The Proverbial Cracker Jack® : How to Get Out of the Box and Become the Prize

Finding the prize in you is what this book is all about. Remember how you used to open a Cracker Jack® box to get the prize? This book will tell you how to be the prize in your organization. How serving well guarantees that you are in demand. How opening doors for others opens new doors for you. Let Dale Henry do for you what he has done for most of the Fortune 500 companies: light your fire! 'Also available on CD.','

How would you in the space of five
minutes so impress a shopkeeper as to
make him give you a $125 tie
and then an expensive camel hair sport coat
at no charge without your asking?

The author did just that. He tells how being mistaken for a bellboy netted him several speaking engagements at a major corporation. Through dozens of stories both inspiring and hilarious the author shows the wisdom of a philosophy of service and self-giving.

'Most people see their jobs the way a mosquito sees a nudist camp: all kinds of opportunity but where do I start?' But when they discover the rich rewards of serving suddenly life becomes exciting and doors begin to open.

If you're feeling burned out maybe it's because you've never been lit! There's a big difference between water at 211 degrees and 212. Dale Henry will turn up the flame and bring you to a full boil. He will motivate you to be a champion. To do a little more than you are paid to. To give a little more than you have to. To try a little harder than you want to. To aim a little higher than you think possible. To expect the best and get it.

Before your ship comes in you have to send a few out. So wake up! Experience a new passion to be the best you can be. To become the prize you need a vision. To get that vision read this book.
