Xceptionalize Your Business

Non-Fiction, Business, Leadership

LOOKING FOR: Cover Designer Layout Designer Media Relations

In the Author's Words // The term "Xceptionalize" is a derivative of two words: "Exceptional Execution." Research by Columbia University in 2006 reinforced the term’s significance, revealing that 88 percent of "breakthrough companies" were the result of "exceptional execution of an ordinary idea." Only 12 percent were the result of new inventions.

The book is designed for start-up entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized enterprises and focuses upon the exceptional execution of a business's three core drivers: Person – the promoter, the founding/leader catalyst who shapes the business model and performance culture. People – the internal and external customers who create value. Whilst individuals are unique, behavioral psychology sciences illustrate they are also remarkably predictable. Process – reinforcing the sales person era is no more, this is the age of the uber informed, connected customer.

Xceptionalize will embolden and equip would-be entrepreneurs and current business leaders with stories, case studies, practical toolkits and resources.
