Publisher's Synopsis
Mike Stillwell is the CEO of Stillwell Distributors and second generation small business owner. His father, deceased for eight years, had carefully groomed him to take over the family business. Mike is a smart business man with an MBA to compliment his work experience. He is a good leader and genuinely cares for the well-being of his employees. Stillwell Distributors has experienced steady growth with solid, though unspectacular, financial performance under his direction. He has worked extremely hard to ensure his father's legacy will continue on. In fact, Mike hopes to one day hand over a thriving business to his children.
However, Mike is exasperated by reoccurring problems that he cannot seem to effectively eliminate. He feels these problems are unique to his business. He believes these issues are starting to have a profound impact on the organization. So, he pours even more time and energy into the business. With his work-life balance completely out of line, Mike is feeling the weight of the world squarely on his shoulders.
Mike is every business leader.
Fortunately, Mike takes a timely weekend to help his Uncle Dave with a construction project and discovers the solutions to his problems are much simpler than he realized. It all begins with a promise!
