Overview

Investment banker Scott R. Singer learned the hard way that the ability to confront and overcome the unexpected is the most important skill a businessperson can develop. No matter how smart or experienced you are, unanticipated changes can knock anyone off guard. So it's not enough to be a good fastball hitter-you have to get great at hitting curveballs.

After a series of career setbacks and transitions,

Singer started to develop a new approach to dealing with unforeseen problems. He also interviewed prominent curveball hitters such as Leslie Moonves of CBS, Alan Schwartz of Bear Stearns, and actor Michael J. Fox.

Singer's rules for surviving uncertainty include:

· Step up to the plate: Act fast to mitigate the negative and turn crisis into opportunity.

· Be the batter, not the ball: Don't change your view of the world. Be a realist, not a pessimist.

· Keep your eye on the ball: Focus on the task at hand instead of worrying about what might happen.

This fun yet practical audio book can help anyone avoid striking out in both their business and their personal lives.

    Hit the Curveballs, Succeed in Business

    I'm not really a baseball fan, but I love the concept of hitting curveballs in business (and life).

    You can be smart, knowledgeable, and experienced and still be shocked by a curveball. How we handle curveballs in business and life says a lot about character, creativity, and passion.

    Singer gives insightful advice and stories that both small business owners and big business executives can learn from about how to step up to the plate, stop worrying about how you got there, and start thinking about what you are going to do. Because, as Singer points out, "in the end, that's really all you can control."

    With a Table of Contents that leans heavily on baseball metaphors (think innings, not chapters), sports fans will be singing, "Take me out the ballgame." Even if you're not a big baseball fan, you will enjoy as you read:

    Spring Training: The Secret to Making the Majors
    The First Inning: Step Up to the Plate
    The Second Inning: Be the Batter, Not the Ball
    The Third Inning: Keep Your Eye on the Ball
    The Fourth Inning: Listen to Your Coach
    The Fifth Inning: Step Outside the Batter's Box
    The Sixth Inning: Wait for Your Pitch
    The Seventh Inning: Become a Home Run Hitter
    The Eighth Inning: Fill Out Your Lineup
    The Ninth Inning: Outside the Ballpark
    An Extra Inning: Yet Another Curveball

    And here's my confession: I have insider information. I know Scott personally and have watched him advise others on how to deal with curveballs, as well as hit his own curveballs out of the park. And he does it with insight, grace, and style to emulate.
