Are You Chasing Greatness?

New book from former Viacom employee conveys leadership, lessons and legacy!

Washington, DC (July 08, 2009) – 

Chasing Greatness: The Young Professional’s Guide to a Dynamic Life is poised to be on the New York Times bestseller list. Chasing Greatness is more than a book; it's a guide for dynamic professionals who will reshape the world...the book you wish someone had given you years ago. It resets the way you make decisions by offering insight for managing people and situations.

Young professionals catapulted President Barack Obama to his position as Commander in Chief. However, this generation is at a crossroads of deciding who they're going to be, not just professionally and spiritually, but also in terms of their place in humanity globally. Full of rich content for the next generation of dynamic leaders, Chasing Greatness is a practical guide for living a dynamic and uncompromising life.

Best-selling author Valorie Burton states, "What Towan shares on these pages is a heartfelt desire for you to live the life you are called to live." If you like John Maxwell, Rick Warren and other leadership authors, you'll love Chasing Greatness. More than your ordinary motivational manuscript, Chasing Greatness is the Sun Tzu almost Art of War for our generation; it explores an understanding of greatness that has nothing to do with materialism, but instead looks at what greatness really means, how to get it, how to keep it and why you want it. Our society is plagued with so-called successful leaders whose legacy has been interrupted by scandal; yet true success is only influential within the parameters of integrity and character, or it's just media attention. This book will change the lives of all who read it and propel them to greatness by exposing what keeps them from it.

Author Towan Isom, who worked at Viacom's cash cow Black Entertainment Television, says, "I've met people from all walks of life who share their struggles in their relationships, career, failures and more. I realize people want greatness but are crippled in their decision making skills. Chasing Greatness offers insight on such things as how other people build your reputation, essentials for greatness, tips for confrontation, personal deterrents to greatness, the new qualities for today’s great leader and so much more. In addition, ChasingGreatness.com enables people to opt-in for monthly inspirational messages, interviews, online blogs, online surveys, downloadable worksheets, and thought provokers to assess where you are in your greatness pursuits. It's amazing!"
