Profiling over twenty top figures in fields as diverse as business, government, sports, and entertainment, Leaving on Top reveals the secrets to excelling in one of life’s most formidable challenges: the graceful exit. Learn from software mastermind Bill Gates and TV personality Oprah Winfrey, who mastered the fine art of quitting at the top of their game by gracefully transitioning into the next phase of their lives. The decision to bid adieu, therefore, should always begin with the question: Will I contribute more today and tomorrow than yesterday? If not, the timing is right to enter the next stage of life. Let Leaving on Top guide you to the next venture in your distinguished career.
