The leadership concepts presented in this book are more than lessons learned through experience, they are truths to be followed. They are universal, timeless, and objective principles that worked yesterday, still work today, and will work tomorrow. They are easy to understand, have broad applicability, and (most importantly) are easy to put into practice. If you’re looking to improve your day-to-day life as a leader, this book provides a well-defined framework for authentic leadership. And there’s no better authentic leader than Toby Stansell to show you the way!”

“Toby Stansell is a true leader who has the two most important characteristics that a real transformational leader can possess: strong, effective communication and a big heart! Toby believes in teamwork, best practice sharing, and leading by example. Toby makes those around him think, and achieve, more than they thought possible, and continually provide a vision of what can be. I am fortunate to be able to experience Toby’s care and commitment as a friend and business associate. I recommend his book with great pleasure!”

“From my initial meeting with Toby, I knew he was an individual that I needed to spend time with to glean from his experience and partner with on transformational projects. One thing that definitely jumps out at you when you meet Toby is that he is incredibly young at heart! He is full of energy, dynamic, and willing to actively engage in development opportunities at various levels. He demonstrates a keen focus on leadership development and stands at the ready to impart his wisdom, all with the unique ability to weave his global exposure into his southern heritage.”

“Things do not always go ‘right’ and rarely do they go as planned. Toby exemplifies the importance of positive thinking and adaptability as key aspects of leadership during periods of rapid change. He has instilled these traits in my everyday activities and is proof a smile goes a long way!”

The Winding Road to Excellence: Leadership Lessons Learned from Life's Potholes Hardcover by G.T. “Toby” Stansell
In this readable and relatable collection of savvy business advice on developing a corporate culture where people genuinely want to perform at their best and keep the interests of the business top of mind, Toby Stansell develops a series of pithy, memorable “Mantras for Excellence.” The mantas he has developed take the form of “one-liners” that capture “learning experiences” in which he had willingly participated or grudgingly endured. From these memorable shorthand mantras, Stansell then develops the ideas and practical applications at their core. Recognizing that an authentic leader must start by being an authentic person, Stansell shares informative stories of how he came to form these mantras - often by falling into the potholes life so often offers up - and from them builds a framework that leaders can put to work in transforming their companies. A transformational leader elevates companies that are desirable to work for, cultivating a culture in which everyone-throughout the organization-is empowered to use their talents to live and work at their best.
As CEO of Cargo LLC and the former CEO and President of companies ranging from Finance to Apparel and High - Tech to Manufacturing, Stansell knows what it takes to lead in a manner that assists people in achieving their best. Stansell has proven an expert at learning how to transform his own life and those around him, taking what on the surface appear to be liabilities and shaping them into key assets. The book is based on the principle that if we look at everything life hands us, good and bad, as an opportunity, we can begin to build a positive, principle-based framework for successful leadership.
