A Great Fit: My Take on Confidence, Charisma, and the Career That Suits You Best

From Oil Rig to Runway: Universal Life Lessons and Career Tips from the Former CEO of Calvin Klein

Tom Murry headed Calvin Klein as CEO for seventeen years during a time of massive growth and success for the company. In his first book, A Great Fit: My Take on Confidence, Charisma, and the Career that Suits You Best, Murry describes his decades of experience as a leader in the field he loves, along with personal stories of how he made it to the profession he was meant to have. He provides down-to-earth advice to help others to find their own "best-fit" career. This is not a how-to, but rather a thoughtful and humble look at the characteristics that allowed the author to thrive in his chosen career.

Through real-world stories from his own life, Murry details the traits of a good leader and how to determine which ones are crucial to success in any given workplace. This book contains stories of and references to well-known fashion personalities, institutions, and events in an easy-going narrative that takes us from Murry's childhood in Houston to the bright lights and wealth of Manhattan and his travels around the world, including a stint on an oil rig as a young man. Everyone, no matter their career or stage in life--or their knowledge of or interest in the fashion world--will find this book a fun, informative, and inspirational read.
