In Tighten the Lug Nuts, veteran UPS executive and CEO Rocky Romanella shares the lessons, stories, and defining moments that shaped his leadership philosophy over four decades. Drawing from real experiences leading teams of all sizes, he reveals how small decisions, simple acts of kindness, and everyday moments can become the foundation of a powerful leadership legacy.

This is not a book about titles or authority. It’s a book about character—and how the way you treat people ultimately determines the culture you build and the success you achieve.
Through practical insights and relatable stories, you will learn how to:

• Lead with integrity, clarity, and consistency

Discover how to make decisions that honor both your values and your responsibilities.

• Build a culture where people feel respected and inspired

See how dignity, trust, and genuine connection drive long‑term performance.

• Navigate tough conversations and high‑pressure moments with confidence

Use a proven framework to balance results, relationships, and long‑term vision.

• Create a leadership style rooted in service, not ego

Learn why the best leaders focus on lifting others, not elevating themselves.

• Leave a legacy that lasts

Understand how small, intentional actions shape how you will be remembered.

Romanella' s warm, accessible storytelling makes complex leadership principles feel simple, human, and actionable. His message is clear: leadership is a privilege, and the way you show up—every day, in every interaction—matters more than you think.

If you believe leadership is about service, accountability, and treating people the right way, Tighten the Lug Nuts will become a trusted companion on your journey.

Lead with purpose. Act with integrity. Build a legacy that stands the test of time.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
