Personal Statement from Author
Dear Reader,
I hope you capture and understand the evolution of Waite’s incisiveness and keenness necessary to help him have “an edge.”
Later in my life, in other industries, I have found “an edge” exhilarating and important. If reading His Edge leads you to develop “an edge,” you will have captured the esprit of the esprit de corps found in the successful people around you.
