Summary |
Most business leaders can take only so much pressure before their performance slides. Yet some CEOs deliver their greatest successes when times are the toughest-when customers’ preferences are shifting away from a company’s products, when new regulations are shrinking profit margins, when political unrest is destroying supply lines.
In Better Under Pressure, Justin Menkes reveals the common traits that make these leaders successful. Drawing on in-depth interviews with sixty CEO’S from an array of industries and performance data from two hundred other leaders, Menkes shows that great executives strive relentlessly to maximize their own potential-as well as stoke their people’s innate thirst for their own triumphs.
