Get past the wall and nurture greater levels of success. Everybody hits "The Wall" at some point in life. While the term itself comes has origins in competitive running, we've all been there. However, when it comes to CEOs, very few people hit The Wall with more on the line--whetherit's reputation, stock price, net worth, personal pride or family life. Management Consultant, Alex Bartholomaus, has experienced all of the above, and ironically, it was at Mile 14 of the prestigious Marine Corps Marathon that he both hit The Wall and had an epiphany. If he could find his own work+life equation, he could navigate The Wall, whether it came during a race, an IPO or during a personalhealth or family struggle. Endurance Executive is a CEO's perspective as told through Alex's own experience hittjng the wall that day as well as his experience and accomplishments during his career. The perspective came together to give rise to a new way of thinking, preparing and performing in the marathon of elite business performance. As Alex limped through Mile 14, he had to dig deep into his own physical and mental reserves to ask himself, "How badly do I want this?". It was a question that not only helped him during the marathon, but one that spawned the "Endurance" series of business performance books.BIOAlex P. Bartholomaus is President and CEO of People Stretch Solutions, a management consulting firm headquartered outside Washington DC. After a successful career in the wine industry, Alex wanted to share the knowledge and experience gained from his own exposure to great leaders and what he learned from different CEO's from around the world. Many of them seemed to know his or her personal work+life equation, resulting in great performances without working longer hours. Thus, People Stretch was born. At just 43, Alex has taken his internationally-inspired and thoughtful brand of business leadership teachings and turned it into a highly successful business--and a series of thought leadership books. He lives near Washington, DC with his wife and three children.
