NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Winding Road to Excellence: Leadership Lessons Learned from Life’s Potholes, by G.T. “Toby” Stansell is now available. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon.

The Winding Road to Excellence is as much about “what not to do” as a leader as it is about finding a “better way” to lead.

Cargo, LLC CEO Toby Stansell acknowledges that, as individuals and leaders, no one ever really has their business or life fully figured out. We’re all doing our best to leverage our strengths and evolve our weaknesses, and as our careers and lives progress, most leaders know we learn more from the potholes we fall into than the things that go perfectly.

“All of us are imbued with about the same number of assets and liabilities that we bring to life and leadership; it’s just that yours are different from mine and mine are different from yours,” Stansell said. “What we do with them is what matters. 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.”

Funny, relatable, concise, and powerful, Stansell’s book is a pocketable guide for leaders across any industry. Stansell shares the mantras he’s learned, tweaked, and created out of thin air over the course of his career. He shares the hard lessons he learned, not so you won’t have to, but because you certainly will, too. His book is rooted in the harsh realities that all leaders face at some point. Stansell wants to help C-level executives find meaning in these hardships and grow stronger as a result.

“This book is about sharing the lessons I’ve learned that have evolved into principles for how I want to lead my life and how I want to lead organizations,” Stansell said. “It’s a collection, of sorts, of ideas that have become signposts for me. I’m hopeful that a few of them might help you further refine your approach to life and leadership as well.”
