{"product_id":"9781468537437","title":"How To Get There From Here...The Ten Lessons That Have Served Me Well","description":"THEN AND NOW  In 1971, as an undergraduate student at Loyola University of Chicago, I often sat on the steps of the Chicago Water Tower during class breaks. I watched the traffic flowing north and south along Michigan Avenue’s bustling Magnificent Mile. As a kid who hailed from the housing projects on the west side of Chicago, I marveled at the late model cars, beautifully tailored pedestrians and the expensive boutiques that lined the street.  I often wondered, “How do you get there from here?”  In 1994, I arrived in Bentonville, Arkansas to assume my new post as the Senior Vice-President of the People Division for Wal-Mart Stores (Sam Walton’s term for human resources). Soon to become the world’s largest retailer and private employer, a Fortune #1 company and among the Fortune 100 Best Companies To Work For. I had experienced an exciting and satisfying journey.  Today, residing on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina I enjoy my role as consultant and corporate board member for several public companies. Over the years, I have shared my thoughts on “getting there from here” in many places around the world. Why not finally put them in a book? Good question. This book is my answer. Enjoy.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144341111024,"sku":"9781468537437","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468537437_p0.jpg?v=1763695870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468537437","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
