In his first book, You Can’t Teach Hungry, attorney John Morgan laid out the fundamental groundwork for running a law firm as a business. His second book, You Can’t Teach Vision, builds on that groundwork, expanding upon such issues as maintaining perspective, dealing with competition, learning to take necessary risks, finding and encouraging the right employees, diversifying interests, maintaining forward business momentum, avoiding excessive greed, setting goals and following through, and eventually, bowing out and managing the politics of succession. Drawing heavily upon his own experiences as a serial entrepreneur, Morgan shows you how to do what it takes to get ahead, and stay ahead, in the fast-paced world of business.
