Authors

Peter J. Boni has advanced by tackling tough assignments to reposition organizations that have run aground. During his career, he added $5 billion of value as a CEO, Fortune 500 executive, consultant, director, and venture capital investor. Twice cited in Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year competition, he has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily and commented for CNBC, TheStreet.com, and Fox Business. Drawing from real-world business and military experience, he has refined a three-phase leadership process to advance careers and guide organizational teams through troubled waters. Boni resides in the Philadelphia area and sails in his native Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

How do you take an underperforming unit–team, department, office, or company–that has run aground and get it moving forward?

In All Hands On Deck, Peter J. Boni shows any leader or aspiring leader exactly what to do. Following his advice, recognition and rewards come quickly. It even allows leaders without an MBA or Ivy League education to leapfrog over those who have superior credentials or stronger ties to the old boys’ network.

Peter’s own career is the best illustration of his methods. A former special operations infantry officer and decorated combat veteran, Boni became a high-tech CEO of a wide variety of companies during a 30-year business career, leading many of them through the varying stages of growth, maturity, trouble, and renewal.

Boni shows you how to use his scars of experience to rapidly advance your own career. Through his own experiences and detailed case studies, All Hands On Deck clearly illustrates how to:

  • Create your plan and gain the buy-in of critical constituents
  • Kick off the plan boldly, with your team completely aligned to achieve its critical success factors
  • Execute the plan, overcome obstacles, and produce stellar, recognition-worthy results

    "An interesting, informative and real-life look at corporate situations going off course and the opportunities that are available for the intrepid entrepreneur/leader to move forward in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds. All Hands on Deck reads like a ship's log on a high seas adventure of adversity and triumph. It serves as a great instruction manual for dealing with stormy weather.
