Porchlights Best Leadership & Strategy Book of The YearAn inspiring memoir from the CEO of DICKs Sporting Goods that is not only entertaining but will be of great value to any entrepreneur (Phil Knight, New York Times bestselling author of Shoe Dog).Its How We Play the Game shows how a trailblazing business was created by giving back to the community and by taking principled, and sometimes controversial, standsincluding against the type of weapons that are too often used in mass shootings and other tragedies.Ed Stacks memoir tells the story of a complicated founder and an ambitious sonone who transformed a business by making it about more than business, conceiving it as a force for good in the communities it serves.In 1948, Ed Stacks father started Dicks Bait and Tackle in Binghamton, New York. Ed Stack bought the business from his father in 1984, and grew it into the largest sporting goods retailer in the country, with 800 locations and close to $9 billion in sales. The transformation Ed wrought wasnt easy: economic headwinds nearly toppled the chain twice. But DICKs support for embattled youth sports programs earned the stores surprising loyalty, and the company won even more attention when, in the wake of yet another school shootingat Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Floridait chose to become the first major retailer to pull all semiautomatic weapons from its shelves, raise the age of gun purchase to twentyone, and, most strikingly, destroy the assaultstyletype rifles then in its inventory.With vital lessons for anyone running a business and eyeopening reflections about what a company owes the people it serves, Its How We Play the Game is a compelling narrativeIn a genre that can frequently be staid, Mr. Stacks corporate biography is deeply personal[Features] surprising openness [and] interesting and humorous anecdotes (Pittsburgh PostGazette).
