Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NATIONAL BESTSELLER A groundbreaking blueprint for mastering "cross-pressures" in a rapidly changing world, teaching leaders to execute and innovate, think locally and globally, and project ambition and statesmanship alikefrom a Stanford Business School lecturer and consultant to some of the biggest and most innovative CEOsSince the start of this century, businesses have confronted a series of extreme and constant disruptions, including technological upheavals, a pandemic, and a global financial crisis. As a result, today's leaders, from startup founders to the managers of global giants, face unprecedented pressures from their bosses, investors, customers, peers, suppliers, and employees.
