Recognizing that most people are fascinated with flying, author and pilot John Michael Magness seizes an appealing metaphor to inspire today's topflight achievers in business, be they entrepreneurs, sales professionals or other business leaders.

PILOT VISION invites the business reader to look at the world through the eyes of a pilot--to think, plan and act with the daring and the discipline, with the confidence and precision of a highly-trained pilot. Taking the analogy further, Magness compares a business leader with a pilot; the business team or work group with the aircraft; and the customers with the passengers.

Magness presents seven secrets of successful pilots that the reader can adopt to become a "pilot leader" at work. He starts with "pilot vision," the unique three-dimensional perspective that sets all pilot-leaders apart. He also shows how pilot-leaders can:

o soar with technology

o plan for success

o communicate their vision

o fly with trust

You'll enjoy Magness's accessible wisdom as well as his entertaining aviation anecdotes and analogies. You will be inspired to fly higher in the world of business.
