Bestselling author Michael Bergdahl signs with Brighton for "The Sam Walton Way"

June 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Brighton Publishing LLC announced the signing of bestselling author Michael Bergdahl for "The Sam Walton Way", scheduled for release in late-2011.

In “The Sam Walton Way,” Bergdahl, who worked directly under Walton at the retail giant and was given his nickname, “Bird Dawg,” by Walton himself, recaptures the Walton magic and mystique in this sure-to-be instant classic for business leaders and owners alike. With passion and humor, Bergdahl reveals the Walton-genius, which made the business leader and American patriot such a monumental fixture on the nation’s landscape for generations.

“The Sam Walton Way” is the ultimate insider’s course in business success. Each of the 52 individual Best Practices of Sam Walton are still in use at Wal-Mart today. Whether in good times or today’s tough economic times, you’ll find Bergdahl’s lessons from America’s greatest retail genius are not only relevant, but may be just what your business—and your life—needs in order to see you reach your goals.

Michael Bergdahl has taken what he learned from years working with Sam Walton and has produced a sharply written, inspirational book about reaching your goals, succeeding in business and life, and beating the competition,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC.

"Michael Bergdahl has essentially written a 21st Century version of Dale Carnegie’s masterpiece for today’s generation and business environment—and with wit and wisdom that are unmistakably Sam Walton,” said McGuire. “This is a treasure chest of business knowledge from a master with no equal, told by one of the finest voices in business today.”

Michael Bergdahl is an established authority on the best practices of Wal-Mart and Sam Walton. He has appeared on CNN, CNBC, CNN FN, MSNBC, CNN International, Univision, CBS National Radio, and Bloomberg TV. Bergdahl runs a LinkedIn discussion group called, “Wal-Mart’s Best Practices” which has 1,700 worldwide members who are retailers, product manufacturers / suppliers, supply chain professionals, college students, and college professors.
