Just the Ticket for a Demoralized Team

Having a hard time keeping your team rallied during these pathetically lean times? Can't afford to have them lose focus, let alone lose THEM? This is YOUR SIXTH MAN. Jon Gordon is the most positive guy I know. You CAN NOT spend an hour with him and come away feeling anything but fired up about the opportunities that lay ahead for you, given only a change in perspective and attitude.
Read him, subscribe to his weekly emails, his blog, better yet, hire him to come fire up your whole team.
And when you meet him, ask him why his nickname is Hammer.
