Description

A leadership and career manifesto told through the narrative of one among these days’s most inspiring, admired, and successful global leaders.

In Winners Dream, Bill McDermott—the CEO of the world’s largest business software company, SAP—chronicles how relentless optimism, hard work, and disciplined execution embolden people and equip organizations to reach audacious goals.

Growing up in working-class Long Island, a sixteen-year-old Bill traded three hourly wage jobs to shop for a small deli, which he ran by instinctively applying ideas that will be the seeds for his future success. After paying for and graduating college, Bill talked his way into a job selling copiers door-to-door for Xerox, where he went on to rank number one in each and every sales position he held and Ultimately became the company’s youngest-ever corporate officer. Ultimately, Bill left Xerox and in 2002 became the unlikely president of SAP’s flailing American business unit. There, he injected enthusiasm and accountability into the demoralized culture by scaling his deli, sales, and management strategies. In 2010, Bill used to be named co-CEO, and in May 2014 became SAP’s sole, and first non-European, CEO.

Colorful and fast-paced, Bill’s anecdotes contain effective takeaways: gutsy career moves; empathetic sales strategies; incentives that yield exceptional team performance; and proof of the competitive advantages of optimism and hard work. On the heart of Bill’s story is a blueprint for success and the knowledge that the true dream is the journey, not a preconceived destination.
