Publisher's Synopsis

For everyone struggling to find meaning in their work and life, and to balance the two, comes this entertaining, powerful, and inspiring fable. Don Jones weaves the compelling tale of Scott, a manager struggling with the increasingly chaotic demands of work and life.

Scott has lost his sense of passion, purpose and meaning, and has settled into a pattern of endless deadlines, late nights, to–do lists and mounting pressure. Not only is his work team underperforming, he is missing out on a relationship with his young son, Jim. It takes a late–night encounter with a mysterious janitor for Scott to come to grips with the fundamental personal and professional challenges we all face iin an increasingly uncertain world.

Walk Softly is about the soft skills that make the hard difference. Against the backdrop of Scott′s story, it offers clear guidelines for creating powerful and productive work relationships and teams, and for discovering what is real in your life before you lose the very thing you are searching for. More than a business fable, it provides seven profound lessons that leaders, managers, and employees can apply immediately to improve results and relationships in business and in life.
