Reviews"This book doesn't rely on outdated theories about pack leadership with ‘alpha dogs' attempting to achieve world domination. From Wags to Riches beautifully illustrates what modern behavioral science tells us: the most effective leaders (dog or human) don't force their will on others--they find out what motivates their followers and help them make good choices." —Victoria Stilwell, world-renowned dog trainer and host of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog" "Bob Vetere has been a professional champion of a surprisingly resilient sector of our economy: pets. We may scrimp on ourselves, but we'll always find a way to afford the best food for Fido. Now, with From Wags to Riches , he explains how business success flows from our understanding—and adopting—some of the same traits animals use to win our devotion. A fun read for alpha CEOs as well as bystanders at the corporate dog run!" —Michael Schaffer, author of One Nation Under Dog In this fun read, Robert Vetere brilliantly develops this metaphor between dog-human relationships and solid, collaborative business practices by offering examples from his own fascinating experiences as a successful businessman. Even if you're not a business executive or MBA student, From Wags to Riches offers lessons on business (and life) that everyone should know." —Dr. Alan Beck, Director, Center of the Human Animal Bond, Purdue Veterinary Medicine, Purdue University I am a dog lover for over 58 years and have been a business entrepreneur for the past 30 years. How Bob has ‘connected the dots' between the similarities of dogs, people, relationships and business is just phenomenal. Every MBA student, every executive looking to move ahead and maybe any manger struggling with responsibility, along with anyone who loves dogs and business, needs to read this book. Every chapter is absolutely illuminating and intuitive. At the end of the day, From Wags to Riches was like eating comfort food…made me feel warm and cozy. We all can learn a lot from this well-written and entertaining book." —Thomas A.

SynopsisMove over Jack Welch and Warren Buffett. The new role model for business leaders isn't a corporate superstar or one of America's wealthiest tycoons. It's the family dog. What can man's best friend teach us about building stronger, more collaborative organizations? Plenty. In From Wags to Riches , management expert Robert Vetere explores how our partnership with dogs, going back to the first human settlements, provides an intriguing model for teamwork in the corporate world. As president of The American Pet Products Association, Vetere has partnered with Purdue University researchers to explore the human-animal bond. Here, he also considers what dogs teach us about intimacy and relationships and tells why they've become the center of American family life. With interviews from CEOs who've learned important lessons from their dogs, From Wags to Riches shows how you can apply insights from dog trainers and animal behavior experts to boost creativity and build a playful environment where people feel free to innovate. Vetere demonstrates that canine-like qualities such as sharing responsibility across pack members and tuning into each other's needs and emotions by observing facial expressions and body cues can dramatically improve your personal effectiveness and ability to lead. From Wags to Riches contains practical tips and canine insights for any dog lover who aspires to become leader of his or her pack.
