7 LESSONS FOR LEADING IN CRISIS
For anyone in a leadership position facing today’s unprecedented economic challenges. George draws from his own in-the-trenches experience and lessons from leaders (representing an array of companies) who have weathered tough economic storms. With straight talk and clear directions, George shows what leaders must do to survive any crisis.
"7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis is an excellent practical account of why so many corporate leaders failed and yet others turned crisis into opportunity-and how you can apply those lessons to your own leadership." -David Gergen, Director, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School
