Publisher's Synopsis
The very nature of being a business leader and an innovator means that you fully embrace ambiguity and are comfortable with being challenged regularly. Choosing this career path is completely irrational because the odds of succeeding are dismal, but most succeed because of their unwavering belief, laser focus on delivering and persistence. Originally published in 1901, How They Succeeded recognizes and celebrates the outstanding contribution made by individual game changers to their businesses and, in many cases, the world. The business leaders profiled in this book are of various ages, social backgrounds and industries. However, the one common thread which unites them is that they dared to believe. And, in believing, they made the seemingly impossible a reality.
