Today it seems nearly impossible to open a newspaper without finding a
story of corruption, cover-ups, or ethical lapses in judgment from
prominent figures in positions of authority. With corporate and
political scandal rampant and executives headed to jail in record
numbers, the unbridled pursuit of wealth and abusive use of power are
no longer options. Now, as an instrument of change, Bestselling
co-authors Vicky Therese Davis, William R. Patterson, and D. Marques
Patton step forward to present their new book, "The Baron Son," as a
revolutionary road map to ethically guide leaders and remake America's
organizations.
After completing "The Baron Son," I found it to be as promised, a
challenging and insightful work with a life-changing power. For those
with no interest in the subject of leadership, not to worry, the
teachings of "The Baron Son" reach far beyond the genre, adeptly
covering such areas as building wealth, entrepreneurship, marketing and
salesmanship to name a few.
"The Baron Son" is an instructional tale that reveals the
wealth-building secrets of an oil merchant who through a string of
successes and failures becomes the richest man the world has ever
known. Having started from nothing, this wealthy Baron uses his life as
the blueprint for the ethical attainment of riches both in material and
non-material form. With many unexpected twists and turns, the story
alone makes for a fascinating read, but the valuable leadership,
financial, and business lessons formed into 11 "Supreme Principles"
propel the book into an entirely different realm. Its archaic style is
reminiscent of such classic works as "The Richest Man in Babylon" by
George Clayson or "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino.
In my opinion however, the story and depth of content in "The Baron
Son" easily surpass both earlier books.
The authors do an excellent job of weaving their insights on a number
of pertinent and diverse topics into a colorful and inspiring story.
There are countless ideas that entrepreneurs will benefit from whether
they are starting a new business or growing an existing enterprise.
Investors will also notice subtle points that can help them improve
their returns and avoid bad investments. Lastly, and perhaps most
importantly, there is a clear road map for ethical leaders to help them
direct their actions with vision, integrity, and passion to create the
greatest value for all those they serve. Recent history has proven this
to be a lost ideal.
As with all things, there will be some people who will not appreciate
the book or realize that they are the ones that need it most, but for
those individuals with creative vision, there will be no limit to what
he or she can achieve through its teachings. It is one of those few
unique works that will reveal a new understanding each time it is
opened. A book of wisdom for all seasons of life, "The Baron Son" truly
is, as the authors would say, one of the "Seedlings of Empires."
