About the Book

In The Mensch Method: Achieving Success Through Character in Life and Business, seasoned executive and advisor Todd Zive presents a powerful roadmap for achieving success in both life and business through character and integrity. Drawing from his own journey-marked by the murder of his father when he was four years old-Zive explores how resilience, self-belief, and meaningful relationships have shaped his personal and professional growth. 

The book outlines the principles of what it means to lead as a mensch, a person of integrity and honor. He argues that true success is not just about reaching goals or accumulating wealth but about how you get there-by lifting others up and rising together. 

Throughout each chapter, Todd shares personal stories and lessons learned from key mentors, inspiring readers to lead with character and leave a lasting, positive impact in the world.
