5.0 out of 5 stars Very inspirational..., May 31, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is not a self help type of books for MK consultants. It describes the type of leadership you will find at the MK headquarters and throughout the company. Many business owners and corporations could learn a thing or two from this book, as well as the lay person in search of living a better life and improve their interpersonal skills. I am a consultant and now I understand many things I've been learning from my directors. If you are in MK you MUST get the book. If you are a business owner, YOU MUST also get the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a tribute to a company..., January 16, 2003
By 
Jennifer Matz (Fairbanks, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does more than explain the success behind Mary Kay, Inc. It tells the world how Mary Kay Ash lived her life. The simple steps outlined in this book can give direction not only to a business but to a life. The sections are put together well and the text is very well thought out and suggestions are given from the heart. Every business leader should read this book and put it into practice.
