In 2002, during a backpacking adventure around the world, author John P. Strelecky had a profound experience in Africa.  It proved to be an experience that would transform not just his life, but the lives of people around the world, as he went on to share his discovery through his writing and live presentations.

That discovery is something he calls The Big Five for Life™. 

In his transformational book, The Big Five for Life - Leadership's Greatest Secret, John shares the final legacy of Thomas Derale, a man viewed by those around him as the greatest leader in the world. His companies made fortunes, his people loved him, and customers would wait weeks if necessary to interact with his organizations. 

He died tragically at just 55 years of age, and even in that-the act of dying-he inspired everyone around him.  This book is the story of who he was, how he led, and the way he left the world.  In it are the secrets he used to build fourteen highly profitable companies, to create cultures so purposeful that customers and the most talented people sought him out, and to leave a legacy that will be remembered for generations. 

The pioneering business principles in this book, such as the way he used the Big Five for Life in everything he did as a leader, are his final gift for current and future leaders everywhere.  They have already helped thousands of people and organizations around the world.

In addition to The Big Five for Life - Leadership's Greatest Secret, John has also shared how to use the transformational power of the Big Five for Life™ in our everyday lives, through his CD series and in his book, Life Safari.
