The book, which claims that success is rooted in ethical business practices, follows Bailey's 50-plus-year career as a business leader, corporate spokesperson and PR agency owner. Bailey shares his personal successes, failures and lessons from actual events that helped to shape the local economy, state policy, and even the national consciousness.
"Anyone who is serious about their profession or starting an enterprise must follow the 'Golden Rule' and take ownership of their own future to achieve true greatness," advises Bailey.
His book provides many educational, often humorous anecdotes from Bailey's agency experience that readers and aspiring entrepreneurs can embrace in work and life.
"In my fifties, I was told I was 'too old' to start a company," he recounts, after having spent decades working for others. "Determined, I formed a firm and grew from a single desk to a staff of 40, with many clients and offices statewide. Through hard labor and ethic, I succeeded. Anyone can, at any age, as I did."
"The Power of Ownership" (ISBN: 1482639551) is available on Amazon and retails for $14.98 in paperback. Hardcover and Kindle editions arrive this summer. The book is 236 pages and includes many historical Detroit photographs.
