Publisher's Synopsis
INSIGHT: The Role of Business Advice in an Age of Complexity prepares business owners to navigate transitions that have significant personal, emotional, and financial impact on their lives. These periodic phases of a growing business include establishment of a vision, taking on major financial debt, crisis planning, succession, the sale of a business, acquisition, and post-purchase integration.
Wimer also dives into the realities of owning a business, exploring why owners seek advice, when the advice matters most, and common advice killers. And after exhibiting whom to listen to and when, he outlines how to make the advice work by leading with heart and putting people first.
The book gets at the core of Wimer's business philosophy with thirteen "guiding virtues of advice," which include adaptability, intuition, resourcefulness, and patience, then delves into what it takes to become an advisor like Wimer.
David Wimer and coauthor Robert F. Everett, PhD, show business owners that there's no need to suffer when so many options for obtaining advice abound-it's a matter of answering the right questions to find the right path to pursue.
