Strand Notes

In "7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis," Bill George, bestselling author of "True North," argues that the economic crisis of 2008-2009 was not caused by ballooning debt and subprime mortgages, but by leaders who failed to follow their True North. George draws from his own experiences, as well as the examples of several companies both large and small, to illuminate the vital lessons of those who have survived and thrived in crisis. Whether there is a run on your company's stock, earnings shortfalls, organizational upheavals, or other crises, this book offers the seven lessons that can help managers develop the strength and vision to lead through and emerge victorious.
