high standards, positive and decisive leadership and a passionate approach, offers concrete lessons that help focus the mind on how to achieve successful and regularly improving outcomes. This highly readable book brings us deep inside a values-driven thinking process and thoughtful analysis that comfortably enlightens us on how to achieve long-term sustainable success for ourselves and the people in our organizations, while benefiting the greater good." -Ed Satell Founder and CEO, Progressive Business Publications "Too many of today's management books are used to espouse the 'latest and greatest' buzz words of management. The one sentiment that is rarely expressed and perhaps completely forgotten is a simple 'Thank you!' With Flying Over the Pig Pen, we are invited along on a very personal journey that reflects the author's great appreciation for all of the people and life lessons that have allowed him to be successful. He skips the buzzwords and speaks directly from his heart. It is wonderfully refreshing!" -Tom Moran Chairman and CEO, Mutual of America

Rese�a del editor:

Growing up on a pork farm, it seemed unlikely that Doug Tieman would reach his goal of becoming a CEO by the time he was 40, but he did. By applying the lessons that he shares in this book and by working hard, he succeeded. After 25 years of working in the addictions field, Tieman entered his own personal recovery. That experience gave him an even greater understanding of the stories he had heard from others in recovery who shared what they went through and the efforts they made to pursue a life of abstinence. He also realized that lessons that apply to life, career achievement and recovery aren't all that different from one another. Tieman believes that one of the issues many people face is an inability to conceptualize and take methodical steps towards actualizing career goals. He also believes that if more people in recovery could do that, it would bring them to a new level of success that ultimately might benefit the entire addictions field. And that's exactly what this book succeeds in doing for its readers.
