From Celebrity Apprentice winner and Hollywood veteran Leeza Gibbons, a practical and inspiring guide to leading with kindness. Most people know Leeza Gibbons as the bubbly former host of Entertainment Tonight- what they may not know is Gibbons is a savvy businesswoman who has quietly thrived, for decades, in a cut throat industry that rewards novelty and the next big thing. Gibbons busted out of the backdrop in 2015 when she won Celebrity Apprentice, outmaneuvering her opponents by embracing a "no drama" mentality. Throughout the show, (which also catapulted Joan Rivers back into the limelight,) Gibbons stayed cool, calm, and, most importantly, true to herself. Even Donald Trump made a point of admiring her uncharacteristic poise on the show. The morning after her victory, Gibbons was asked on the TODAY show what she had learned on the show. "I learned you can play it your way," she said, "and still win." The New Nice is Gibbons' lively and prescriptive guide to succeeding in life and business focusing on the tools she has used throughout her decades long career. - Emphasize kindness over competition - Success unshared is failure - Put the needs of your team above yourself - Pay it forward by mentoring others - Just be you The book draws on dozens examples from Gibbons' life including her successful partnership with HSN/QVC, her string of unlikely mentees who have gone on to amazing careers in the entertainment, stories from her early days in Hollywood featuring Dick Clark, Suzanne Somers, and of course, Celebrity Apprentice which will be timed to the release. The Hollywood veteran shows readers that with kindness, authenticity, and real teamwork, you can play it your way and win.
