From Delivery Driver To President, UPS International, Ron Wallace Releases New Book Sharing Lessons Learned Behind The Wheel, To the Helm of UPS Worldwide

    AUSTIN, TX, April 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ron Wallace was a package delivery driver for six years in rural northern Idaho before he rose through the ranks to become president of UPS International in one of the most recognized and respected companies in the world.

In his newest book, Leadership Lessons from a UPS Driver: Delivering a Culture of We, Not Me (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, April 4, 2016), Wallace shares his insights and advice from a career of nearly four decades. He pulls back the curtain on never before revealed principles into UPS successes spanning a century.

Instead of writing a typical business memoir celebrating the leader as a celebrity, Wallace shares vivid stories that focus on the people he worked with, the challenges they overcame, and the principles and practices that have come to define the UPS way.

The straightforward and easy to understand lessons provide a blueprint for an individual or company to build on past successes and adapt to future challenges. This is a must read for anyone aspiring to become a great leader.
