Inhaltsangabe

In this book you can learn how to run a company while at the same time enjoying time to laugh. Few authors have been able to combine the two. The Library of Congress placed it in the "business" and "humor" categories. Those are very fair classifications.

In a world of high tech communications,, when email has replaced the personal letter and voice mail intrudes into our every moment, the art of storytelling has almost been lost. And then comes along a person like Ben Gill who raises that art to a new level. He tells his stories and touches our hearts and soul while finally slamming home a point that we can apply to our lives and to our careers.

In "Random Thoughts from a Wandering Mind', we are taken on a journey that began in a simple farm house without indoor plumbing in Dell, Arkansas to the ninth floor corporte offices of RSI Holdings, Inc. the largest fund raising organization in the world. We are given insights along the way through the eyes of an eight-year old boy in that small village in Arkansas who was chastised by his second grade teacher for "having a wandering mind."

We see his world as a teenager, a college student and ultimately to the chairmanship of a major corporation. And all along the way that "wandering mind" is always seeing things slightly out of kilter, slightly off balance and always with an ounce of humor thrown into the mix.

This is a business book with a message.
