Ping Pong Leadership: 18 Principles to Succeed at Any Table in Business, Sports, and Life (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798891380530)

Tens of millions of people worldwide enjoy ping pong on some level. And if you're looking to enhance your leadership skills, ping pong offers surprisingly relevant lessons for success.

Justin Bookey has spent decades in both worlds. As an Emmy-nominated content creator and strategist, he's worked with leaders at global companies to accomplish their business goals. As a competitive table tennis player, he's trained with national and world champions and won medals at the US Open.

Those two worlds rarely overlapped--until Bookey realized that the core principles he learned while training to compete at the table also apply to success in business and leadership.

In the 1970s, the leaders of the US and China famously used friendly table tennis matches as a first step in thawing decades of icy relations--an effort dubbed Ping Pong Diplomacy. Ping Pong Leadership takes the next step, showing leaders of all types how to envision and create meaningful change, from small business to the Fortune 500 and broader communities.

Along with exclusive insights from leaders in commerce, culture, and technology, this book distills lessons from a beloved global sport into 18 actionable and unforgettable "Pong Principles."

For leaders, entrepreneurs, and competitors of all kinds, Ping Pong Leadership is a powerful guide to success at any table.
