VOICES OF THE PAST ARE PERFECT FOR THESE DISRUPTING TIMESVijay Eswaran on starting each day with an hour of silence.2. Ewald Kist, CEO of ING, weighs in on the importance of physical fitness.3. NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott on making life's transitions.4. Frank McGinnis, Emcor Group CEO on emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.5. TV game show host Howie Mandel on the risk of getting caught up in the emotion of the moment.6. James Morgan, Applied Materials CEO on leading through economic slumps.7.

JACK WELCH says "fire the bottom 10 percent of all workers. Julie Scardina says to treat them like animals.

ANNIE DUKE, who has been fired by Donald Trump, says women should be thankful for men who underestimate them and "use it to their advantage."

Old-timers don't mince words...

T.J. RODGERS says to never settle a lawsuit no matter how expedient. Quarterback STEVE YOUNG says no decision maker ever has perfect information, so quit huddling and put the ball in the air. MARK CUBAN uses language that is not allowed in Amazon's description.

BUSINESS JOURNALIST DEL JONES - not to be confused with Dow Jones -- has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, athletes, coaches and entertainers. He combs through volumes of his notes, trims out the puffery, and bullets the best leadership tips of 64 men and women, most of them recently retired.

AMONG THEM: Steve Appleton, Brenda Barnes, Larry Brown, John Chambers, Michael Dell, Mike Eruzione, Jamie Houghton, Jeffrey Immelt, Tom Joyner, A.G. Lafley, Ronnie Lott, Howie Mandel, Wynton Marsalis, Thomas Monaghan, Anne Mulcahy, Robert Nardelli, Clarence Otis, Jeff Rich, Sally Ride, Irene Rosenfeld, Ron Sargent, Henry Silverman, Jonathan Schwartz and Sandy Weill.

It's like having sages around the campfire for an evening...

FRED SMITH says to put down this 200-page book and read further back into history. To Alexander the Great -- or at least to Martin Luther King.

"I'm proud to be a part of this book. I've fielded unusual questions from the business and sports media. The oddest question ever posed to me was when Del Jones asked if I was spanked as a child." -- Joe Moglia, former CEO of TD Ameritrade, now head football coach at Coastal Carolina University
