"Greg Norman is an exceptional person -- a true renaissance man, with great passion and drive to succeed. His incredible career on the links and his equally successful career as an entrepreneur, building Great White Shark Enterprises into a multinational powerhouse of diverse and growing businesses, offer many important and useful life lessons."-- Nelson Peltz, "Greg Norman is one of those rare individuals whose integrity and commitment to excellence have set a standard by which others follow. He is a great and gracious sportsman and has been an inspiration to many in and beyond the world of golf."-- President George H. W. Bush, "As a successful athlete turned businessman, Greg Norman is the standard-bearer for anyone who wants to build sustainable businesses beyond their athletic endeavors. As great a golfer as he is, his greatest strengths are his vision and savvy."-- Chris Evert, "Greg Norman has excelled at golf and in business through a remarkable combination of ability, intelligence, imagination, and effort. I can personally attest that he's also a good friend with a growing interest in humanitarian work that is inspiring. We can all learn something from his experiences, insights, and advice."-- President William J. Clinton, "I first met Greg in Sydney, Australia, when he was just twenty-one. It was the first tee of the opening round of the 1976 Australian Open, and I immediately liked him as both a player and a person. I took great interest in Greg, first as a competitor and his development as a player on the U.S. tour, and then later on a personal level. Greg has contributed an enormous amount to the game of golf, and his transition from tournament golf to the business of golf has been a seamless and successful one."-- Jack Nicklaus, "Greg Norman has done what few can do -- rise to the top of two totally different worlds. He was one of golf 's greats and has become a successful one-man corporation. This book takes you on the terrific journey through both these achievements."-- Jack Welch

Synopsis
""Sharks never sleep. You must be willing to do the hard work it takes to stay on top."" With his trademark charm and eloquence, Greg Norman reveals the secrets behind his myriad achievements, tracing his journey from Queensland, Australia, to the World Golf Hall of Fame to chairman and CEO of a global business. Since the days in 1975 when he made thirtyeight dollars a week working as a trainee, Norman has won ninety-one professional tournaments around the world, including two British Opens and twenty U.S. PGA Tour titles, and he held the No. 1 World Ranking for an astonishing 331 weeks. Norman has brought the same competitive fire to the boardroom, building a business that reflects the diversity of his interests and the power of his brand. Norman has done something very few professional athletes have ever managed -- he has transcended the sport that made him famous. As head of Great White Shark Enterprises, Norman presides over a multimillion-dollar empire that ranges from golf course design to real estate to apparel to wine. An astute businessman with unmatched desire and drive, he has an unerring instinct for knowing what will work and what won't. He has combined a hands-on approach with an overall strategic vision to produce an internationally recognized and respected brand. In these pages, Norman illustrates the principles that are at the core of his successes and offers readers concrete advice for applying their own talents to successfully play both the "front nine" and the "back nine" of life. Practical, engaging, and incisive, "The Way of the Shark" shares the lessons Greg Norman has learned both on the course and off, demonstrating how anyone, at any stage ofhis or her career, can be a champion., With trademark charm and eloquence, golf's "Great White Shark" chronicles his extraordinary life and career, showing how lessons learned on pressure-packed putting greens prepared him for phenomenal success in the boardroom., With trademark charm and eloquence, golf's Great White Shark chronicles his extraordinary life and career, showing how lessons learned on pressure-packed putting greens prepared him for phenomenal success in the boardroom., "Sharks never sleep.
