Like a moose in the living room, some problems are hard to
ignore. Randall Tobias says that whether these problems are in business or in life,
it is best to confront them openly and honestly.
Put the Moose on
the Table sets forth the ethical lessons Tobias first learned as a youth in
Remington, Indiana, which continued to guide his upward trajectory through the
business world. Among the topics he discusses are leading by example, dealing with
wrenching change, the importance of openness versus secrecy, mentoring, and
"the vision thing."
This is an enlightening and hopeful
book about succeeding without selling out, turning change to advantage, and
confronting difficult issues, told from the point of view of one who has played a
significant role in two of the major corporate transformations of our
time.
