Talk about a brilliant, inspiring, motivating book! Reading itlaced with powerful, practical examplesaffirms and empowers you to choose success; to choose excellence; to see change and constant improvement as an ally instead of a fearsome enemy; [and] to choose a complementary team style where strengths are made productive and weakness made irrelevant because of the strengths of other team members. Intertwining personal and organizational/cultural development is so vital and beautifully illustrated throughout. What an illuminating, uplifting read! I can hear and feel Dr. Willie entertaining as well as educating.

The concept of an attitude of excellence is essential to ensure positive forward movement in business and life. I have bought boxes of the book and I have given this book to team members, new hires, and also to my son along with his high school friends! This book works!

Gail Smith-Howard, general manager at Hyatt Regency Washington

What an incredible book! I have used An Attitude of Excellence with three different organizations that I have led. One had an existing culture of excellence, one was creating a new culture of excellence, and the last was blending 2 cultures that were radically different. An attitude of excellence challenges every reader to show up and expect to win. We were able to create cultures where winning was not just enough, it was the margin of victory that mattered... a 21 victory was not as fun as 151! The principles of this uplifting, inspiring, and entertaining book led to the most effective motivational tool that I have witnessed in my career. This book inspires the reader to hold themselves accountable at work, at home, and in the silence of their thoughts. We could see responses from team members when asked How are you doing? go from I am good to I am excellent! The team members held each other accountable and no one wanted to be the weak link and disappoint other department heads. The ability of the organization to generate significant amounts of discretionary effort, it is that incremental effort that is made by each individual in the organization when no one is watching! Swing for the fences, expect to win, fail fast, and believe that you can win by a wide margin. The oxygen is very thin at this level of success but Willie Jolleys principles will help you enjoy the sweetness at the top of the mountain. Enjoy and get ready to shake and bake!

Tom Raponi, former vice president of GM Cox Media, KTVU/KICU/WFXT
