In this practical yet philosophical book, Aldo Papone – a senior advisor at American Express – collects his insights and personal experiences, famous quotes that have inspired him and his favorite stories in a business memoir that pulls no punches yet is filled with humanity. The Power of the Obvious perfectly captures what really counts in business in a way that teaches and inspires. What really counts are things we all once knew but need to be reminded of. Mr. Papone reminds us – sometimes bluntly, often humorously and always with the desire to bring us back to the power of the obvious.
