About this title

Synopsis

Derek Volk learned many lessons about running his business while coaching girls’ softball.

In Go for Third, Derek pitches game-changing leadership principles he gained on the softball field that will expand your influence in business and beyond. Derek has tested and applied these timeless leadership truths in his organization as owner and leader of Volk Packaging Corporation, a Maine-based, multi-million-dollar manufacturer of corrugated boxes.

With easy-to-read chapters, relatable humor, and real-life examples, Go for Third teaches business-building skills and mindsets such as ...

• Go for third, even when it’s a risk.
• Keep your eye on the ball.
• Don’t swing a bat that’s too heavy.
• Encourage trust between your players.
• Pick the players with the right attitude, not just the right skills.
• Know your competition’s strengths and weaknesses.

Each chapter ends with an Action Plan—an intentional step or thought-provoking question designed to take you and your business to home plate!

Dig deep, take the risks, and Go for Third!
