Synopsis:

The Go-Getter is a book written by author Peter Kyne about Peck, who is a veteran of war and double amputee, and is hired by a logging company as a joke which is being played on several employees with poor job performance. Peck surprises his employer when he works hard and sells poor quality lumber at high prices. This is an excellent, timeless title for salespeople and employees which shows them that if they work hard, they can achieve anything and Peter Kyne's writing style is both positive and motivating. This title is often given to salespeople and employees in general by corporations and companies as a highly motivating book.

Review:

"Although Kyne's tale of business smarts has been around for some time, it doesn't feel dated. ... The 82-year-old story gets some slight spiffing up by business book writer Axelrod, and the afterword is especially helpful in pinpointing Kyne's main ideas." - Publishers Weekly

"The Go-Getter is a great book for motivating employees to take initiative and make decisions without constantly asking for management assent. ... What a revelation!" - Mark Hansen, The American Society of Safety Engineers

"Earle M. Jorgensen, who built one of the nation's largest steel distribution companies and helped persuade Ronald Reagan to go into politics ... kept stacks of a book called The Go-Getter: A Story That Tells You How to Be One [in his desk] and gave away signed copies to visitors." - The New York Times
