Leave Something on the Table: and Other Surprising Lessons for Success in Business and in Life

One of the most innovative minds in business provides an equally original guide to getting ahead.

Frank Bennackâ€™s accomplishments in media and business are unrivaled.

He was named chief executive of Hearst in 1979, and for nearly 30 years he helped solidify the companyâ€™s reputation as a leader in consumer media, overseeing the purchase of more than two dozen television stations and several major newspapers (Houston Chronicle), the launch of top-selling magazines (O, The Oprah Magazine), and a partnership with ABC, now the Walt Disney Company, to create the pioneering cable networks A&E, HISTORY, and Lifetime. One of his greatest achievements was when, in 1990, he negotiated a 20 percent stake in ESPN for $167 million. The sports network would be valued by market analysts at roughly $30 billion. He also played a key role in Hearstâ€™s march toward diversification, with acquisitions of business media assets including global ratings agency Fitch Group.

In Leave Something on the Table, Bennack takes readers behind the scenes of these high-stakes moves and offers practical tips for excelling in the corporate world and beyond. He tells stories from his Texas childhoodâ€”a first job at 8, his own television show at 17â€”that foretold why he would become a CEO at 46. And he shares his encounters with US presidents, reflects on his longtime commitment to philanthropy, and describes his and his colleaguesâ€™ unwavering quest to build the visionary Hearst Tower.

This is a heartfelt handbook for how to advance not only as a professional but as a person. As Bennack writes, â€œItâ€™s not currently fashionable to make the case for the high road. It looks longer, and old-fashioned, and itâ€™s easy to conclude that while youâ€™re climbing the ladder, burdened by your values, others are reaching the top faster. But if the stories in these pages suggest a broader truth, itâ€™s exactly the opposite: The high road is quicker, with a better view along the way, and more satisfaction at the summit.â€
