Thursday, June 20, 2024
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Justin Bookey, award-winning marketing strategist, competitive table tennis player, and non-profit founder, announces the release of his best-selling book Ping Pong Leadership: 18 Principles to Succeed at Any Table in Business, Sports, and Life in partnership with Amplify Publishing.
Tens of millions of people worldwide enjoy the game of ping pong. In the 1970s, the leaders of the United States and China famously used friendly table tennis matches as a first step in thawing decades of icy relations--an effort dubbed Ping Pong Diplomacy. Bookey's Ping Pong Leadership takes the next step. It shows leaders of all levels how to envision and create meaningful change, from small business to Fortune 500 companies.
"I've learned from visionary leaders as they prepare, execute, fail, succeed, and keep moving forward," Bookey said. "Same with elite table tennis players. And the crossover of winning principles is huge. I've tried to crystallize them so that leaders of all kinds can envision their own paths to success."
Book Life by Publisher's Weekly called Ping Pong Leadership "a lively guide to leadership skills through the surprising perspective of ping pong." Coupled with exclusive insights from leader thinkers in commerce, culture, and technology, readers will learn lessons from a beloved global sport distilled into 18 actionable and unforgettable 'Pong Principles.' The book contains exclusive insights from renowned physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson; Prime Minister of Iceland KatrÃn Jakobsdóttir; Atari and Chuck E. Cheese founder Nolan Bushnell; GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani, and more. "Every leader will appreciate the Pong Principles in this book. These stories from impressive leaders and innovators will accelerate your ability to reach your business or leadership goals," said Jeff Hoffman, cofounder of Priceline.com.
Ping Pong Leadership is on sale now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Amplify Publishing. It is distributed by Amplify Publishing Group, Ingram, the American Wholesale Book Company, Baker & Taylor, and Follett Library Resources.
