Geoff Loftus To Read and Sign New Book at Borders

Edgemont resident and author, Geoff Loftus will be at Borders bookstore at 680 White Plains Post Road on June 6, 2010, at 2 pm for a D-Day Anniversary reading and signing of his new book, Lead Like Ike: Ten Business Strategies from the CEO of D-Day.

Not another leadership book, Lead Like Ike explains how to man up and manage tough in the face of today’s crushing corporate pressure.

In the current business environment, most executives could learn some real lessons from the man who managed what many may qualify as one of the single largest, most important and highest-pressure business projects in all of history.

Lead Like Ike begins with Dwight Eisenhower reporting for work as the CEO of D-Day Inc., facing a tight timeline, having to create an enormous executive staff and company, and then managing the invasion of an entire continent. At stake? Merely the lives of tens of thousands of men, the futures of their families back home, the country for which they fought and quite possibly, the fate of the free world. By analyzing military operations as business operations, and the commanding general as CEO, Ike finds management lessons for modern corporate executives.
