Lessons From Leaders
What did Andy Grove learn from dealing with the flaw in Intel's Pentium chip? The problem and the resulting public outcry led to a recall, negative publicity, and a $475 million writeoff. One lesson he learned was that his tough, no-nonsense approach was not the way to deal with negative public opinion. In their book, Lasting Leadership: What You Can Learn From the Top 25 Business People of Our Times, Mukul Pandya and Robbie Shell examine lessons from the debacle for Grove, who was selected as one of the 25 most influential businesspeople of the past quarter century.
The book draws upon the insights of two of the world's most respected sources of business insight, Nightly Business Report, the United States' #1 daily TV business news program, and Knowledge@Wharton, The Wharton School's online journal of research and business analysis. The team came together to select and profile the business leaders. The profiles teach specific lessons that readers can use to discover, refine, and cultivate their own leadership style, achieve breakthrough results, and accelerate career progress. Together, they offer powerful new insights into familiar faces — and reveal the passion and brilliance that allowed less well-known leaders to achieve the extraordinary.
