Over the course of a forty-year career in the worlds of

law, sports, business, and politics, Ron Shapiro has worked with

and advised an incredible variety of people. What he’s found is

that the secret ingredient for getting into the winner’s circle is

simply the discipline of methodical preparation: that old-school,

step-by-step way of having all your ducks in a row, whether you are

an executive getting ready to do a deal or make a speech; a pitcher

studying the traits of opposing hitters and keeping a meticulous

notebook of their strengths and weaknesses; an international trade

negotiator who knows all about the issues and the people on the

other side before sitting down at the table; or a surgeon who

rehearses like a classical musician.

Deep down, you know you should do it. But how often do you wing

it and fly by the seat of your pants because “Gosh, I don’t have

time . . . I’ve done this before . . . I know what I’m doing”? It

is obvious that you have to get ready for whatever game you’re

playing, but all too frequently methodical preparation is the

missing ingredient in today’s world of instant analysis, easy

access to information, and glibness that sounds good at first but

is unconnected with the reality at hand.

In Dare to Prepare, successful people such as wine guru Robert

Parker, investment legend Bill Miller, pianist Leon Fleisher,

Goldman Sachs partner Lisa Fontenelli, broadcaster Bob Costas,

firefighter Ann Marie Tierney, New York Mets manager Willie

Randolph, and many others share the way they apply discipline in

preparing for career-changing games, deals, meetings, and

interviews. Cal Ripken Jr. played thousands of games in the major

leagues but prepared for each like it was his first. NPR host Liane

Hansen has interviewed countless people but approaches each

interview with the same meticulous research time and time

again.

Make sure there are no slips “twixt cup and lip” as you get ready

for your next personal or professional challenge by daring to

prepare.

媒体评论

the odds of success in business and in life."

Journal and editor in chief of Time Inc.

successful leaders in a variety of other industries, can help

anyone be better at his/her endeavors. This book is a must-have for

　　"As a psychiatrist and teacher I love this book. It does three

things better than any other. It offers a thoughtful structure for

thinking through a life problem to its solution. It provides

stories with fascinating plots and outcomes which make each of the

steps in the structure clear and memorable, and it promotes a

feeling of relief through revealing to readers like me that we are

not so different from everyone else in often failing to make a plan

primarily because we're not sure how."

　　—Dr. Paul McHugh, Henry Phipps Prof of Psychiatry Emeritus, Johns

Hopkins University

before you begin.”

　　—George Kilroy, President and CEO, PHH Arval

all walks of life.”

　　—Fred Wilpon, Chairman and CEO, New York Mets, and Chairman of

Sterling Equities

　　“Ron Shapiro makes clear that–in any industry, in any sector,

whatever the objective–there simply is no substitute for

preparation. That is certainly true for educators. But it is the

way this point is illustrated–with spare, precise advice from

people who have learned in often-dramatic ways the age-old saw that

failing to prepare is preparing to fail–that makes Dare to Prepare

such an engaging, enjoyable, and ultimately indispensable read.”

—Nancy S. Grasmick, Maryland State Superintendent of Schools

　　“Ron Shapiro, the torch bearer for the Power of Nice, reveals

with great insight another key to success, the Power of

Preparation. Vivid accounts from Ron’s career and the careers of an

array of interesting people show convincingly that achieving

interactions whether with family, friends, neighbors, or

business.”

　　—Kurt Schmoke, Dean of Howard University School of Law, Former

Mayor of Baltimore

business leaders to business students. Ron Shapiro has done a

wonderful job of immediately engaging the readers and never losing

them, as he shares lessons learned about the value of preparing

with deliberate purpose…the purpose to succeed. One only has to

Dare to Prepare in order to stay ahead of the competition.”

　　—Dr. Kathy Player, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Grand

Canyon University

　　“Whether you are educating a sales force, managers, or front-line

company representatives, or just looking to improve your own

efficiency and success rate, this book is a great resource”

　　— John Cochran, Senior Executive, Bank of America Card

Services

　　“This book shows that leadership is not just about instinct,

charisma, and rhetoric; it's even more about preparation, planning,

and perspiration. We owe it to the next generation to think before

we speak and to plan before we act. With the use of compelling

in the business world today.  Those who read Shapiro’s book

and heed his advice will hike their success rate in practice. 

And then, there are the others…”

　　—Linda Ginzel, Clinical Prof of Managerial Psychology, The

University of Chicago

　　“Ron Shapiro takes what you might think you know - the idea that

it is wise to have a plan - and fills it brimful of life by showing

how a wide variety of people actually act on the idea. A book with

a chapter titled 'I would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ and

Eric Mangini' contains many delights.”

　　—George F. Will, Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper columnist,

journalist, and author.

　　“Leadership is about responsibility. Accepting this

responsibility changes the game in any leadership role......and

being 'in charge' means you have an obligation to everyone you lead

to be the best. Don't be fooled ....it all starts with

preparedness. Ron Shapiro's Dare to Prepare finally captures that

evasive element of leadership in a way that all leaders ...present

and future....can utilize in reaching their goals. Bravo...required

reading for any leader!”
