Dave Mosby is co-author of the highly acclaimed book, The Paradox of Excellence: How Great Performance Can Kill Your Business which has appeared in Fast Company, Entrepreneur Magazine, Harvard Business Review, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News and Canada's Globe and Mail. High-performance companies often unwittingly create unrealistic customer expectations that become impossible to meet. In this important book, Dave Mosby uses a realistic story that illustrates the paradox of excellence: the better you perform, the more invisible you become to everything but bad news. The Paradox of Excellence shows the symptoms and causes, and provides clear guidance for overcoming this perplexing dilemma with ideas that can be readily implemented, and a practical framework for achieving long-term success.

Previously, Dave Mosby was President and CEO of Softguard Systems, where he increased market capitalization 2,500 percent in three years. Prior to that, he was president of The Systems Support Group and has also led teams at SAGE Software, Boole & Babbage, and University Computing Company.
