Part of the Fox Business Library, this book is broken down into 55 short chapters, each filled with thought provoking ideas for use in business and in life in general. In the foreword, the author describes the importance that the family dinner table has played in the development of leaders based on the opportunities it provides for parents to share wisdom and guidance. Fox gleaned many of these concepts in the book from well-known contributors such as George Steinbrenner, the late owner of the New York Yankees; Jim McDonald, the former President and CEO of Starbucks; and Kenneth Feld, the CEO of Feld Entertainment; as well as others.
The practical, easy-to-read chapters include the following titles: "When Thomas Jefferson Dined Alone"; "Quality in Not Job 1"; "Buzzsaw the Buzzwords"; and "Don't Park in Front of Your Store". My favorite, however, describing the necessity of putting the right people in the right positions is titled "Don't Put General Patton in Charge of the Mess Hall".
